Perth Christmas Craft Market

Saturday 24th November
10am to 6pm
King Edward Street, Perth

Unfortunately, I have had to pull out of this market as I'm having an op on Thursday.  I know ... could the timing be any worse?!

Anyway, the market looks like being a really good day out, so if you are within travelling distance of Perth ... get yourself there for a market full of talented makers and some medieval entertainment with archers, musicians, jesters, jugglers and even some knights re-enacting medieval scenes! 

The Christmas Light Festival is also happening on Saturday so there will be additional entertainment from 12pm on the High Street culminating in a spectacular light show and performances on Tay Street from 6pm to 9pm.

The Christmas Craft Market also continues on Sunday 25th November, from 11am to 5pm.

The Handmade Show

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my stall at The Handmade Show on Sunday. 

Thanks also to Dawn Fuge for organising another great show. 

I had a fab time catching up with Aileen Clarke from Aileen Clarke Crafts and meeting Dee from JammyThings and Linda from Couthie Designs. 

Roll on the next market - Perth Christmas Market on 24th November, frantic making continues ... but I can't really complain as I have a huge mug of tea and the coal fire to keep me going :)

The Handmade Show

Handmade Show in Perth Concert Hall tomorrow ... miss it and miss out!

And you have the chance to buy some fabulous Christmas gifts or lovely treats for you from lots of wonderful makers.

Would be lovely to see you there so please stop by and say 'Hi' :)

Fårönatta

The wonderful island of Fårö celebrates the end of the summer this Saturday with Fårönatta ... if you are anywhere in the vicinity you should get yourself there, it sounds like a fabulous evening.


Restaurang Simunds (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Restaurang-Simunds/117260525023171#!/pages/Restaurang-Simunds/117260525023171) is offering a range of food and entertainment for the evening ... grill, bar, music, Icelandic horses, and a market with lots of goodies including the first international appearance of fatcat felt!


I'm only just back from my first visit to Fårö and busy preparing for the exhibition so I'm really sad to be missing it, if you do visit, please share your photos so I can see what I missed.


Here's to a great Fårönatta.

thank you

to everyone who braved the chilly day on saturday to come down to the perth christmas craft market.

we were so lucky with the weather - the winds and rain had gone, we didn't have any snow and the sun even shone for a brief while!

i will be updating my online shop over the weekend but if there is something you would like to order in the meantime, please feel to drop me an email to fatcatfelt 'at' hotmail 'dot' co 'dot' uk or get in touch through this blog.

winterlight festival

thanks to everyone who stopped by over the weekend, it was lovely to meet lots of new people.

thanks also to mandy of an cnoc for doing a sterling job of getting the market organised - thank goodness we were indoors as it snowed on sunday!

and thanks to everyone at comrie croft - the festival was a wonderful weekend in a really unique setting, with so much going on over the two days from music to workshops to lantern processions, there really was something for everyone.

oh and one final thanks to my fellow stall-holders, who had me in stitches! the whole weekend had such a relaxed and happy atmosphere that it felt like a day out with friends rather than a hectic market.

this is an outdoor market, so make sure you wrap up warm (i certainly will!), a great opportunity to browse a wonderful range of talented makers.

winter light festival at comrie croft

well i have to say that i am really excited to be taking part in this wonderful festival. the workshops sound fab - i can't wait to see the lanterns that visitors will be making, and the junk drum and samba workshop sounds intriguing. then, to round it all off, an evening of quirky folk music!

i really hope you'll be in the area and can pop in, i'll have a stall full of fatcat felt loveliness in the festive market so it would be great to see you there.

the festival is being hosted by remake scotland and comrie croft in aid of CHAS and action on depression. there will be a festive market, music and craft workshops, a lantern and drum procession, folk music …

workshops are just £5 each and you can book by calling comrie croft on 01764 670140. plus, if you would like to help out on the day or give a hand with the lantern making, please contact fiona gilbert on 0750 557 6361 or fiona.remake@gmail.com.

thanks ...

... to everyone who came along yesterday.

it was lovely to see some familiar faces and great to meet lots of new folk too.

dawn did such a fabulous job organising this event, it was so well advertised in the run up to the day and we had a steady stream of visitors all day long, plus it was a treat to be indoors on such a chilly, frosty day!

next event is the perth christmas craft fair on saturday 26th november - more details to follow soon.

in the meantime, if there is anything you saw on my stall yesterday that you would like to purchase, please feel free to get in touch (i'm hoping to get my online shop up and running this week but sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day).
