I had a great time yesterday at Magpie Market, my very first craft show ever, and I thought I’d share some photos from the event. I wish I had taken more… of the other booths and the incredible location (The Lot, in the Grassmarket… really beautiful building). There was so many awesome vendors there, it was SUPER hard not to buy stuff from everyone. I think I saw something I wanted at every table! I caved and bought one thing though, a really cute necklace from Emily.

Here are some of the photos of my table and of a few of my neighbors (with some photos featuing Claira.. )

Here’s the left side of my table featuring three gangly squids and two octopuses!

Here’s the right side with my tripod monsters, squid brooches, and zippered pouches. Ry’s uncle made me the awesome mini-staircase to display all of my critters and it worked perfectly. You can also see in the above photos my super cool squid sign, which Ry drew himself, cut out, spray painted and then finished with black line work. It is totally awesome.

Vertiline in Love was my table mate to my right (seen in photo above with Claira having a wee chat with Emily before she dashed off to do more flyering!) Not pictured, but super awesome table mate to the left was Glittery Sah who came down to the ‘burgh from Glasgow.

It was a lovely time all around, with lots of beautiful art & craft.. thanks to everyone who stopped by and admired  or bought my plush. Emily did a super job on the whole event.  It was a great first experience me for, though next time I need to remember to bring snacks, ha. I think I drank like three coffee’s while there and it should be known: coffee is an essential part of craft fairing.
