Country Living Magazine Spring Fair

This is a shot of my little stand as it was set up on the first day before we (my neighbour Michelle with her Baa Stools) moved to our lovely 5m x 4.5m stand and people could actually see the sheep...and buy them all. I learned several useful lessons at the show. Firstly, location, location, location and secondly that yes, size does indeed matter. I had somehow persuaded myself that it was enough just to be present at these big shows wheres being in an area of high footfall and having a long enough stand frontage for chatting browsers to actually notice is hugely important. I have provisionally booked for Spring '15 with a still small stand but in a really good position, I will need to sell twice as much but given that I lost the first day trading and had no Mirabelles left for the fourth and fifth days I feel that should be achievable.Also, having been forced by circumstance to listen to all the 'start up' workshops and sharing with the very professional Baa Stools it has resulted in Ewenique Furniture on facebook and twitter and the new name which can go in show guides and really say in two words what my work is all about. Em is doing a great job as my social media intern and running the twitter page for me...a retweet by Homes and Antiques yesterday got my name out to all their 16 thousand plus followers, its and intriguing thing.
