Just the basics this time, since I don't want <em>too </em>much outlay.<br /><br />This is my list so far:<br /><ul><li>Public liability - quote received but not taken out yet</li><br /><li>Paste table - in shed, need to check on condition</li><br /><li>Table cloth & clips - in Watched section on eBay</li><br /><li>Jewellery displays - likewise</li><br /><li>Website - layout done, hosting on order</li><br /><li>Business cards - on order</li><br /><li>Boxes and bags</li><br /><li>Jewellery!</li><br /><li>Cash box and spare change</li><br /><li>Notebook for commision orders</li></ul><br />There are probably a couple of things I've forgotten, but that's a start.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7324556391283367689-7950479115757114989?l=designedbyfae.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Faehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07824861914579016506noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324556391283367689.post-80137520851089457032009-04-27T23:34:00.000-07:002009-04-27T23:51:57.119-07:00It's weird how fate works sometimes.<br /><br />Last week I was in Tesco and noticed a new jewellery making magazine. Now I'd sworn off making jewellery because I spend a fortune on beads and haven't really sold many of my creations, but I can't resist shiny things and I bought it. That afternoon, while browsing craftsforum, I saw someone offering spaces at a craft fair in Warrington at the end of May.<br /><br />So I emailed my interest and now I have my first official craft fair. Neep.<br /><br />Of course, that means I now have to 'set up' a business in four weeks. For me, the first step is a website. Having decided on the name Designed by Fae, I asked the wonderful Em if she could draw me a fairy. I wanted something that was solely mine, that I did not have to worry about breaching copyright by using. The result is sitting on my banner. Lovely, isn't she? *g*<br /><br />I have the layout of the website done, and a framework of pages, but I can't afford to buy the domain until Friday *sigh* I can't afford any new beads either, so I'm sorting through my stash and trying to come up with designs.<br /><br />Then there is the business cards and packaging to arrange. Talk about busy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7324556391283367689-8013752085108945703?l=designedbyfae.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Faehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07824861914579016506noreply@blogger.com1
