Oldie but a goodie


Well what a busy time I am having.  The two craft fairs were good at the weekend.  Sunday's was so busy, about 2000 people though the door in 4 hours.  I am busy sewing now to restock for my last two fairs on 27th and 28th November.  I decided to get a card reader as sadly so many people carry little cash with them these days. I only lost one sale through not having one on Sunday.  I talked to a few stallholders and read some reviews and decided to get a Zettle reader.  It was on offer for £22.80 and there is no contract with just 1.75% fees on each transaction. So when I am not using it it costs me nothing.

My card was made for a friend who is 74 and loved 50's and 60's music.  I used Nitwits Peachy Keen digi kit.  Some elements were printed onto the backing papers and some printed onto card and attached with foam pads.

I still need to make several Christmas cards so am hoping to get several made today.

Great golden oldie card Marianne, my eara! That's a great idea getting a card reader... I only do one fair a year no but your gadget would have been useful years ago. Happy sewing!
