saying goodbye to craft candy...


On saturday me and my good friend Bianca headed out in the rain to sheffield to make a farewell trip to craft candy's last fair in sheffield...

We had a great day...sheffield is so friendly and so laid back! We loved the mirrored fountain that greets you walking out of the station and we thought that the Millenium Gallery was stunning! Craft Candy did not disappoint, we were loving Elodie G (above) as usual who's naive illustrations has us smiling and cooing, plus I finally saw the prints that Sarah Waterhouse one of the Craft Candy's organisers makes and we were bowled over! Funny! Cut
e! Stylish...awesome!(see below) We especially liked her speech bubble designs but the birdcages are also so pretty!




Plus I got two of dreams fulfilled in one day...by meeting 1) an amazing leather designer and 2) finding some fudge-ice (fudge with coconut ice with it) at the fair.


...Fairwell Craft Candy! Reetsweet is delighted to be continuing your work in Sheffield but honestly, many many people commented on how your fairs will be missed and we can only try to carry on the work you guys have done in bringing craft to sheffield...see you in November Sheffield!


much love

Some of the lovely supporters for Reetsweet also run an amazing art collective in Sheffield - only a short train ride from Leeds! They have regular fairs under the name 'Craft Candy' and have a christmas event coming up...Check here for the details and go have a look at their superb selection of crafters...amazing!

A bit of info from the guys at craft candy...

'Craft Candy organise several quality contemporary Craft Fairs a year in Sheffield. Our Main Fairs are held in Spring, Summer and at Christmas in the Millennium Gallery, a wonderful purpose built gallery space in Sheffield City Centre. We also organise monthly Mini Fairs at Bungalows and Bears, these fairs are a great alternative to Saturday shopping in Sheffield City Centre. All our fairs are free for the public to attend.'
