Christmas in July e e e e e e

• From now until 25 July, all through Etsy land, there are sellers giving discounts, free shipping or cutting the prices on a huge selection of wonderful items. Now would be a great time to get some bargains for putting under the Christmas tree.
• If you are one of the sellers, add your details in the Comments below. I have both discounts and free shipping worldwide on a selection of items in my shop www.huggleknits.etsy.com

And Finally........
Does anyone have any information about the Bazaar held in Airfield Farm, Dundrum in Dublin on the last Saturday each month????
It is advertised as a vintage market - - do any of our Vintage crafters sell there?
It looks like it could be interesting. If it is on this weekend, you get to it and it looks good, could you let me know and we can include it in the diary.

Big thanks to all of this weeks reporters.
Cheers

Just in! Calling all Cork and Munster Etsians!

Have you heard about this great opportunity?

It's short notice but sounds like it could be brilliant...

"Bazaar On The Boardwalk"
7th, 8th, 9th and 10th July 2010 and every Saturday Thereafter!
Location – Lapp’s Quay Boardwalk

We are opening a vintage bazaar on Lapp’s Quay Boardwalk very soon…
This market is accepting applications IMMEDIATELY as we have decided to take the opportunity to launch it early as the Cork Clipper Stopover is all happening across the bridge from where the Bazaar will take place!

They are expecting 80,000 visitors to the area over the three days and you can’t get there without passing by us!

We are looking for curios, vintage clothing, antiques, rarities, jewellry, hand –made crafts, unusual items, books and other lovely interesting things which you can suggest to us!

This week the market will run from 3pm-9pm on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday and on the regular Saturday Market, it will run from 10am-4pm.

I need to know by this FRIDAY if you wish to take part – we will need confirmation of participation for at least four weeks!

Pitches are a special introductory offer of 45 euros per day and should be payable to Goldiefish Events!

Please fill out the application* in detail – especially the PR stuff as that will go into our marketing campaign.

This is an outdoor market so you will need to bring along your own tents, tables etc. Over time if this is a roaring success – (which it will be) we may be able to invest in some covering.
We need a commitment of four weeks from everyone on this.
Please also spread the word as we are really looking for this to work and the more involved the merrier!

When sending the application can you include – Form, Insurance, Payment please.

Please email all enquiries to bazaarcork [!at] gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Rose-Anne Kidney
