Calling all artists and crafts people

We can't wait for Spring and the prospect of renewal, growth and new partnerships that come with it!
Also we can throw the doors open and branch out and make use of our beautiful garden.
Our successful Monthly Shop Garden Craft Market is now in it's second year and after much thought and reflection we've decided to start it all up again with the help of our friends the "East London Craft Guerrilla".
Each month (dates yet to be confirmed) we will host our Craft Market in association with the "East London Craft Guerrilla". A veritable craft army with products ranging from Art, Illustration, hand made goods, recycled jewellery, children's clothing, hand made soaps and cosmetics, ladies and men's fashion etc.
Our aim is to start in April so pencil it in your diary and check the blog page for updates!
The "East London Craft Guerrilla " are currently recruiting members. You don't have to join to rent a stall but your participation will be left to the discretion of our guest co-organizers.
You can contact the "East London Craft Guerrilla" for further details via email.
Please note that the "East London Craft Guerrilla" operate a strict vetting procedure so if you haven't sold your stock previously in the shop or in the Beautiful Interiors craft market please e mail a few jpgs of your wares or supply a web site address so we can have a look at what you do.
This is so the high quality standard is maintained for everyone involved.
If your application has been successful then we'll send you the details, terms and conditions of the "Beautiful Interiors/East London Craft Guerrilla" Craft Market.
Our only criteria is that everything you sell must be designed and made by yourself so no mass produced tat!
Apart from taking advantage of our huge customer base you will be able to sell your wares in a well respected, renown and established shop in a very busy,vibrant part of Walthamstow in the company of other talented artists and crafts people.
For more information please e mail me and make the message subject: FAO PFBI Craft Market.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards.
