It was a lovely day....

on Saturday 11 December at the Ilkley Art Market. We had 18 stalls of handmade goodies including ceramics, jewellery, textiles, photography, rag rugs, soft toys, original art, papercrafts and fimo. We would like to thank everyone who took part and gave the market such a positive and lively atmosphere.



We would also like to thank Moor Notes Community Choir for giving us a lunchtime boost by singing carols both outside and inside the venue.  They were enjoyed by both traders and visitors and sang beautifully. 
What's that they are reading in this picture? I hear you ask. Well it is the Folksy Sampler, a free newspaper packed with handmade crafts.  Below are some of our regular traders also enjoying a good read.

If you want to see more people reading the Folksy Sampler (and who wouldn't?) just go to our Facebook Page by clicking on the LINK HERE.  

The winner of our best dressed stall competition was Kirsten from Quernus Crafts. Well done Kirsten! She wins a free stall at one of our events in 2011. We will be holding more promotional competitions for our traders next year. 

We will be back soon to tell you about our plans for 2011, including our exciting new venture, Hand Made at Haworth. Meanwhile, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
