London Scandinavian Christmas Market 2018
I thought this year as well as being a seller at the Scandi Market id share my personal experience from both sides of the makers Table, so you can see what it was like to visit the fair and what delights unfortunately you missed this year!!
Being a Maker in a Heat Wave
Having had a great year last year at the Christmas Scandi Market in London and selling out on day two I wanted to get ahead of my self for 2018, not only to be able to physically make more stock but I would have another little Baker arriving in late September, so my hands would be fuller >read blog post about my christmas fair . I gained a lot of knowledge and insight into the designing, trial and error, making process and quantities but also of what people liked and what sold out from last year and thus I set about planning in June, yes the start of summer and the hottest weather we’d had in many years.

Scandi Twist Baby Shower
In recent years baby showers have become a popular way to celebrate the soon arrival of a little one and a nice way for the mum-to-be to see all her friends an family before her due date. I know that i have had alot over the past few years and often we’ve shared games, gift ideas and present from one shower to the next.
But these types of events can be overwhelming and Im sure im not alone in feeling, that events like this, where you are the centre of attention are not something i particular enjoy, but i do love the gathering and the party type feel of it. With the soon arrival of baby Baker number two, i was faced with wanting to see friends and family but in a more relaxed way. With the gorgeous sunshine we have been having, i crossed my fingers that if i was to have a garden party it wouldn’t rain!! but as always i never make it straight forward, i like things with a taste of Norwegian, so heres how i did a DIY, budget baby shower with a scandi feel.
My little taste of Norway
The 17th of May, commemorating the signing of the constitution on that date in 1814. In Norway, the Constitution Day is huge. Its a celebration, a party for everyone, and especially the children. Marching bands, traditional costumes, parades, people waving flags and shouting “hurra!” and yummy food. To mark this traditional occasion I wanted to bring a little taste of Norway to Staplehurst, Kent once again and share some makes and bakes from my heritage. I am fortunate to be part of a makers shop in the main high street which has the most wonderful collection of Kent home grown talent “Made by Kent”, I am luckily enough to be able to do a feature week, show casing some Norwegian favourites which I often sell at Christmas but also some new items created especially for this event.
