Before i go here's a pic of me and my handmade crafts stall (My first time ) LOL!

Not a lot of people turned up but i did manage to sell a few bits and pieces.

The market is held to raise money for youngsters who have nothing and if the Tories get there way there will be even less for them. 

The organisation is called H.Y.P.E Charity (helping young people excel) so a very good cause and i'm donating a percentage of my sales to Cancer charities also.

The next market will be held on the 26th October 

at 

Unit 12 Ennerdale Road

Riverside Business Park

Blyth

Northumberland

NE24 4RT

If anyone is in the area please come along.

Doors open 9am for sellers and 10am for buyers.

Thanks for looking!
