I am a big huge big fan of summer fairs. there is something about the relaxed atmosphere and the lack of pressure that comes with Christmas fairs when you are having to ponder purchases related to half a dozen people on a teeny tiny even decreasing budget. But summer fairs are all about a bit of everything nd all about the great outdoors and for me at least the very best in ‘you can’t beat Wellington on a good day ‘ vibe
Kicking off the summer fair season is Eat Drink Be Crafty this Saturday January 28th, Battle Hill Farm Forest Park, Paekakariki Hill Rd, 10am -4pm. Last year was its début and it went off like a rocket. For 2012they’ve tweaked the formula a little more with even more gourmet food and wine, craft stalls and things for small people.
Last year parking and traffic was a bit of an issue and while they’ve resolved that for 2012, my suggestion is to arrive early so you can get a jump on all the yummy noms, do some shopping have lunch and a summer nap and then maybe do a little more shopping.
My favourite part of Eat, Drink, be Crafty is their dedication to all things handmade, unlike most summer fairs where you have to find your way through imported stuff, this fair features some of the very best of handmade and artisan crafts.
So if you are in Wellington on Saturday consider your day planned for you

well 2012 is here and the big question i get asked is when does the next Craft2.0 happen
the answer is ‘I don’t know’
I know i will not be running any events in 2012
but somone else may do something with Craft2.0, it may be things that remain core to everything Craft2.0 with my teeny tiny input, or maybe someone will buy Craft2.0
I’m not sure
so if you want to apply for a fair there is nothing happening to apply for
However if you want to keep informed then join the mailing list until then this blog will be a space to promote crafty endeavors, maybe some shop profiles maybe some other things who knows
now that’s a bit exciting the world of the unknown
