Good morning crafters. We are just finishing setting up for our final craft destash of the year. So many sellers with all their unwanted craft supplies that the photos below don’t do any justice! We are open until 11.30am so don’t miss out.

If any of you are looking for events to sell at this Christmas, with the items you make, then they have just advertised this event is needing stallholders. Please contact them direct via the email on the photo below. Thank you

This Saturday it is our last craft destash sale for 2024! Don’t worry we will be back again in 2025 but not for a few months.
That means if you need to buy your cheaper craft supplies then this weekend is your last chance for a few months.
We have a full room of sellers selling so many craft supplies they no longer require, including:
Paper
Cardboard
Dies
Embossing folders
Fabric
Christmas themed items
Haberdashery
Card kits
A large variety of items from Hobbycraft (being sold by the local Charity Amelia’s Rainbow to raise vital funds for the charity)
Plus so much more.

All our events are free to enter but if you have any loose change for our chosen charity, Waifs and Strays Cat Rescue Dorset then we would be very grateful.

There is parking on site and neighbouring roads and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

Dates for 2025 will be out in November but in the meantime we look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

We had another busy destash sale at Canford Heath Community Centre last Saturday and lots of people asked if we will be holding more destash sales next year.

The good news is that yes we will be and I will announce the dates over the coming weeks.

In the meantime our last sale of 2024 is on Saturday 2nd November in Charminster. I think we are fully booked (just need to clarify with some people who have expressed an interest on Saturday) but do contact me if you would like a table and I will let you know what availability I still have.

Can’t wait to see you all on the 2nd ☺️

Hi 👋 I hope you all had a lovely summer, even though the weather didn’t know what it as supposed to do!!

We have only 3 destash sales left for this year, details in the photo below. For those of you who have craft supplies to sell, we only have a couple of spaces left for September so if you would like to do this one then please let me know asap. We still have availability on the October and November dates.

For those looking to buy September is usually the start of people selling the Christmas supplies they no longer require, so a great way to get the items you need to start making those Christmas gifts!

We look forward to seeing you all back on the 21st September. ☺️

Hi how is everyone’s summer going? In the mix of occupying my son and working I also have had a lovely week away on a cruise on the P&O Iona to the Norwegian Fjords. I will tell you more in a few days!!

Tonight I wanted to share something else with you and something I’m sure all you cross stitch crafters will love too!

The local artist, Wendy Brown, creates amazing art work of our local area in a creative and ‘wonky’ way!! I have been a great admirer of her work for a long time and recently commented on one of her posts suggesting they would make great cross stitch kits. She messaged back telling me ‘to watch this space’!! Tonight she has just announced one of her artworks has been created into a cross stitch kit by Bothy Threads ☺️

What a fantastic achievement for Wendy and how exciting. I, for one, will be buying this kit!! Hopefully, if they sell well, Bothy Threads will commission more of her artwork. I would love to do one of her streets!!

The link to buy it is:

The second picture below is Wendy’s artwork of Wimborne Minster 😍

Well done Wendy 👏🤩

I love it when our destash customers share the lovely items they have made from their purchases at our destash sales. One very talented customer has recently made this gorgeous jumpsuit from fabric she bought and crochet, with paper yarn, this gorgeous bag using leather she had bought at Saturdays destash.
Thank you Bernie for letting me share photos of your lovely makes.

Have you made anything with the items you have bought at our destash sales? If so please share in the comments below. We would love to see what our unused craft supplies get turned into 😍
