Welcome to Bright May!
May has arrived, and with it, the promise of warmer days and even more colour in our gardens. It is a wonderful time of year to feel inspired by nature, and here at The Craft Box, we are certainly making the most of the brighter mornings and the fresh energy that this month brings!
Spotlight on Special Days
May is full of reasons to get creative. Here are a few dates to keep in mind:
1st May: May Day – The traditional start of the summer season! It is a lovely excuse to start a new project with a floral or spring theme.
12th May: National Limerick Day – A bit of fun for the writers and card-makers out there. Why not try writing a cheeky verse inside one of your handmade cards this month?
20th May: World Bee Day – We love a bee-themed craft! To celebrate our busy garden visitors, we have launched our seed starter kits online—perfect for growing your own bee-friendly blooms at home.
25th May: Spring Bank Holiday – The perfect long weekend to finally finish that craft kit you have been tucking away for a rainy day (though we are hoping for sunshine!).
Summer Craft Fair Update
Following on from our April update, we are delighted to announce that our summer schedule is starting to take shape!
We have just confirmed that The Craft Box will be at the Queen’s Park Food Festival on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June. We are still busy finalising exactly where we will be heading with our stalls for the rest of June and July, but the diary is filling up fast.
Thank you for your patience—you can now find the first of our confirmed summer dates on our Craft Fair Calendar, and we will be adding more locations very soon!
Fresh Designs Online
Our Blind Date with a Book sets have been flying off the virtual shelves since their launch in April! If you haven’t secured your mystery read yet, keep an eye on the website as we continue to add new titles and genres to the collection.
