“It’s always nice to be able to talk to people about my button pictures and how it all began.
“I got two orders and lots of leaflets were taken with talk of new babies and weddings so fingers crossed for future orders,” she added.

Bridget Lewis, from Card Crush Greetings, also had a stall at the event. She said: “This is the first time that I have done the Jordans Mill Fayre and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
“As an online business, this was a fantastic opportunity for me to display the products I sell and see the reactions of people viewing my stall. It was also a great opportunity to meet and chat with other local businesses.
