All the fun of the fair....

On Saturday I was off to Wanstead, East London to do a vintage fair, David couldn't make it that day so I took my cousin Tina instead.  So off we went at 5:30am fully equipt with a borrowed SatNav, how fantastic are they!!!!!????? I have never used one but hey I did'nt get lost once and for me that's a miracle.

This weekend I am off the Bournemouth, with David this time, to do a vintage fair in the Pavilion.  I haven't done this one before but apparently it's fab, so if you are near Bournemouth on Sunday 12th December 10am-4pm, why not call by and say hello. x

A Problem Shared

Am I really sad or just obsessed???!!!!!  I spend every spare moment either knitting, crocheting or creating something out of nothing. My husband says I can't just sit still and relax, but this IS how I relax......I can't just sit and do nothing, what a waste of time. I am sure most of you feel the same way as I do.
However, this is possibly where the problems begin. When I go out I just want to be back at home knitting etc....so much so that I seem to want to rush home and create.
Oh no do I have a problem????!!!!!

Look where I'm going...

I really can't wait to go to the Knit and Stitch Show on Friday.  I will be going with my Aunty Dilys as I did last year and it was fab.  We always choose the Friday as Thursday is full of textile students and the weekend is manic.
I have been frequenting the show for several years now and it is the highlight of my year on the run up to christmas.  Packed full of ideas and inspiration, hey, may even see you there!!!????

Oh what a very special purchase.....

I so love the kitchness of this most wonderful bust.  Madonna and child have pride of place in my sitting room, I have had mixed reactions to this most beautiful treasure......Their faces are serene and when I look at them I feel happy.

Didn't we have a lovely time......Southwold

the most beautiful place on a warm sunny day....

I have just spent the most wonderful weekend with 19 dear friends at the seaside.  We took over the garden behind the Swan and stayed in the Lighthouse rooms, which I would thoroughly recommend, in fact we have booked again for next year.

We are all friends with thanks to Jolie in Walkern, where we knit and chat and put the world to rights.

Work in progress.....a crocheted cushion.

I did manage to get some knitting done during the course of the weekend and was going for the medal on who did the most knitting, I think I won!!!!

Ooooooh look, I could have done a Shirley Valentine in Suffolk.

Vintage Fair

We so enjoyed the Vintage Fair last Sunday in Hitchin, the picture above is my stall at the Vintage Fair in Harpenden in May.......unfortunately the pictures taken on Sunday are a bit of a blur, but I will share them with you anyway.

Once I figure out how, I will be opening a blog shop......any advice would be more than welcome.

My next Vintage Fair will be on September 12th in Berkampsted.
