Preparing for Lacock Cloisters Fair







It's only a couple of weeks until the Lacock Cloisters Christmas Fair where I have a stall and I'm busy finishing various projects to take with me. The sewing room looks like a bomb has gone off...a pretty bomb! I'm making some wired ribbon flowers that I learnt how to create with Tina at 'Bea and Evie' in Frome (see the link at the bottom of the page). Some I'm keeping as corsages and some I've made into little hairclips so hopefully they'll go down well.

Vintage and Handmade Fair Rangeworthy




What a superb fair today, although my husband may not agree due to the amount of money I spent! I've tried to convince him that it was completely necessary...and for the moment I think I'm in the clear. I've finally plucked up the courage to start my own blog after chatting with the lovely lady from 'The Vintage Magpie' stall (thanks). She has the most wonderful stuffed animals and I have brought 'Holly' the rabbit home today along with a very glamorous doll called Pippa from 'A Little Bit Vintage' named after the makers best friend. Eleanor wore her favourite blue cloche today and managed not to lose it! Shopping is a very arduous task so we all stopped for a delicious homemade cake and a cup of tea. Thanks to all involved and hopefully I'll be at the next one with a stall of my own.
