I was very excited to be here and spent a good few hours perusing the stalls, buying a few bits and bobs and making the most of the free tasters in the food section - I didn't need to buy any lunch!
Would you believe that I forgot to go to the cashpoint before I went in?! My heart nearly stopped when I realised I only had just over £10 in my wallet and could see pretty quickly that it might not go very far. Luckily, most of the stalls were equipped to take credit/debit cards but in the end, I only needed to get my card out once as, although there were lots and lots of stalls selling many, many lovely things I did find that there wasn't much I wanted/hadn't seen before. While there were plenty of hand made, original items there was also a lot of "same same" high street fare - Cath Kidston, Gisela Graham, East of India, Susie Watson, so my hard-earned cash stayed in the bank. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my time at the fair and would definitely go again. And, I expect you'd like to see what I came home with:
This robin was my first buy - he was on one of the very first stalls I came across (can't remember the name of it though.)
I picked this lovely little metal tag on the same stall for just 50p - could be used as a tree decoration or a gift tag. Wish I'd bought more now. Always the way, eh?
I thought of DC when I saw these - they combine two of his great loves: tissues and buses. Strange but true.
And these fairy cake cases were a small gift for hubby, who is chief baker in the W household and a great lover of all things Christmas.
And my last purchase of the day was this lovely heart for just 3.50 - bargain!
Nice buys! I bet your hubby had fun too, the cabinet war rooms are fascinating.
