I'm keeping my fingers crossed, Fiona, that my Virgin Engineer (no jokes please!) turns up early on Sat so I can make it along. I thoroughly enjoyed the last one.

Will you have more of the red spotty necklaces?

Snap! I got a pair of the 'rose' earrings in pale pink and some plain silver earrings from here.

I was also quite taken by some of the carved wooden bowls at a neighbouring stall but resisted the temptation.

I was sorely tempted by those other two as well. What exquisite taste we both have :P .

Glad you had a nice day.
I found it a bit crowded but lots of great stuff. Had Mr Soupy watching over my shoulder so we didn't buy anything but perhaps nearer Christmas...?

Craft Fair was excellent.

I got a really cute evening bag with a flower on it and a beautiful B&W mounted photograph of inside Dalriada garden looking out - its by Lisa Baptie. :D

(Definitely competition for our Wangi)

Craft Fair was good, there were some lovely things.
No food stalls though Morag - just what was needed though. Your yummy chocs would go down a treat.

I am really glad I went to the fair, as I found hottie covers for £5 each. I've been looking hottie covers for a while but the prices were ridiculous (£22!! :shock:).

So I'm a happy Poppy now. I also met Teddygirl which was nice too!!

Yes, Poppy it was nice meeting you too, haven't had a proper natter with you for a while.

I had a nice time at the fair, went looking for some Christmas presents and bought myself two pairs of ear-rings and a couple of other wee nick nacks(for myself too).
Loved some of the knitwear and a very nice lady on one of the stalls told me how to do some of the things myself and where her favourite wool shop is so I'll be off on the hunt soon :lol:
