Today I held a stall at the apples and pears and crafty wares fair in Nottingham. The most popular items today were my phone cases and wooden cassette tape brooches. I made a nice sum of money, and also met some other really nice craftsters! I also had a visit from two of my very close University friends, and that was lovely! :) My friend Steve enlightened me today by revealing that once, when I had had a few too many drinks, I told him "There's no party without arty". What wisdom, eh?
As I made a profit, I allowed myself a few treats and brought these lovely items from fellow stall holders.

Strawberries & Cream and Chocolate soap bars from Hearts & Homespun for only £1 each! Based in Derbyshire, they make homemade natural soaps and bodycare products. The company also featured in last months issue of Vogue.

I couldn't resist this beautiful vintage knitting bag (which I think that I will use as a handbag, because I can't knit!). It only cost £4, and I purchased it from a lovely lady named Wendy. She had a wonderful range of vintage fabric, crocheted blankets, teacups and other vintage home wares and bits and pieces. |

We LOVE this cute little reindeer Christmas decoration from Monster Magic. They have a fantastic range of toys and cushions, we wanted it all!
