Another Sunday evening is here and I'm once again asking where my weekend has gone!
Ok, ok I know where my weekend has gone... on Vintage & Handmade goodness!
Saturday Kelly & I made our trip to THE Vintage & Handmade Fair in Chipping Sodbury (what a picturesque town might I add!) following an indulgent 3 course dinner at our hotel Friday evening (well deserved after the very wet and windy drive up!!)
It was fantastic to meet friends old and new and finally put faces to names who I spend so much time with in blogland. As expected everyone was lovely and the goods on offer superb, my purse was significantly lighter on leaving.... would you like to see what I brought?
I spied these trays walking into the fair and snapped them up straight away...
and of course there's Harold! I spied him on Hen's blog a few posts ago and once we'd met in person I couldn't possibly resist his charm and had to invite him home with me
I'm rather excited about moving into my own flat after Christmas and have spent a lot of time talking about the "dining room" I have planned (sorry for going on Kel!) and these cushion accompany my vision perfectly!
Never one to resist a notebook...
and the accompanying card will be framed for my Winter decor
I love anything with candy canes so this card was another must and the badges too cute to resist
You will no doubt have caught up with everyone's posts from the fair but you can read more about it here, here, here and here roll on May 2010!

It was lovely to meet you both...but a pity that it was so busy that we didn't have much time to chat. Glad you enjoyed it & see you next time!

So pleased you could both make it to the fair and that you enjoyed yourselves. Lovely choice of purchases.. I would have chosen those Santa plates myself..
Hope to see you at the next fair.

Oh you must have had a great time over there! Love what you bought! Have a great start of the week!
Hi Victoria,
So pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip, especially after battling the horrendous weather. What a haul you have there, the cushions are lovely and I look forward to seeing them in situ. Thanks so much for coming to say hello, the day is so much nicer when it has the personal touch of meeting up with people you "know". Thanks for giving Harold a home - though the Munchkin wasn't impressed!

What lovely goodies you got from the fair, even though it was too far away for me to go I don't feel like I missed out too much by seeing all the photos everyone took of all the stalls. Now if only my purse and shopping list had been there....well...I'd be a real happy bunny!!! Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. Lucey xx
All I can say is that you have a great taste! Love all your bits!
oh it all looks lovely, i wish i could have come, cant wait top see what you do with your flat after christmas, good luck with the move! fliss xx
What great goodies. I couldn't make it unfortunately - roll on next year!

I'm still slightly jealous about Harold! You spoke to him more than me on the way home!
Lovely goodies!!

Looks like you had a most fun-packed weekend! Loving the purchases! xxx
I love your goodies!!!! They are fab! xxx
It was great to meet you amongst the crush - I do love the things you have bought. I had an escort to keep me on the straight and narrow, so I was quite restrained, but I did manage to buy one or two rather nice goodies! Hope your journey home wasn't too bad - I am just looking forward to the next one now!

I'm liking the notebooks! Candy canes are great - I found a pack of twenty little ones at Cargo last year, they looked great on the tree, and I gave them with Christmas cards.
