YIPPEE!!!!!! It's almost Christmasssssss!!!!! That also means our craft fair marathon is over! It's a mixture of sadness and relief... I thought it had been over 2 months but apparently we have done 11 fairs in Brighton and London AND an open house exhibition in the space of 6 weeks! EEK. After the madness of Christmas has passed we'll do a proper blog post about our adventures in 2012, but for now here's a little catch up from our last Spitalfields and Craftaganza, which was IN-CRED-IBLE. Annnnd amazing folk at Craftaganza...(lots missed out cos I forgot to take photos on Saturday!) AMAZING business I Like Cats.....so in love with EVERYTHING Toby makes! One to watch!! Ladybird Likes Amazing jewellery from Vienna Horses Gorgeous illustration and papercuts from Beetle Cherry AMAZING jewellery from Rock Cakes Magical work by Mooshpie! Another ROARball bought from Designosaur!
Phew! These last couple of months have literally flown by! We've been so busy doing fairs in either Brighton or London every weekend for what seems like forever now. It's been loads of fun and completely exhausting...we are quite looking forward to some down time in January! Tomorrow we shall be in Old Spitalfields market in East London. It's also the very last weekend of AT Open House which if you haven't already been to and you're in Brighton this weekend we HIGHLY recommend popping in! Not only is there an unbelievable array of diverse talent packed in to this beautiful warm and welcoming house there is also amazing cake! April and Tim are the lovely house owners and you couldn't ask for friendlier hosts. We shall be there 12pm-6pm on Sunday so come along for a cuppa and find some unique gifts and seriously affordable artwork. We shall be buying things ourselves! :o) Here's a little taste of what you'll find other than hello DODO...
