Yesterday we had a lovely day out in Winchester so that I could get to the Handm@de craft fair being held at the Guildhall. It was a fantastic event, and I’m glad I set a limit before I went in as it could have been very easy to spend a lot of money!
There was such a wide range of crafts represented, from jewellery to soaps to photographs to stuffed toys, and just about everything in between! I tried to buy some small items from as many stalls as possible to try to bring home a good selection and support a lot of artists! Here are some of my goodies…
Greeting gards from Joan Stewart and paperleaf, and postcards from Joe Hurry and Julia Davey.
Very funky pup keyring from Laurie Redman
Lovely ceramic buttons (I could have bought hundreds of these!) from Karen Turner and Penny Spooner
I love owls. I especially love embroidered owls with cute little heart buttons and bead dangles! From meninafeliz
These ladies had just about my favourite stall of the day, although there were so many I loved it’s hard to say that! But something about this table really draws you in, and the detailed little pieces like my owl were beautiful.
Another thing I loved about the fair was that so many people were using moo cards as business cards! They are really cute and I think I’ll have to get myself some.
After a good hour and a half wandering around the guildhall,we found a nice little pub with a lovely beer garden to sit in.
Even better, they had a little outdoor pool room with a television so we could watch the amazing Wimbledon final.
We ended up having to eat here because we couldn’t leave before the match was over! Nail-biting stuff.
Hope you had a lovely weekend too!
