I feel love for the first time and I know that it's true, I can tell by the look in your eyes...

Hello!

I visited thecountryliving Fair at Islington, London for the first time yesterday.
Just in case you have never been, here are a few pics...
Met up with friend Jacquie (Kittys).  
Here is the lovely lady herself, in front of her stand.


Totally in love with the original 50's/60's kitchen cabinets,
sold the first day!
Another lovely lady janconstantine  and her fabulous embroidered cushions and hangings.


Gorgeous, gorgeous things to buy...as you would expect.

Views across the fair...


 A really great day.
Jacquie is now on her way to have a stand at the Glasgow Country Living Fair.
I don't know how she does it, as my legs were having trouble coping with a one day visit!
I suppose I spend too much time on my honed and toned, dimple free derriere
(ahem, well I can dream),
making the likes of these ...






All made with beautiful handmade fabrics, Liberty Lawns and vtg materials.
Have a great week...
Thank you so much for stopping by. x

I'll definitely have to visit the fair next year, it looks right up my street! Loving those little zip up purses, they're gorgeous.

Pity I don't still live in London :( This is when you have to have a vast amount of cash, can you imagine it? How much you would buy (sigh) xx

Woodwitch said...

Ah I'm jealous what a show to visit. It must have been eye candy to die for - thanks for making us all jealous - I mean inspired!

Couldn't go this year because of Elsie the dog, but it doesn't look too crowded for a Sunday.

Love the expression of the dog on the box. He's just so clever for getting up there. xx
