MET SOME LOVELY PEOPLE.......




ANTIQUE TEXTILE FAIR 
 Mandy & Samantha Baker who were selling antique costumes had really dressed for the occasion and they had some lovely things on display. 
  The whole day was buzzing, there is always plenty to see and buy.
This is one half of the main hall.  It was hard not to be tempted by all the lovely laces, buttons, fabrics, clothes, bedspreads, bags, haberdashery etc.
My friends  MAVIS BENTLEY and BARBARA JEPSON  who I shared
a stall with.  We were on the upper floor of the hall along with the graduates, Textile Society, Embroiderers Guild, Crochet & Knitting Society and many others.
Hellish Designs stall
It was nice to see Heather Lawson again of HELLISH DESIGNS  when I went to pick up my two new lamps from her.  .
This stall had some great retro fabrics
 It was a great day out, met some nice people and chatted with friends who called as well.
Even the Doodly Birds enjoyed their outing and some of them are now happily perched in their new homes.
