Craft Fair Goodies

I Sneaked off to a craft fair at Westpoint Exeter yesterday, and found a lot of bargains as well as my usual favourites from Stef Francis and Ario, quite a few of the stalls were selling things off, charms paper packs and embellishments for a £1 a packet, could have spent loads more if i had had any more money on me, not a lot else to tell you about the fair, there wasn't as many stalls or as many people as usual. although it was quite busy, there was gallery of paintings and some textile art, some really lovely artwork
catch up with you all soon
