....well my friends...
...it certainly didn't disappoint....
..i hope you're sitting comfortably
because there is so much to
show and tell.....
...the sun was shining and the setting was idyllic....
...the fair was organised by
whose beautiful books and embroidery
have long been favourites of mine...
..we headed straight for caroline's stall
where we spotted these gorgeous dogs
...we bought caroline's new book
which she kindly signed for us....
...and excitedly bought some
'bags of inspiration'....
...gorgeous bags filled with hand picked items
from carolines' own collection of
fabrics, ribbons, buttons,
and even examples of her own work...
...unfinished projects...
***
...they were so exciting to unpack..
..as you really didn't know what treasure you would find inside!
...it was very difficult to keep focused..
...because EVERY stall was gorgeous...
..i was particularly excited to meet
...her stall was brimming with lovely things..
...but it was the bunny that got squirrelled!
(love him!!!)

....i even had to go back
just to make sure i hadn't missed anything the first time....
(which of course i had!!!)

....this fabulous stall belonged to
....where i bought a couple of pretty aprons
and chatted to liz...
..a true fabric expert
and fellow west country blogger!

where my mum bought my littlest squirrel this cute liberty print blouse...
(we both wanted one of the jumpers!!)
..another little bag of inspiration from
somerset based 'poacher's pocket'...
