Well, we survived it at least! Last Friday I dragged my poor suffering brother around this year's Country Living Christmas Fair at Islington Design Centre. There was so much to see it was mind boggling!
hundreds of stalls full to the brim with gorgeousness.
and it was such a thrill to find some products from some people we know and love, this wonderful Christmas card from Michele at Cowboys & Custard for instance.
However, saying all that I don't think I shall be going again. There were so many people rammed in there, women on such a Christmas mission that you had to have all your wits about you just to stay on your toes at some stands! And the atmosphere was not as I had expected. It was not very Christmassy, it was more commercial consumer madness! Having said that, there were some truly beautiful things to be seen, and I did get to spend the whole day with my lovely brother, sipping tea and scoffing cake, oh and of course trying out all the Christmas wines and whiskies in the food hall, which made the journey home a lot easier!
Where I got on with this...
And then we had this birthday tea for Migs who turned 40 on Sunday, with all handmade cakes and scones and full fat clotted cream :(
All in all it was a very very jolly weekend!
Now I better get on and do some work!
