Firstly me and hubby went for a trip up to London. I wanted to go to Camden market as its been a long while since i last went, and i love the place and have been going since i was a teenager (so thats been a little while now!)
Next we ventured to the centre of town, to check out the christmas lights around oxford/regent streets.
Not as impressive as they used to be (am i showing my age again!) but still bright n sparkly. I couldnt pass by without stepping into Libertys, i think Hubby was a bit stunned at the prices, but i had to check out the haberdashery department, but all i could afford to do was just stroke a few of the Rowan yarns!!
I also HAD to pop into Zaras as its my fave clothes shop and we dont have one in our local town, and i had to treat myself to a t-shirt of course! We also couldnt resist stepping into Hamleys. Its a bit of mad world in there, its a total theatre and hits all your senses, but great fun! We carried on to piccadily and ended up in Leicester square where we ended the night in a cosy Italian restaurant...
My second trip out was to a local craft fair near Guildford. Neither of us had been before so didnt know what to expect. We enjoyed it, but could have been to alot better, and quite frankly i think it was a bit costly to get in for the size of it! Dont think its exactly going to encourage every-day-people to be a part of the craft world, putting a high price tag on it just make it for the elite, which i dont agree with. After the show, we went on to Godalming, which ive never visited before. We had a trawl round all of the charity shops, and ended up in a lovely little art shop, which was a right little treasure trove of craft goodies.......
