Today I went off on my annual jaunt to the Country Living Spring Fair in Islington, London. I thought that the £15.00 entry fee was a bit steep but I did get a goody bag including the above items.
I also got a couple of good catalogues.........................
...............a free cotton bag and two wonderful catalogues from a company I haven't heard of before. One was ethical clothing and the other was home wares.
I love this painting on the front cover.
Lots of lovely, colourful cushions inside.
Inspirational, outdoor scenes.
Fresh cool colours.
More lovely pictures to look at.
I didn't buy much at the fair. I was drawn to these printed cards by Sharon Blackman though. She makes lovely textile pictures from recycled fabrics.
I also bought these teeny weeny cookie cutter beads.
Here's a rather blurry shot to show just how small they are.
I thought these 100% cotton tea towels were a bargain at £10.00 for 3 packs of three.
They are generous in size as you can see here.
I may make an apron with one or two of them!
You can even use the webbing tape that is part of the packaging to make the apron 'strings' with!
Look! They are even big enough to make a full length apron!
Another apron shot taken artistically by my son (who I made quit his computer game in order to take the photos.)
Here the tea towel is folded over in half with the webbing tape placed between. I think there are loads of possibilities with these tea towels. They definitely were my bargain of the day.
