Craft Stall at Northampton Vintage & Handmade Fair

Here are a few pics of me setting up my stall on Saturday... It was such a beautiful sunny day and it really felt like Spring was almost here(!)

It was also really lovely to meet some fellow crafts sellers / bloggers in person - in particular Annie aka The Felt Fairy and her daughter Amy of Blighty Boutique who had some really fab vintage pieces on her stall.

Then there was Sharon from Clover Cottage / Shabby Polka Dots who took some great pictures too(!) and I managed to pick up some gorgeous fabric from Ticking Stripes - watch this space for new items made with this...
