Hi Marina - thanks for your comment on Birthday Boy. Sorry that I didn't get to Elaine's fair. I was really disappointed because I had to cancel as we were double booked with a two day fair of G's. And now I'm unexpectedly in Australia visiting and helping out with family over here so had to cancel another two fairs. But I shall be at North Cadbury in November - never fear!Cx
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment. It looks like it was a fantastic day I have been viewing all the photo's etc on facebook :-) dee x
ReplyDeleteLovely post of a great day. Lizzie x
