Cracking crafts

On Saturday I went to Cracking craft fair I had looked forward to it all week and I wasn’t disappointed although it was held in a tiny venue it was packed full of quality stalls and I could have spend hundreds of pounds. However I only took some loosed change and purposefully left my card at home to stop that happening. My OH, who also loves a bit of shopping, bought an amazing hand knitted hat (black wool with a read Mohawk) and a cupcake. I bought a gorgeous vintage scarf that will be showcased in my next OOTD. One of the best things about the event was meeting so many friendly creative people. It really was a great event and there’s going to be another one held in December.


Some of my favourite items included cake stands made out of old records and make up bags made out of vintage swimming caps, lace collars with handmade buttons and a peach jumper with white cats on it. There was also a lot of seasonal gifts and jewellery on offer.

It was a great event and I cant wait to attend more if anyone is interested the next fair is on the 18th of December and the big Super Duper Fair in Blackpool (HERE) is on the 19th of November which is the same night as the christmas lights switch on with "with special guest star recording artist Tinchy Stryder"
Exciting stuff.
Do you like a good craft fair?
