I decided to surprise the lovely Donna on her stand at the Dairy House Textile Fair on Sunday.
I drove all the way to Dorset and it was worth it to see her face and the lovely Aileen, along with of course a whole array of fantastic fabrics. It was like a big sweetshop. I've known Donna for quite a few years now and she is brilliant.
The fair was amazing, with such quality and the wonderful Sue was in on the secret and looked after me and gave me lunch. I had a really fantastic day. It's one of the nicest days I have had for a while.Unfortunately I am broke, so whilst I could have spent thousands, it took great self discipline to not buy anything at all - that was a bit difficult, but my pleasure came from seeing Donna and Aileen, meeting Sue and also saying hello to Lizzie again.
I am so pleased that I will be at the Vintage and Handmade Textile Fair on 3rd July with a stall of my own, which I will be doing with Barb, who makes up 'WoOBaRb' with me. We will be selling an array of handmade goodies made with love and vintage fabrics.
But before that I will be at Donna's Open House Sale in May, lending a hand so I hope to meet some more lovely people then.
