Made Design and Craft Fair

                            Last friday 18th, I went to Made 11 Brighton's Design 

                         and Craft Fair. Here are two of my purchases BUT I

                                         could have bought EVERYTHING, the standard is incredibly

     high, my shopping included a few gifts

                        (not shown here so there is an element of surprise) ! 

          from Fleur Grenier. Fleur makes beautiful

                                    objects from pewter, which I hope will make some people 

 very happy this coming Christmas. The map lampshade is from Sarah Lock,
Sarah was selling amazing lamps ( or what ever the base is called) to go with
 the lampshades but only the lampshade fell within my budget, I just love it.

 and the wonderful  HENRY is made from recycled
 bits and bobs from Emily Maude.
 I was totally spoilt for choice, there was so much
 wonderful modern craft for sale.
 Leafing through the Open houses magazine
 I noted that both Emily Maude, Sarah Lock and Fleur Grenier
 are showing over the next 3 week ends.
On Sunday 27th November I will be at The Yard, Vintage and Craft
Market, peddling my home wares. Don't be shy say Hello.
Have a great weekend.

The colours this autumn are so wonderful and intense with lots of
shades of orange, I felt inspired to try this orange cake from the Primrose
Bakery Book, a winner ! Simple to make, no expensive or hard to
track down ingredients and totally yummy.
