On Saturday myself and Mr B took ourselves off to a nearby town that was hosting this
I thought it would be a good place to find some Christmas gifts.
And, I did buy this
for me
(the pier in my hometown).
And these
for me
(wish I could have afforded the original paper cuts, but love the handmade bag/envelope - going to pinch this idea!)
We then had a stroll around the town and I bought this vintage string dispenser
you've guessed it - for ME!!
Not quite the shopping I was planning, but I came home happy!
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
Yesterday I made some cards for the next craft fair
inspired by the letterpress designs I so love,
and these packs of note cards
And a few more Christmas cards,
my favourites being this
and especially this one
As always, thanks for visiting, reading and commenting.
It means so much to me...

Did our Christmas shopping on-line, all done and dusted, we do this each year. Loving your buys, fatal isn't it you go out to buy something else and come back with shed loads for yourself, my favourite kind of day! Your cards are beautiful by the way, very unusual xx
ReplyDeleteI think I'll probably end up doing the on-line thing in the end, it'll certainly work out less expensive that if I carry on this way!! X
DeleteSounds and looks as though you had a great time! xx
ReplyDeleteA great time was had, just need to add the Christmas shopping bit for others next time!! XX
DeleteWhat a lovely event and I love that string dispenser...I think I need one! Your cards look great too :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely need one! I didn't realise that it also has a slot for scissors - perfect!! XX
DeleteOh how I love your latest cards! I'm gonna have to get me some, they're fantastic! Good things happen when you get inspired, my dear! :) Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteThank you Chrissie. I'm so pleased you like the cards, I always doubt myself when I make something new! XX
DeleteSounds as if you had great fun with your Christmas shopping.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your next craft fayre - the cards look great.
Definitely the best kind of Christmas shopping - at least you know the recipient (me) will like it!! XX
