No visit to a craft event would be complete without a little retail therapy so this post is a bit of a show and tell of items I purchased whilst at the West End Festival. I had a couple of birthdays to buy for and I found some ideal gifts!
A sweet wee lanyard style charm necklace by Eleanor Barron and hand screen printed card by Isabelle Ting (I loved her stuff)
Yet more Isabelle Ting screen printed items..........
a lovely sketchbook and bag.........
Some gorgeous Organic soap and moisturiser by the lovely Miss Ballantyne.........
The packaging and attention to detail is amazing and the products are really lovely! I bought a load and put it by for christmas.
And for myself I bought this sweet birdy necklace by Caroline Temple...............
which makes me smile every time I wear it! I also bought this pin by the very talented Syrah Jay....
The wee cat sold it to me! And last but not least I bought this beautiful handpainted fired glass dish by Carrie Paxton (no link available I'm afraid).............
I love it's simplicity.
Well there you have it - a good time selling and buying in Edinburgh - the best of both worlds.
What a lovely selection Suzanne - lucky recipients! Your gift to you is sweet! I love Caroline Temple's jewellery (her stall was next to mine at the West End Craft Fair - beautiful!).x
