100% handmade, ilkley

Today, S and I visited Ilkley for the 100% handmade Designer Maker Fair which I found out about through dear emma designs' tweets. There were a fair (see what I did there?) number of stalls present and, as I've come to expect, many impressive wares to admire. My favourites are pictured below.

{Cathy with her designs. If you're wondering about
the name "Dear Emma", both her best friends are called Emma.}

{here's the fabric bowl I couldn't bear to leave without. Though it's unusual for me to buy things
I can make for myself, Cathy's bowls are so well made I simply couldn't resist.}

{i snagged a fab bag pattern that i can't wait to make}

{Sarah of felt beautiful with her bags, purses and cards }

{alison of alison young jewellery had some truly stunning and unique pieces}

'twas a lovely way to spend a day!

Tomorrow, S and I will witness the christening of two little cuties before heading back to their home for a hog roast! i LOVE a hog roast! This weekend cannot possibly get any better!

have a good one folks ;-)
