clever people and beautiful things...

The great thing about going to Christmas Markets is seeing all the fabulous things that people make and sell. The rest of the year, they're beavering away but you don't get to see them, unless you know where to find them.

So at yesterday's Winterbourne Christmas Market it was a pleasure to meet Laurie who makes fantastic hats. We had a ball trying them all on, admiring some of the results and laughing at others, giving each other advice on which looked best and which to buy. Here's Laurie and you can find her at: http://www.fuzzpotlane.co.uk/

And here's Nadia with her wonderful handmade jewellery using stones from Brazil and other countries. You can find Nadia at: http://nbjewellerycreations.wordpress.com/ :

We all went home with hats, having made more new friends. The hat's already turned out to be a good buy - today it's -5C and the weather forecast says it's going to be cold all week. Thanks to Laurie for keeping my ears warm!
