NEXT WEEKEND see the V&H FAIR in another DIMENSION...

Next Saturday (14Th November), I will be going to the V&H Fair with Alan and Miss P. Youpi!... If you haven't been there before, it really is worth the day out. It will be the perfect place do to some Christmas shopping and to treat yourself, as well as meet fellow bloggers. You will NOT be disappointed!

Michele & Jayne (the organisers of this fair), have kindly agreed for Alan to photograph the event in 3d.

SO, DIG OUT YOUR 3D GLASSES (red & cyan) as next weekend, I will be doing a post of the V&H fair in 3d. For those of you who can't make it there, it will be just as if you were there. Well... almost!

If you wish to buy a pair of 3d glasses, please email me at suzysvintageattic@gmail.com
Cost: £1 each p&p INCLUDED (UK only)

For those of you who are not all that familiar with 3d photography see photos below or click HERE for some examples. All photos taken by Alan (www.somerset3d.co.uk)

You will need to click on the photo to enlarge it and will require the 3d glasses to get the 3d effect. Take a few seconds to let your eyes adjust to the photo as at first you may not get the 3d effect.

An un-expected blogging break!

Hello!

After an absence of almost 3 weeks, I am back again. Computer & Internet problems have been the main cause. I have also been extremely busy generally. I have changed computer and am up and running again. I was going to feature The Vintage and Handmade Fair after having taken several photos of the lovely events but that evening is when all the troubles started.

I had a fantastic time there, it was so nice to meet some fellow bloggers for the first time and others whom I have met before. Here are some of the gorgeous things that I brought back home with me.

Knitting bag from Amanda (Shabby Chic -Totnes market)

Plate from Lucy Bloom and cup mauve tea set x 4 from The Vintage Magpie


Pink embroidered cushion from Amanda (Shabby Chick)

The two gorgeous bunnies from the The Vintage Magpie

The green coat hanger from HenHouse

Decorative picture with 2 girls from Sal's Snippets

Vintage dress from Liz The Washerwoman

I finally placed my order with Cath Kidston using the Easy Living Magazine discount and here are some of the goodies.

Tablecloth and two pillowcases

Plates, bowls, jug, pink (not shown) and blue glasses


Two more pillowcases (As if I didn't have enough... I am a bit like Posy when it comes to pillowcases)

During these past couple of weeks, I have started learning how to do crochet at Marmalade Yarns in Frome. They run courses, mine started 2 weeks ago and runs for 5 weeks (1.5 hours a week). I have had 2 lessons so far and love it!

Inspired by Attic24, Julia Crossland, HenHouse, Posy and other blogs. I decided I that I really wanted to have the satisfaction of having crochet things made by me instead of buying them. The whole process and very therapeutic (once you get the hang of it!)

On Tuesday, my way back to the car, I popped in to The Golden Goose to buy an oilcloth tablecloth (another passion of mine, I can't stop collecting table cloths) and some paper lanterns.

More news on how I am progressing with my crochet next week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Lilly and Larry who are 1 today!

Off to Bristol (Clifton) tomorrow to do a spot of shopping.

A bientôt!
