I went to an antiques fair today, to see if we could find an armchair there. Didn’t find any.

On the other hand, I found a sewing fair in the next hall, chock full of beautiful, colourful, soft things. Incredibly inspiring!

With all kinds of fairs and conferences (whether they are about sewing, gardening or software development) I find that even though I don’t normally come home with a lot of goods or new knowledge or immediate projects, I do come home with a lot of inspiration and new energy. I feel so full of crafty enthusiasm! I will knit and crochet and embroider!
