Today was my day off, so I went out. The Big Craft Fair at Lincolnshire Showground was very busy. It was £3.50 to get in, and I took my food with me. Plenty of chairs around the edges to sit on and people watch. I chatted to some of the stall holders. Crafty people are always friendly. I spent some money. I knew that the Blacksmith was going to be there, so I bought some more flowers for my garden.
There are two exhibition centres at the Showground. In the other building there was an Antiques and Collectables Fair, so I had a look around there as well. Another £3.50 to get in there. More people to chat with. I browsed the stalls and found some really nice fabric. It was getting close to closing time so the lovely lady let me have it for £2. I was looking at jewellery with the idea of getting something for the centre of my next mandala. Once more I got a bargain. I picked one wire and beady thing and asked how much. 50p she said. There were two the same so she said you can have the two for fifty pence. Bargain.
As soon as I got home I added the two new flowers to the others. Fantastic. Lovely to see them as I look out over the back garden.
All three cats stayed in the house all day. Even Oscar didn't want to go out in the murky damp weather.
The start of a new week. Let's hope it is a good one.
