It's always lovely to catch up with fellow basketeers including Lindsey from 'Elsie Sparrow'. I bought one of her cute Christmas stockings complete with striped candy cane. Also a little mirror made using a page from a comic that brought back memories of my teenage years.
Linda and Jake were there, they had a stall ' Love Thyself ,' at our vintage fair a few weeks ago. I couldn't resist one of Linda's Cinderella tags. I loved this Ladybird book when I was a child. Linda and I both agreed that her blue dress was our favourite, although I think I used to change my mind about my favourite Cinderella dress on a regular basis.
I treated myself to this lovely Father Christmas match box holder, I spotted it amongst Deb's treasures before she had even unpacked ! It's now on my kitchen dresser and it prompted me to fish out my old Father Christmas Bird's Custard jug.
Next Saturday we are going to be at the Bentley Priory Winter Fair. Bentley Priory is the historic home of the Battle of Britain museum so should have a wonderful atmosphere.

Hi there,
Would have loved to go to the BBB yesterday, however in the week, my car started making odd noises when I changed gear. I asked a nearby neighbour(who's a mechanic) to have a listen. He told me the thrust bearing had gone!!! :( So i'm without a car at the moment!!
If you let me know when the next one is, I will try to get to that!!! Flipping cars!!!

Hi Sharon,
we aren't at any more BBBs before Christmas but I think there may be one every Saturday leading up to Christmas.

Hope you had a successful day, despite the cold! Back in the summer I went to an exhibiton at the local art gallery where they had the original illustrations for some of those pictures in that Cinderella book, Oh my goodness they gave me goosebumps!
