Today we stopped by Yandles Handmade Craft Fair, which is a yearly outdoor event in Martock, a small village in Somerset. There was plenty of stalls to look at and when it got too hot we were able to nip inside and browse all the craft items for sale - there was even a cafe inside!
We started off the day being taught how to create gorgeous fancy origami boxes by talented artist Sean Clarke, while our daughter was happily stood on the chair next to us screeching about paper. Thankfully she was whisked away to the woolen fairy toys by her Nana and we were able to finish the lids in peace!
We found so many cool things here, from stained glass bees, to cushions, to bear prints, to handmade candlesticks. I purchased a strand of feathers to hang up in our new house (hopefully moving soon!) and Pete found two lucky dips and won an intricate jug and a small tissue packet holder. I was very tempted on some bear prints and candle holders but managed to restrain myself.
The inside craft shopis just as impressive, with wool, papercraft, sewing, cross stitch, art supplies and even a cafe. I bee lined to this section and was a little disappointed when I found nothing that particularly interested me, but as I came out I discovered a whole wall full of papercraft in a sale section. I spent a good 20 minutes rummaging! I eventually settled on a Christmas pack for a friend and a Gorjuss Decoupage sheet for myself.
