South Lambeth Market

Today was the try-out of South Lambeth Market, and now, like finding true love, I have no heart for any other. Always I meet the most awesome people at any market or craft fair, but ideally, I would like to meet awesome people and make a few martini tokens while I am at it - and so it was true today. I have to tell you, I had some misgivings: I didn't know the area, and as usual in the morning, I was grouchy.  But there really was something good about the place. something loved and treasured, like a garden.
 Like a garden that has concrete bambi sculptures and S&M Barbie as candle holders,  What is not to love?
I managed to sell things, buy some lovely things and buy a couple of beers once it was classy to do so, and still made some money. Can't wait to be with these people again.  Oh yes, as I hugged the lovely M goodbye, she said: " meeting other crafters is a bit like sex", perplexed, but curious I asked her to explain, she said "well, its an intense, loving experience, but once its over you just kind of want to go home and can't quite remember their name" so true! hey baby, it's been great, call you!
So there you have it folks, crafts fairs are a big arty orgy akin to a one night stand! Can't wait for the next one.  What I also loved about this craft fair was the quirky range of arts and crafts on offer.  Even traditional lavender bags had a twist.... Did spend a part of my profits on a papier mache flying lady. Again, what's not to love?

And to get me over the break up - I find this works...
