Christmas Craft Fair

Over the weekend Fibres & Fabrics had their annual Christmas Craft Fair.  It was a great weekend, with lots of chatting, eating and buying.  While numbers of visiting public were down a bit, given the economic climate that's to be expected.  Regardless, a good weekend was had by all so I've heard (perhaps nobody was game to say otherwise!)  I'll let the photos speak for themselves.  Just a note, the photos were taken early on Sunday morning before opening for the public.
