De très jolis stands et quelques nouvelles fournitures (et soyons francs il a fallu se croquer les doigts plusieurs fois pour ne pas craquer =D)
Une bonne petite journée pour tous les 2 puisque Super Moitié y a aussi trouvé son compte !
Quelques photos de ce qu'on y a (entre autre) vu..
Mais surtout un post consacré au diagramme voyageur reçu d'Emma en fait...
Je l'ai commencé ce weekend et je ferai le tirage au sort le weekend prochain pour connaitre sa nouvelle destination =)
Je ne pouvais quand même pas faire un post que pour les amies étrangères =)
D'ici au prochain....très bonne semaine

In October we went to a craft show in Lille.
First time we attend a craft show in France =D
Last year we missed it but this year we took the chance and had a very great day there, we...because even Super Half found supplies for his crafts =)
How great it was ... and how difficult to not succumb to everything =)
We saw incredible crafter, wonderful supplies and new techniques , maybe the one that amazed us
most was this way to cut paper to make cards or frames !
So tiny and detailed !
And here is what I finally bought =)
Linen, ribbons, fabrics, buttons (that Hubby will paint for me, one has already been painted and will appear soon with a stitched piece...and the red one with cross stitch engraved on it, is now a magnet on my magnetic board =D)

I love my new supplies =D
So now the TRAVELLING PATTERN .... :D
I received it from Emma who kindly added lovely goodies (thank you again sweetie , I will have a good use of what you sent me and I really love this fabric and the buttons )
I started it this weekend and will finish it very quickly , for sure.
It is 'Count Your Blessings' by Shakespeare's Peddler
It has already crossed half the world and can't stop in France =)
Same rules as usual
. Be a follower here, an active blogger and good exchanger
. Stitch it quickly as soon as you've received it and help it continuing its journey
I'll pick up a name by the end of this week =)
Until next post... have a good week

You're so lucky, I love Lille!! Wish I could have been there to buy such lovely stash too ;) I love your choices of fabric, and everything else really :P Have fun with the travelling pattern!
RépondreSupprimerLille is an amazing place indeed (even if with Hubby our hearts go to Arras :D)
Supprimerit was a great craft show, it goes everywhere in France during the year and October is Lille
I really had stars in my eyes and the choice was difficult !
see you next year craft show, I hope at that period I'll have more money to do a massacre =D

Lille sounds wonderful - thanks for sharing the photos. You picked up some good 'stash' and I look forward to seeing your creations.
RépondreSupprimerLille is a wonderful town, when we are searching for something we have to go to Lille !
Supprimerbut as I just said to Mii , with Hubby we prefer Arras =)
smaller and so beautiful
I have to find projects for these new supplies ...not a too hard problem I think =D
xxxxx
Oh. always great those craft shows!
RépondreSupprimerYou bought pretty stuff over there.
Your picture in the mirror looks great, seems you had a lot of fun.
Enjoy your stitching with the pattern you won!
One thing very great here, is that with Hubby, we really need very small things to be crazy =D
Supprimerhahahaha
we are a crazy couple =D
we had a great moment there, a pity it happens only once a year and that this year my wallet was a bit empty...I hope I'll buy more next year !
big hugs sweetie
(and thank you for your visit on Hubby's blog :D)

Craft shows are wonderful places, so many items under one roof. Too much choice in some cases. Please put my name in the draw for the travelling pattern.

I put your name in the hat for the travelling pattern...good luck

RépondreSupprimerHugs
I really had to put an urchin in my purse =D
Supprimerwhat a day we had !
Now ... I have to work =)
big hugs sweetie

Hi Valma! The problem with craft shows, there's always way too much stuff you NEED to have! When you have to limit what you spend, making choices gets so much harder. It looks like you came away with some good stuff! Kind regards, Brian.
RépondreSupprimerho my, you're so right !
SupprimerWe had to awake our 'Scottish side' and put an urchin in our purse =D
Maybe next year we will have more money and buy more things :)
It was already great to be able to attend

Oh wow we love craft shows! My credit card gets a real work out when we go to the one that comes to town in May of each year :)
RépondreSupprimerI love the fabrics... I would have really struggled choosing what to buy. And it's very dangerous when there is two of you buying.... :)
Love the last photo :)
Hugs x
credit cards think that those craft shows are enemies hehehe =)
Supprimerthey would have a heart attack if they had a heart =D
It was a real nightmare to choose things to bring back home !
next year I hope my wallet will be bigger so that I can buy more =D
