Three other people from my group today decided to go to the craft fair today.
So up early in the morning, walk the dogs and the head over to my queens place in order to get on the road. Richmond is a bit of a drive from where we live. So we travel over to the next town where we drop in on a couple of more ladies. Then it is off to the races. Four of unbundle into the car and head for Richmond.
Well at least it is not raining anymore today. Are not sure what we will find when we get there. Is some of this outside or is it all inside.. Well guess we will find out when we get there.
The fair starts at 10 o clock and we make it there by 9 40 . Oh still plenty of time. The doors are not opened yet but there is ladies already lined up to get in and get the good stuff first. Okay it is getting chilly out here. The doors are not opened yet. It is now ten after and the ladies are getting antsy. More ladies are lining up outside.
Finally the doors open. In rushes everyone just to be filed back out again to be told instructions and a big thank you for coming out. These ladies are not interested in thank you'd they just want to get to the good stuff.
So finally we all file in. There are tables glamour of blindly jewelry, feathery things and lots of red and people items. A few snake type tables and a few home made items. Coloured yarn to make your own things. You would Foto one table and a price would be set. The you go to another table and the price is set at something totally different. So you had to look around allot and try to get the best price.
In the back room they had red hat bingo going on. One of the ladies was playing and won a red hat. Door prizes where sold as raffle tickets. Allot of fascinating stuff there. Boston pizza even catered for this event.
For me I picked up a few things as well. I found a couple more red hats that I can decorate sometime or rather. Along with a few feathered items to put on these red hats. A couple of interesting scarves that insight want to try and make. Oh yeah I also found a pair of silver earrings that at in the pattern of dolphins and a pin in the shape of a blingy dolphin.
All in all I think I got some pretty good deals. The hats I do love to decorate. Not much place I can wear them but they look nice on my shelf. Maybe to some of the conventions I am going to. Just have to figure out how to carry them down on a plane so they do not get crushed. Well that is a few months off yet so have sometime .
Well after we finished off doing a little shopping at the craft fair we stopped in Langley and had a nice meal at SAMs pub. It was our queens birthday month so gave her a treat.
Well I enjoyed myself today. Did a little talking a little shopping and then more talking. Well for me it was allot of listening as I am not much of a talker. I am a good listener though.
Thanks ladies for the day out. I got a few new ideas to work with and now am thinking maybe a sewing machine is in my future. That is to be seen. My craft room is soooo full of stuff now to work on and make up. Well time to get on some of it. I have an afghan to finish for a shower coming up here soon.
Well until next time. Two weeks till my next outing. A lunch at minter gardens, a play my group would like to go to and then to look forward to the funventions coming up this summer and fall. Have now got a busy schedule to look forward to.
