X-Factor!


I just had the BEST weekend.
Saturday night a very lovely friend of mine got me tickets to the X-fACTOR, Oh my goodness they are as rare as Willy Wonkas Golden tickets!
To be honest this series I was more interested in seeing the judges than the contestants, Simon Cowell oozed power & Danni Minogue was so tiny and doll like!
Here is my friend and her brother with brother and sister act 'Same Difference' Saturday nights will never be the same again!


Then Sunday was officially Craft fair day, I have popped into a few Christmas fairs over the past couple of weeks, but these 2 were REALLY good. First the Artists Book Fair at the ICA where I bought a few goodies from the lovely Fran. Then a leisurely stroll through Covent Garden, lunch at the best fish & chip shop in London (I think they all say that!) & then the annual Christmas show at Cockpit Studios. I bought LOTS of goodies but unfortunately I can't share them as they are Christmas presents for friends & family & I don't want them sneaking a peek!
I can however show you this gorgeous cushion that I commissioned from Janet Clare, perfect for this time of year & as a back drop for my dolls!



She also made me a plain cover that I intend to decorate with these cute badges from In My Back Yard.


I got a shock when I saw Royal Mails official recommended Christmas Postal dates.
There is approximately only 2 weeks left for International shipping, I better nip over to Etsy and up date my shop.

  13. Lucky you! I have a dreadful flu and taking a look into your lovely blog cheered up heaps. By the way, do you like Sylvanian Families (the toys)? Looking at your bunny rabbits and things I thought you just might.
