I'm glad I'm home! Yesterday was a VERY long day... thankfully made shorter by the lovely Sally from Stitchy Woo Woo.
I left home shortly after 6am so I could catch the bus up to London from Milton Keynes. I'm a great supporter of public transport - but I'm not sure I'd use National Express again! The website was terribly confusing as to which stops I could use with luggage in the hold - and even a call to their call centre did nothing to help, so in the end I settled for travelling into Victoria Coach station. Now I had trouble navigating the coach station so heaven help anyone from another country visiting and ending up there! Anyway by 9:30am I was at the venue - having bumped into Angharad on route (with her lovely daughter and father).
It was lovely to meet fellow Etsian's both stall holders and customers. I met some blog readers too - which was lovely, as you're never quite sure if you have any!! The day was quieter than I might have liked, however I made several sales, and a couple of custom orders and it was wonderful to meet up with fellow crafters.
The delightful Abi came up from Devon bringing my custom tops that she'd made - beautiful and I must remember to show you a photo!
The topping of the day came when Sally heard that I was travelling by coach and offered me a lift in her car all the way to Milton Keynes - thanks to Lovealittle's mum Renee for organising that!

Now if you don't mind - but I'm going for a cup of tea and a laze on the sofa!!
