Hello from the
West End Fair, Edinburgh! It’s my turn on the blog today, and so I thought I’d share a little of my day with you. Not just my day in fact, but my month – this fair runs from the 8th to the 30th August, every day from 11 – 6! Phew. Here are a few snaps from the show today…
 |
| My stall, looking (hopefully!) bright, colourful and cheery. |
 |
| Perhaps slightly less so, now you can see the weather….it’s rather soggy! It was gorgeous sunshine yesterday, I promise – hopefully more of that to come. |
 |
| My facing neighbour, Ulrike, who makes the most amazing felted artwork! Woolly Felted Design.
Beautiful felted flower brooches
|
 |
| Nameless Wonders – Karen makes the most awesome, quirky collectable animals! I have the cheekiest mole at home from her.
|
 |
| Someone who really needs no introduction on this blog… |
 |
| Can you see who it is? |
 |
| This artist doesn’t just make lampwork beads for you and me to work with… |
 |
| She also turns her own glass art into beautiful, colourful jewellery herself… |
 |
| But don’t worry, she’s got beads on her stand as well! |
Yep, it’s
Helen Chalmers. (Needless to say, I probably have almost as many Helen Chalmers lampwork beads on my stand as she does….)
If you are in Scotland and anywhere near Edinburgh, I hope you will pop along and visit us here at the West End Fair, behind St John’s at the west end of Princes Street!

You are amongst an amazing group of artisans. Have fun.
