Edinbugh International Flstival draws crafters from all over and hats...one hady had such a stunning show.Expensive yes but her work was first class.
She had bobbly yarn...they seemed based on structured hats from a different era..cloche and brimmed and trimmed.She had feathers cabbage roses and highland theme going.they were multicoloured and toned like the landscape..
cost is relative..her hats was top style but I would have to save a bit.(I may)
Also there were bead by an art lady..each bead different very large...main ones were felted with tiny bead sewn on..chunky and the mixed in were large and in your face in a nice way.Again festival prices but worth the hours spent..need to have a festival money jar...for next year.
This craft fair is a good place to find unique items.I got a jacket there way back and each wear shows me its worth buying there from art trained people.its a wool collarless olive green with matching scarf but a touch of matching velvet at edge it sits so well.These designers go on sometimes to famous houses and I recommend Lola goes when she eventually visits for the Tattoo.Listening Lola?
