They had a nice mix of exhibitors on show and an hour into opening it was already bustling with activity and demos.
There were some gorgeous flamingo cushions made from antique tapestry which I wanted so badly from Eclectic Chair stand, which featured lots of uber kitsch vintage textile prints
I also really liked the Caslon & Co stand. They make soft furnishings and linens using antique printing blocks with clean geometric patterning (www.caslonandco.com)
I bumped into one of the lovely contributors to the recent Pretty Nostalgic feature 'Let the Light In' who was showcasing her Radiance lighting collection (www.radiancelighting.co.uk)
And received a lovely wallpaper sample from Claire Murray (www.clairemurraydesigns.blogspot.co.uk)
There were some wonderful items on the Flitty Bird stand, including the most adorable ceramic bunny necklaces by And Mary ( not interior stuff I know but cute non the less!) I've since been looking at the Flitty Bird website and there are some great products and brands on there (www.flittybird.co.uk)
The highlight for me were the Helaina Sharpley wire sculptures in particular the impressive townscape that came of the wall. They had a beautifully fragile quality to them, and a certain vintage feel with the chosen subject matter of other pieces being teacups, spoons and clocks.

All in all a great event filled with wonderful local makers and designers!
