Festival Purchases

It's lovely to unpack the purchases, especially when you've forgotten what you've bought - lots of nice surprises :-)  The only annoying thing is, in some cases, not being able to remember who they were purchased from.  I wish I'd written it down whilst I was there, but I was too busy having fun!

So yesterday I dressed Alison in this darling embroidered cardigan which I think I bought from Ruth, shoes from Lisa and cute stripey tights from The Doll Works.  I had absolutely no skirts which would suit though so decided to quickly make one.  I say quickly, and the sewing part was pretty fast, but beforehand it took me about three hours to find everything I needed and clear the dining table!



Just found this photo I must share - my three girls enjoying the day at Dawn's house.  Chrissie, my Festival purchase, on the left.   Suzanna wearing a classic yoke dress I think I bought from Ruth, and Andrea wearing a purchase from The Doll Works

    Thanks Dee. Trying on new clothes is such fun, isn't it. I should have bought more shoes though!

    I wanted to stay at Dawn's house forever :-)

    Sales table shopping is such a fun and enjoyable part of the festivals or Sasha Fundays. Unfortunately there is never enough time, or money, to buy all that you would have liked too and you come back wishing in hindsight that you had bought, this, that and the other!
    Manning my own half sales table I was rather limited as to what I could buy at Stratford-upon-Avon but did manage to secure a few oddments from nearby tables. Still have to treat myself to a little 'trying on session' of a few of the items.
    Looks as though you had a super Sasha spend though. Great to have a few keep sakes of the occasion.
    Sasha love from Kendal.

      It was blissful to see everything on offer and choose those must-have items. I've never been able to do that before, always having to rely on mail-order, so this was a really special treat for me.
