Christmas market updates.....

So Friday was my first market since having the little one and my first night out without her. The E17 Designers market are always great fun, sounds really cheesy but I think they're such a good atmosphere with lots of music and people getting merry on their free drink! There was a surreal moment when an exotic and glamorous belly dancer took to the stage which kept all the men happy. The dancer teaches at my mum's college, Waltham Forest, it looks like great fun and perfect way to get toned up for the summer!



So this week end in conjunction with the Forest Gate Art Trail is a christmas indoor market at the Old Slate Yard. It's quite unusual to have an art trail in winter but it makes a nice change. The lady who runs it got inspired from the Victorian Christmas markets and so decided to try and create one herself with lots of Christmas trees, wreaths and handmade christmas gifts on offer. I've managed to get together some new pictures of 50's girls at the hairdressers.........

We've also got some new jewellery and beaded bookmarks on offer which my mum has been busy making. She made a couple of bracelets for me which I haven't taken off since she gave them to me a month ago!
