A visit to The Country Living Fair
Juliet Bawden in her blog creativesalvage.com shows some of the work that is on sale at The Country Living Fair
Despite its reputation as a bastion of the green wellie brigade, The Country Living Fair is all that, and much much more. It is like going to your favourite farmers market at the weekend with lots of crafts and goodies thrown in. Not everything is wonderful but it is very easy to spend lots of money and have fun tasting things and trying things on. I took so many photo’s of different stands obviously with the owners permission and their web site details so here are a few of my favourites. I spent some time talking to Carey Marvin an embroidery and embellishment artist who started out as a painter. She buys and recycles garments and transforms them. As her card states ‘ anything a needle can pass through can be embellished and through the process transformed. Nothing is wasted.’ Her business goes by the inspired name of ‘Let it Fray’ her details are carey..uk her mobile number is 0774 048 7128. The fair is on until Sunday Venue: Business Design Centre, Islington
