This year, my good friend The Tipsy Tart was doing a local food & craft fair so she stayed over with us.
Her flavoured vodkas are fabulous & she also does cocktail evenings at various venues
Supporting local, independent businesses is something I am passionate about.
If we want vibrant high streets with interesting goods, we must support local fairs, markets & businesses to make this happen. After the horse meat scandal this year, I resolved to shop locally more often as they often know their suppliers personally & know the supply chain is short & ethical. That is something we should all give more thought to.
These were some of the other traders that we supported:
Julia of toot sweets chocolates has absolutely wonderful homemade chocolates ...
A wonderful time sourcing new things for the festive season, enjoying lots of samples & tasting food & drink - really recommended.
Please support local businesses because your high street deserves to be vibrant & independent!
Thanks for stopping by - it is always appreciated,
Dee ~♥~
Wow! How can you arrive to the end of these festivities?

I love market shopping & so these are lovely. When I visited Spain, I also loved looking at all the wonderful foods - especially the gorgeous fruits!
