Many thanks for all great updates.
Forgot to say Marlay is 25 - 27th November !!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback!
ReplyDeleteMary - will you send me more details on the Marlay Christmas Fair if you have a link with contact details for stalls? Then I can include it next week. I am going to try to put all the markets on my Google calendar and put that up on this site. There's going to be a lot of markets going on in the next two months!!
Last time I went to Singapore I had to post back 15kg of fabric and trimmings as it was cheaper than checking in another bag! I'm very excited. Hopefully my sister (who I am visiting) will come shopping with me!
thanks Nat. Have a fab time!!
