An Easter Egg....

...stravaganza! (i do apologise for the dreadful pun!)

This weekend is jam packed with lovely fairs and markets - starting with my first trip to Spitalfields on Saturday for the monthly fabulous Judy's @ Spitalfields.

www.judysvintagefair.co.uk  for further details......it is open from 11am until 5pm

So, what the awful pun at the beginning - well this bank holiday at Spitalfields i will be having a massive sale of lots of lovely things - from china to books and music and patterns and haberdashery to handpoured candles and more!

I will also be offering a great deal on my mix & match cake stands - with an amazing deal of 2 tier's for £10 and 3 for £15 - bargain!

If there is anything you are specifically looking for then drop me a line (meliguin@gmail.com ) and i will bring along whatever i can if i have it in stock!!


My second visit will be on Bank Holiday Monday - and i will be bringing some new items to showcase

Spitalfields twice in one weekend - woo hoo!


Finally a mention of this lovely blog - such fantastic comments - i got all emotional - it was such an enjoyable week - but such hard work - comments like these make it all worthwhile.
