I have never before been to the Deloraine / Tasmanian Craft fair which has grown to be a huge event in Tasmania every year. Surprising but true - but then neither had Mum, so that is probably why. So I proposed a trip and off we went on a perfect mum & daughter bonding adventure day. We left South Hobart at about 8.20am and arrive back pretty much 12 hours later. I have well and truly gotten used to the required three hour drive after my time in SA and that meant we had about 6 hours to wonder and look, and buy and chill and eat and wonder some more! We both got lots of inspiration, but didn't buy to much, except my weakness came when I took Mum to Fresh Fabric - probably the best fabric store in Tasmania. The first time I every walked into that shop I exclaimed I wanted to move in and live there! And of course it is surrounded by three country op-shops in which i found so many yummy bargains....
there were some great displays, which i sometimes admired more than the products...
Lunch was a Mum special of Spinach & Ricotta pie with salad, in the car in the green green padock
Fresh Fabric and 2 Quilt Ladies, fat quarters
bargain bundles
I have a bit of an orange / yellow container thing happening lately, not normally my thing
came with 6 cups and saucers, and a found one matching tea cup and saucer
tea cups for cactus
can't wait to make some kids clothes with this!
We hardly got any rain during the day, until it was time to leave. We went the scenic route through Westbury and stopped for local ice cream from Andy's - and it was amazing. I had Jaffa and Chocolate Hazelnut and Mum had Chocolate Rough and Hazelnut - and it was full of roasted crushed nuts and little chocolate chunks and was just bloody good way to finish the day.
