There are a total of 12 fat quarters, some for specific people, others just because ;o)
Some peel-offs for card making and glace pens and acetate, lots of cats eye beads and silver charms for stitchmarkers and a booklet on how to lucet. I also picked up a couple of boobkmarks and a card from the encaustic wax art stand as i just love it and really miss my kit :o(
I managed to resist the siren song of the Marble even though it was looking particularly gorgeous but i'm not sure i'll do so well next time ;o)
When we go to Brighton i shall be looking for some nice papers for my card making as i am running low on them but there weren't actually that many card making stalls there last week.
I also bought Mum her early birthday present - a set of stamps and inks from Card-io, we both love them and i have been promising myself a set since i saw them last year but the price scares me!!
We had a really good day out, the drive was fine, hardly any slow moving traffic, we got parked quite close the to entrance so Mum didn't have to walk too far and we stopped often for lots of rests. I spent some time talking to stall holders and asking questions and i very nearly bought an overlocker from the Janome stand! Luckily i resisted because when i got home and looked at my machine i have discovered that it can do two thread overlocking already and that ought to be good enough for my needs :)

Very nice haul! I really like the colours of the FQs. I tend to get my cardstock from a local cardmaking shop as they let you fill a box of different card (weights/colours) for £5. Works out a good price :)
I have a closer picture of my favourite FQ - it's all pinky and orangey and has celtic knots all over it, it's Egyptian inspired apparantly :?
AS for the card stock, there were a couple of stands there that had the fill a box thing but i wasn't keen on their patterns - there'll be more at Brighton i'm sure :o)
What fab shopping.
I LOVE those litle blue penguins too :-)
