I was having a look at UK Handmade magazine website and found, under the local section was the Hoolala Circus who are hosting a Bicycle Basket Boutique craft fair at Southport Market. I think it looks fab. I thought that I could knit a few Lydia flowers for the outside of my bike basket! Unfortunately I'm away in Manchester that weekend so I can't attend but I think it's a great idea and I'm sorry I can't join in.
Just imagine how much yarn you could fit in that huge basket.
What made me laugh was the list of do's and don'ts. (the apostrophes don't look right there but the whole thing is making me a bit light-headed).
Goods allowed for sale:
handmade goods, homegrown vegetables, paintings & art, vintage &
collectables (20 years or older), textiles knitting & crochet,
homemade cakes & biscuits, and clothing.
Goods NOT allowed for sale:
antiquities from ancient burial sites, live animals, body parts,
firearms & weapons, poisons & witchcraft, grated goods.
I think a couple of chickens in that basket along with a false leg and an AK47 would look quite interesting. In fact, I thought I saw someone with a witches hat riding a bike just like that round here on Halloween.
They have a facebook page if you want to like it, you could pop over and have a look at mine too if you like!
Anyway, I think that's enough links to be going on for now, even for a devoted link lover like me!
See you soon
