Pinehaven Arts and Crafts Fair with Whskr

Well, the Pinehaven Arts and Crafts show was certainly humming when we arrived mid afternoon on Saturday.  We even managed a cup of coffee and some delicious chocolate cake before we made a few purchases!

 

Pinehaven Show with Whskr

There is always plenty of room at the fair at Pinehaven, the hall is substantial enough to accommodate paintings, garments and a host of smaller handmade items.

I particularly loved the wood and metal wall pictures seen in this picture.  The whole wall shows that the Hutt Valley accommodates a wide variety of artistic skills and many pictures has 'sold' stickers on them - great for the artists and great for Pinehaven School, who take a portion of the sale proceeds.

This year some of the highlights were the wonderful raincoats by OTT, and the superb nuno felted scarves draped around the hall.  The one things I did not see much of were earrings! I fancied a pair but was limited by my budget so decided on a small watercolour notebook instead with lovely paper and a funky cover.
