Cupid Brooch - Whskr

My box came home considerably lighter from Pinehaven I am glad to say.  The crystal necklaces were popular especially those on a quilter/quilting theme, as were the scrabble tile pendants. Sweet and simple won the day.  

One of my cupid brooches also sold.  These are a new venture into a different doll shape in felt this time, not my current venture into metal.  I love the pewter faces and just went with the idea enjoying the fun heart shape.  The other two Cupid brooches will be heading for Felt and Etsy this week!

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.

 

Wall display at Pinehaven (Whskr)

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.

 

Central Display Unit (Whskr)

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.
