Mary Poppins is right ,a spoonful of sugar does make the medicine go down.Sugar was disguised as wool,books filled with woolly bits and a shop filled with cute useful,and the not so useful, a knitted cactus being one. I spent the day with my great friend doing some retail therapy, we had a great day.
Look at all those beautiful skeins of yarn. Unbelievably ,with all these gorgeous ball so yarn I have been seduced by wait for it..ACRYLIC, yes
that's right acrylic. I
haven't used that stuff in more than 17 years. They were all the rage when I did my city and guilds machine knitting.They came on cones and as a student it was cheap.I have always been a bit of yarn snob, I love the finer stuff if you gave me acrylic for a free,I'd say no ta, Yet, today I have no idea what happened but I ended up with 12 balls of the stuff. It feels so soft and silk I really like it . In my defence, I have been to the doctors recently and I have high blood pressure, it seems to be affecting my judgement ,I must be really ill ,still cant quite believe I bought acrylic I'll
photograph it later .Moments like those have to have a pictureI must say I'm finding it really hard to take photos of all my purchases .I still haven't taken photos of my ally pally purchases .
I'm hopeless.
Buzz makes her shop so inviting ,its a real
aladdin's cave filled with treasures,the selection of buttons. Its just around the corner near enough for my next fix of...... god I hope it's not acrylic.

Never say never, comes to mind. Which shop was by the way, judging by your photos it must be "All the fun on the fair". Still I am not completely sure. I can wait to see your photos from Ally Pally as I didn't go. These days I am on a self-impose yarn diet, my stash has to go down somehow,as its already difficult to enter my spare room.
