My Interests

HipHip is back... and this year it's bigger and badder than ever! This year's Hip Hip Handmade market is on every Saturday in December at the Fishmarket which has undergone some pretty dramatic changes in the past year(yes, it's still going to be cold!) The walls will be hung with an affordable art fair, Father Christmas will be popping in every morning and the Undereducated guys are putting on live music in the cafe every afternoon. Stalls cost £25, that includes the trestle table and chairs Already signed up and ready to go are: Paperfish Jambag Hoolala Samskiart Biscuit Boutique Grace Face Designs Northants College Art and Design Dept Stitch and Bitch Blame Designs P-Noo Industries House of Poodle Bags and Buttons Funky Felt Mollys Mum Samsara Kitsch-tique Funky Felt Curiosity Killed the Cat Woolly Workshop Blossom Design ... And I haven't even told many people about it yet! To get involved, email me at: [email protected] Hip Hip Hoorah! Sally x
