Festive Fun at the Westbury Arts Centre Winter Fayre!

A fun day had by all at Westbury Arts Centre's Winter Fayre today,
great to see some old faces and meet new ones too! 

I was lucky to have neighbouring stall holders, Jeremy Turner and BucksVision. 

Jeremy displayed his colourful array of hand carved wooden items. 

Bucks Vision had their debut stall selling their beautiful hand dyed silk scarves, ties and handmade jewellery all made by visually impaired people in MK, amazing!

I had a stall on the upstairs landing selling limited edition prints, greeting cards, handmade gifts and also demonstrated the craft of needle felting.

Stall holders: Textile artists Yvonne Elliot and Jane Charles were selling their beautiful
handmade felt giftware. Textile artist Hilly Edwards displayed her beautiful handmade felt
