Cool Yule Festive Market

I've had a great time this morning, as I have been to the Cool Yule Festive Market at Snape Maltings. There was a huge array of stalls, and I was even able to get a few more Christmas gifts AND a few treats for myself.....

---

....firstly I spied some beautiful linen cloths and lace on this wonderful stall - Clares Vintage Tea Party actually ALL their goodies were lovely - check out these cake stands Fran!! - anyway, I bought some lovely lace goodies and a tablecloth AND a fabulous vintage french cushion cover to use in my bedroom.....

---

.....more lovely linen and lace - this time on the James and Joanna stall (hi Joanna - hope you warmed up a bit!!) - her cushions are really stunning and are beautifully made.....

---

.....next up it was time to sample some goodies from the very nice man from the Stour Valley Smokehouse - the smoked cheeses were delicious, as was the salmon mousse - I bought some smoked goat cheese for supper, and some of the mousse too - it really is delicious.....

---

.....I was tempted to buy again, and bought a vintage lace tablecloth from this stall - it will make a perfect Christmas gift - I also bought some lace trimming to use on my hand-made bags too.....

---

.....there were some beautiful Christmas arrangements on the Flowers by Looma stall - she's local too, based in Aldeburgh, and I think I definitely need a trip a trip to her shop to choose a decoration for my dining table ready for Christmas.....

---

.....and MORE edible goodies - delicious pies form the cheese and pie man. I was really impressed at the selection of stalls at this event today - I had some nibbles AND bought some Christmas gifts so had a great morning out. Next week it's the Woodbridge Festive Market - so you might see me there too, doing a bit of last minute shopping.
