It's London, baby!

While my meerkat was on its way to meet Arosha in Israel, my friend Sharona was flying in the opposite direction to meet me! Well, not *just* to meet me, there was shopping involved - read more in Sharona's blog.

Most importantly - would meerkat and flutterbutt get along ok?



So well colour-coordinated, aren't we?



There were cakes - oh my, the cakes were GOOD!



and there was a bar...



and we can now conclusively say YES, flutterbutts and meerkats can be best of friends!

It was so nice to meet my virtual friend - next year in Jerusalem?

Check out Sharona's blog about this same day!

We Make London

Just over a year ago I went to London to visit the first ever We Make London craft fair. Most of the stallholders were UK Etsy sellers, and it was a fabulous event. I was lucky enough to nab one of the goody bags - and indeed I still use it daily to carry my lunch and other bits and bobs in to work.



A few weeks ago I noticed that the We Make team were having a giveaway on their blog, and of course entered (I'm a sucker for a giveaway, as you know!)

I was lucky enough to get picked to win one of the 50 We Make London birthday badges, seen here on my bag.



I spotted today on the We Make blog that they've announced their new Autumn fair - I recommend the team highly! It'll be a great day whether you go along as a seller or as a buyer - but take my advice and get there early!
