I missed you all last week. Wednesdays aren't quite the same without a wander around the desks of the crafty, ooohing and aaahing at tidyness, disorder, new crafty stash and other people's makes. To see more crafty desks, you need to call in on our esteemed leader Julia, at the WOYWW button to the left.
Today's picture is really dim, because I forgot to take it while there was still plenty of light in the hall. Doh... It is approximately half of the catalogues, magazines, price lists and information I gathered at the Craft Hobby & Stitch Show this week. I am looking forward to Thursday and Friday when I have quiet days available to brew up a large pot of tea, sit down at the table in the window armed with my trusty marker pen, and peruse it all. Hope that those of you who went to CHSI enjoyed it as much as I did.
Happy Wednesday hun!Looks like you will be busy reading through that lot!You sure will need a large cuppa!Please pop by my blog as i have candy up for grabs.

Wow that looks like some reading pile - I think you might want a pot of tea not just a mug - glad you had a good time at the show - Nicky no.4
ReplyDeleteHave fun when you go through all those catalogues and magazines - sounds like a good time.
ReplyDeleteHi - you were SO restrained! Half of me would love to go to an event like this, the other (sensible) side sighs with relief that I don't tend to see the ads for them! I was scanning down your really interesting blog and felt SO sorry that your hard work for the craft fair wasn't appreciated. It's a real bummer, eh?! I'm amazed how few people are interested in lovely, home made crafts. Good job we have fun making them, isn't it!! Anyway - we love you! Keep it up xx
ReplyDeleteHi ya
ReplyDeletelooks like you have a lot of readin n looking, have fun goin through all them. have great day, happy WOYWW, sue,x(18)
Enjoy your reading ..... Sorry to hear the craft fair people were so unappreciative of all your lovely work.

ReplyDeleteI do Love a Good Show,
if the old ankles can survive the assault of many hundreds of trolley toting crafters,it is one of the best things slice sliced cake.
Congrats on the Number one posting!

My goodness, there must be a tree trunk in there! Sounds like a great plan to settle down and peruse your goodies. Which will only lead to more goodies, right? :)
ReplyDeleteAh, them days - toting around a billion catalogues, spending all night going through them and then going back the next day to place orders where they had show discounts. So do you have a shop Bernie? I feel like I've missed something! Good luck with the marker pen!
ReplyDeleteohooo number one, I over slept... and am now very late for work...but never mind, this is soooo much more fun!Happy reading, happy woyww
ReplyDelete(Lyn)
I love going through catalogs and brochures! So many wonderful ideas! I read that you didn't sell anything in the last craft fair you joined. Maybe it was the crowd- didn't really come to buy! Patsy from
ReplyDeleteHeARTworks
Sounds like a perfect escape! Think I'll shop vicariously through you Bernie:)
ReplyDeletewow, would love a snoop through those catalogues!!! I had a list a pile high!! happy marking :)
ReplyDeleteOh bliddy Hell! Did you realign your shoulders yet? How did you manage to lug those around all day?
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading though! Yum!
You are being very restrained to wait to read through all the papery fun! #67
ReplyDeleteOh what fun to be able to flip through all these....these should keep you busy for awhile!
ReplyDeleteHave fun ploughing through your magazines :-)

ReplyDeleteNow how'd you get to be No.1! What time did you go to bed/get up cos I was up till 3.30am waiting to post. Can you send me some of your catalogues so I can do an all night sit in next week!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBest start saving me pennies up cos I just know your going to make me buy stuff. Have fun going through it all and send me any good links.
Congrats on being number 1 this week. Sounds like it must have been good to take a week off You sure have a lot of reading to do this week. I don't envy you, since I am having trouble holding a book in one hand and turning the page in the same hand (grin). Have a great Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a haul that look, have fun ploughing through it all. Hugs lin
ReplyDeleteWow you have plenty of reading there, but how exciting looking at new products. Enjoy, Tracy Evans x
ReplyDeleteWow! That is only half of the catalogs? Ooh, it will be fun to just sit and go through them!
ReplyDeleteI admire you for getting into the craft fair circuit! I would imagine it is hard to know what the audience will be like and just have to find the right one with the right audience for you!
xoxo Karen (#44)
How did you get them all home ...what a weight to carry to your car. Hope you have loads of fun skimming through them with your trusty pen in one hand and tea cup in the other.xx
ReplyDeletewow that is some reading material - hope you have a cosy Thursday tucked up reading them
ReplyDeleteYou need a full day to go through all of those catalogs and other reading materials! What fun.
ReplyDeleteStop by when you get a chance to see my messy workspaces *hee hee*. I'm #120 this week.
Enjoy the read...as long as you don't buy it all too - thanks for sharing - I must go to a show soon too!
ReplyDeleteSarah at 11
Hello Bernie, wow! that's a serious amount of reading material and only from one show! Still, nice to sit down and go through when you have the time - I just hope you're wish list won't exercise the old plastic too much :) Elizabeth x #114
ReplyDeleteWell #1...you look as though you have your work cut out for you! Glad you enjoyed the show.
ReplyDeleteLot of reading then! HUgs Pam x
ReplyDeleteOnly half the stack!! Wow! I would not be able to stop myself from sitting right down and starting through them until I just had to stop from the amount of pleasure. LOL
ReplyDeleteMultiple pots of tea will be required to get through that lot! looks like a lot of fun though.
ReplyDeleteHugs

You have my sympathy, I too have a mountain of temptation but aren't some of the catalogues HUGE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is gonna be one hell of a big pot of tea you are going to need!! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteSam aka Hettie #135
Have fun with your magazines!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek
Keep smiling and creating
Sounds like you have a plan for viewing the catalogs! Fix your cup of tea, find your marker, and have a fun viewing them all!
ReplyDeleteVickie #148
Those are a lot of catalogs, have fun going through them :)
ReplyDeleteThe Craft show sounds wonderful! I would love to go to something like that. How can you stand to wait to go through those catalogs? But do have a good time when you sit with a cup of tea and peruse the pages. Happy WOYWW! (Thank you for your words of encouragement on my blog!)
ReplyDeleteLol, obviously I haven't written my post correctly cause you're the third person to mention how quick the snow melted! The sunny, almost snowless pic was from Friday 18th Feb, the snowy pic was from Monday 21st Feb, so it's all still on the ground. Plus another 2" from last night, up to another 5" tonight and another couple of inches for the weekend too!!

Hi Bernie, sounds like you had a great time at the show (good luck with your new digital kit - I've never been able to get into that). That sure was a lot of reading you had there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog - yes, that was a Sanctuary box in my cupboard - it was a Christmas pressie and I soon had it in use storing some of my lace! I think I was more excited about the box rather than the lovely smellies inside it - lol.
What an amazing place to go to. You have your job cut out with the mags.
ReplyDeleteI envy you your ability to make bird calls..how fantastic that they answer back.
Sue xx
Blimey, that's a right wad you've got there! I bet it'll be fun drooling over all the goodies though.
ReplyDeleteI see you're a girl after my own heart when it comes to beauty! Although I think I would go bankrupt if I liked anywhere near a Sephora ;-)
Hi Bernie,
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to need more than one pot of tea to get through those magazines hun!

I am so late in my visiting that you have probably had your designated magazine time by now! It looks like you got quite a haul there... I can imagine what my bank balance would be like, finding all these lovely new things I would have to have!! Annette #5
