Crafty Fun at Merchant City Festival

Buzz in the Craft Market

Buzz in the Craft Market

We really loved the craft market inside Merchant Square last year. The quality was amazing - all sorts of stuff, all made by hand.

My personal favourite? The "Fairy Doors" - little wooden arched doors that you stick on your skirting board to let "the little people" into your home. My wee niece LOVED hers - her "bestest ever" Christmas gift (so she said) ;)

And I was surprised to hear that this market actually runs throughout the year. I think it's the last Sunday of every month (does anyone know for sure?)

Have a great festival!

As Often as Possible!
by: Jeannie

Sure do, Pauline.

Julie's old enough now to spend weekends with us, at school holiday times. In the summer we had a really good day out, at the River Festival.

Were you there? They had these rides for kids, and this sort of harness thing attached to big springs. I swear this is true - they had to take their shoes off, they they went bouncing off into the sky!

My husband Kenneth could hardly look! But Julie had a blast, and thats what counts!

We took her to M & Ds at Strsthclyde Country Park. That was cool as well. I'm looking forward to the official Guy Fawkes fireworks, and the German Christmas market too.

The more I think about it, we're quite spoiled for great things to do, aren't we?

Yes, it is!!!
by: Jeannie

I can report that this years official guide lists the Crafts fair... See you there! We're taking Julie (our niece) this year.

I think she'll be hunting other things like her fairy doors. Bless her. I'll have to keep hold of her hand, she'll be so excited.
