6am: Mom picks me up from DBF's and off we go to Calais to take the shuttle to England, and... the Knitting and Stitching show in Alexandra Palace !
10am: We managed to be there at opening time. Long toilet queues, loads of people, loads of stuff to see and buy... The usual !
Less papercraft stands, and more beads. A good part of quilting, knitting and stitching... And beautiful things in the exposition part, wonderful quilts and such.
As shown on the picture, I got a lot of stuff. Threads for the Halloween fairy and Tinkerbell, Little House Needleworks, Lizzie Kate, Waxing moon patterns, fabrics, tatting books, Mill Hill snowmen kits...
2pm: We drive back to Folkestone. Shopping, tea, fish and chips and a tour at the beach ! The weather was wonderful, a true Indian Summer... A wonderful very long day from 6am to 22.30pm !!!
----------------------------
6h du mat: maman me prend chez DBF, et en avant pour Calais, le shuttle et l'Angleterre !!!
10h du mat: Nous avons réussi à arriver à l'ouverture du Knitting and Stitching Show à Alexandra Palace.
Et là, comme d'habitude, plein de monde, de jolies choses à voir et à acheter, de longues files aux toilettes... Et voilà ce que j'en ai rapporté:
Les fils manquants pour Halloween fairy et Tinkerbell, des modèles Little House Needleworks, Lizzie Kate, Waxing moon, de la toile, des livres de frivolité, des kits Mill Hill...
14h: On se dirige vers Folkstone, pour achats, thé, "fish and chips" et... la mer !
Somme toute, une très longue journée (6h du mat à 22h30 !!!), superbe temps d'été indien, c'était super !!!
