Partly this is because recently I've been on days out with family and friends and haven't taken my camera along, but I've also fallen slightly behind with editing my photos (tsk tsk). So, there will be a few Nice Day Out flashbacks popping up on my blog over the coming weeks as I finally edit my photos and share some of my not-yet-blogged trips from the past few months.
First up: in November I took a trip to East London to visit the Renegade Craft Fair. Renegade is always amazing, with over 200 talented designer/makers and artists selling their fabulous wares and soooo many tempting handmade and indie-designed treats on offer.
It was lovely to see lots of familiar faces (including the always awesome Floss & Mischief, Made by Mrs M, & Debbie Greenaway) but also to discover some new-to-me sellers... and to be able to shop in person from some of the makers whose work I admire every time it pops up in my Twitter feed.
Here are some snaps of just a few of the things that caught my eye this year...
