I saw some of those shops on my walk back to the station and thought "I must remember to look those up when I get home" and promptly forgot all about it. I will def try and do some crafty shopping next time I visit the city :)Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-36799291012293470882014-04-23T20:04:32.608+01:002014-04-23T20:04:32.608+01:00There's a lovely patchwork/quilting focused sh...There's a lovely patchwork/quilting focused shop called Country Threads, a wool shop almost opposite it called something like Wool, and then The Makery further up in town. The Makery has recently moved, hopefully to somewhere bigger. There's also The Guildhall Market which has haberdashery and an amazing jewellery shop, and the Vintage & Antiques market at Green Park Station was rather lovely when I went.Dichohechohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531475574269492154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-81040929695497819972014-04-14T13:12:43.432+01:002014-04-14T13:12:43.432+01:00Paula - yes, Bath is lovely but quite pricey!

Sadly the house prices there were way too high for me so back home to Wales I came. I love living in Wales but I try to get back to Bath once a year at least. My favourite place there is The American Museum up at Claverton Down. If you haven't been there I heartily recommend it.

I always try and see as much as I can, especially on these further-away days out as the train fare is so pricey, gotta make the most of it! <br /><br />The Art Pass is proving to have been an excellent purchase, I'm seeing lots of places I otherwise wouldn't have visited which is great.<br /><br />Katie - it is a beautiful city. The textile museum is well worth a visit! The house isn't one of Dickens, though, it just reminded me of the way the Dickens museum is set up in London :)<br /><br />TroubleAndStrumpet - I totally agree! I lived very near Bath for almost a decade and only used to visit for a bit of shopping now and then, never to just enjoy the city or to see the touristy sights.
