Highbury Christmas Fair

My Favourites

Some of my favourite stallholders from the Highbury Christmas Fair

I can't wait to receive my daughters fingerprint preserved in a little silver flower. This was an interesting experience as the fingerprint is done into soft silver and then sent off. Apparently delivery takes about 2 weeks. Photos to follow…

Christmas and Halloween

It's been a while since must last update but between work and my personal life things have been busy!

The Christmas Fair went well on the 19th and 20th despite the terrible weather conditions people did come and support the stallholders. There was a great variety of stalls too. In a follow up post I will be listing some of my favourite stallholders.

Trick or Treating at the Heritage Market was a blast even though the weather was less than ideal. Kids will be kids and mine didn't even notice the rain/drizzle/mist and instead says "Mom, Halloween is the best!"

Despite not having a clue as to what Halloween is. To her it was a day to walk around with mom and nana while collecting sweets from various shops all while dressed up as a ghost!

Have a look at some of the photos on the Heritage Market Facebook page here for a giggle

Sorry this isn't the most exciting update but I promise when we move things will shape up! Moving date is set for Sunday the 4th of Novemeber...YIPPEE!!

TGIF

It's Friday after a whole week of miserable Hillcrest weather with a weekend of grotty weather forecast ahead...

Nothing planned for the weekend except to continue packing up our house.

The next two weekends in Hillcrest are looking exciting!

On the 19th and 20th, Highbury is hosting their annual Christmas Fair. Following that I am looking forward to taking my daughter to the Heritage Market's Halloween Hunt. This will be her first experience of Halloween and dressing up in a serious outfit fit for such an occasion. I am debating between a Hawaiian outfit or a sailor (things I already  have...)
