On the 26th February we exhibited at our first wedding fair of the year with the fabulous organisers Bristol Vintage. I will talk about wedding fairs and shows sometime in the future and I have to say that this was one of the best from an exhibitors point of view.
I stupidly left the card out of my camera but we had a really great day. Many Many Thanks to Ali from Bristol Vintage!

Bristol Zoo
Well, the Bristol Zoo Pavilion was a stunning venue, light, impressive and screaming of period grandeur with crystal chandeliers and high high ceilings. They also have the best carpet I have ever seen, leopard spotted!

At the fair we were positioned in between some amazing ladies. I had seen Sheena Hollands work before at vintage fairs but this was the first time I got to really look close up at the sparkling, jewelled delights that Sheena had designed. Jaw droppingly, want inducing. I fell in love with the green feather hairband and most of the day I was distracted (whilst speaking to people) at the twinkling pieces as people kept trying them on across the room. Thankfully she has an online shop as she travelled all the way down from Derby. I've got some saving to do as I don't think I could buy just one! Take a look in here shop here

On the other side of our stand was the beautiful Athena of Meticulous Ink, Bath. I firstly noticed Athena's beautiful curly hair with a huge corsage which left me feeling very jealous that I cut my hair off! But when I went to say hello and looked down onto the table to see some of the best hand pressed, stationary I have ever seen. You have to see their website to get it and if you happen to be handed a business card, it's something to treasure. It is really wow factor in weight, texture, the raised gold logo, the varnished lettering, perfect spacing.
I love my business card design but this is another world in terms if paper stock and is exactly what they say, Meticulously fine design and printing. Take a look at their website here. They have an etsy shop too just so you can buy a little of the quality.
Note: I know I get excited about things easily but I am in all honesty very hard to please, especially when it comes to the way things look. I expect the very best talent from people and I just don't talk about the rest. So these Friday Friends are people and businesses that I think really are something very, very special indeed.
