The weather in Assynt today was perfect!  Blue, blue skies, and temperatures in the high teens.   Just the sort of weather to kick off the series of  .....Made in Assynt Artisan Fairs due to be held this summer in Lochinver.

Table space is limited, so I only took a small selection of yarns with me, but I seemed to pick all the right things and folk coming through the door were thrilled to see hand dyed yarn available in amongst the other high quality items on offer.



Do you like the new table runners?  These were made for me by my friend, Jacqui.  Thanks so much, JP.  They are perfect, especially for events such as today where there is nowhere to hang my banners.

To one side of me I had the company of Euan Callus, of Callus Art along with his wonderful photographs.



And next to him was the beautiful pottery of Fergus Stewart.



To the other side of me was the Little Soap and Candle Company.  I chose my table well, as all day I had the lovely aromas wafting across from Helen's stand.  Her soaps and candles really are something special.



I didn't get a chance to photograph all the stands, but here is a selection:

I am now going to take it very easy over this weekend.  I'm fighting a horrid cold, and I really need to get rid of it.
