As the days get cooler and darker, it comes up to craft fair season again...
Of course there are craft fairs and events all year round, but this time of year is always particularly busy if you love looking at handmade jewellery and other crafts. Goldsmiths Fair (on at the moment) is always the start of the season for me - and a great event to visit if you have the time, not least, to see the ornate insides of the Goldsmiths Hall!
Here are some of my favourites to visit - around London, as that is where i am - if you know of others - do message or add a comment so they can add to the list!
