Topic: Cambridge Glass Fair 2012.~Brilliant weather, brilliant glass, brilliant day!

[rosieposie]

I was lucky enough to get to the Cambridge Glass Fair yesterday.  The weather was wonderful,  the glass exquisite and the people were warm, friendly and so enthusiastic. My only glitch was my camera that decided to go into 'Zoom' mode unasked,  so the last few stands in the big hall didn't get filmed.....I do hope someone will come up with other pictures to complete the record.

Thanks Rosie

Oh Rosie, wonderful!  Thank you.  :mrgreen:

Rosie, do contact Paul and Christina and tell them you have taken these photos.  (Christina asked me if we had taken any this time.  We usually do, but this time we didn't have our cameras, so there are just a few pics on Jonathan's phone.)  If you are willing, I'm sure they would love to see these!

Hi Leni.  lovely to meet you yesterday.......and to learn how to pronounce your name properly. 
Which Paul, and which Christina?  Let me know and I will happily let them know.

Rosie, thank you!  :kissy:  It's lovely to see what I've missed once more!  :cry:

Seriously, though, thanks, it looks like a super day.  :clap:

For anyone who wants to look at Rosie's pics easily, there is a little-known feature of the GlassGallery, called Slideshow. This means you can watch the pics without having to click your way through each of them: http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?album=956&pid=16041&slideshow=5000  :thup:

Hello Rosie,

It was great to meet you yesterday. So sorry I couldn't have a long chat; it's always good to natter about glass. I notice one very interesting piece amongst all those brilliant photos 

Kind wishes, Nigel

Hi Rosie,

Thank you for posting your photos taken at the fair on Sunday. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your visit and found some pieces to take home with you.

Paul and Christina.

Aha!  That Paul and Christina!!  Well THANK YOU,  it was a lovely day.....I was just so sorry that my camera decided to die on me.  I never did get to take a picture of the wonderful glass in the Foyer....it was too crowded round it when I arrived and when it was clearer at going home time,  the camera was dead.  
I spent far to much,  and now I have to buy a new camera as well.....this one will cost more to mend than replace!!
It was lovely to meet you too Nigel........now I just wonder which piece of glass you mean....are you biased by any chance??

JP,  thank you for introducing me to so many lovely people, and for the glass of water....nice to meet you at last and allow me to buy you lunch!!


Anne,  is it worth addidng that clever slideshow link to the start of this thread to save everyone trudging through the whole lot first?  If so,  please feel free to do so.

Anik, as soon as the camera is replaced or mended I will send you pics of my purchases...promise.

[Anik R]

Rosie, why don't you save yourself the burden of buying a new camera and just send me your new glassy purchases for my perusal?  I promise to be extra gentle...
