What was the parking like? We were rather spoilt at the motorcycle museum, even when there was also a coin fair and an Indian wedding

Parking was off site, local residential street for us.

The venue itself was a bit small, little room in the aisles but that did make for a more intimate setting.

Video of the glass fair, think there will be more vids posted on the you tube site Love Decanters as he edits the footage he has.

It sounds wonderful and I'm feeling a little bit envious of everyone meeting up :)  Christine I remember the wedding day!  It was fabulous.  Mind you I also got lost (even with friend in tow doing the directions) and almost ended up touring Coventry  before finding the Motorcycle museum.

Suzy they are fab purchases.  I love the Karlin Rushbrooke piece best but the iow perfume top pic is beautiful.

Thanks so much for the video link :)  really lovely to watch.

 ;D I remember the wedding and the coin collector who joined us at lunchtime to see what it was we were all up to.  8)
And Christine, having to drive back afterwards as the sun goes down, it shining directly into her eyes, making the drive back an absolute nightmare for her after the exciting day, while I got to admire all the Powelly opalescent glass colours in the sky.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.

I bought some lovely Stevens and Williams alabaster at that fair.  So did friend.  Hers are glorious lidded pots, one puce and one yellow.  Gorgeous.
