FORGE arts and crafts fair.

FORGE, Sheffield.

We went to FORGE arts and craft fair in Sheffield this weekend, organised by Hallam Roses W.I., and brought to my attention by fellow Yorkshire blogger Emma from Oh Gosh blog. They were raising funds for their W.I. and Roundabout charity. There was plenty to see and it was great to support all the local talent. Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay long, as my little baby boy decided to have a little bit of a meltdown. I still managed to find some nice items to take home and grab some cake, as my husband frantically rocked and attempted to soothe my son.

FORGE, Sheffield.

There was such an array of baking that I struggled to decide what to buy. It all looked so delicious. We opted for some lovely moist chocolate cake, some flapjack and some white chocolate and Tobelerone brownie. I must admit I had a little nibble of the flapjack on the ride home, as I couldn't wait, but the rest was devoured with a nice cuppa when I got home. I thought it was only fair to give my hubby half a taste of them. All of the baked goods were so scrummy!

FORGE, Sheffield.

I got this adorable sock monkey (from the Ginger Zoo), a cute panda origami card (from Terrible Lizard) and a deep repair hair mask. (from Lovely cosmetics) The sock monkey and card are for my sister-in-law, but I got the hair mask for me. It has left my hair luxuriously smooth and silky. I cannot tell you how much I love the smell too, as it reminds me of going to the perfumery in Grasse, France, as a little girl. I'm going to investigate some of the other businesses, which I didn't get chance to peruse. A full list of stallholders is available here.

Well done to all involved for putting on such a lovely event!

What do you have planned for the weekend?

I'm hoping for a sneaky picnic if the weather isn't too bad. Maybe a rainy day picnic? I'll also be attending FORGE festival on Sunday and if I haven't pushed my luck with the hubby a little trip to the Curry Festival. 

Enjoy your weekend!
