Tree and I chose to go to the Fayre at Ludlow and see if it was all that it is cracked up to be. We had thought of working this one, but were too late to apply. The layout within the castle grounds was well put together, ensuring everyone was under cover, and had representatives of most crafts. However, Tree and I were not overly impressed by the "Medieval" side to the fayre. Most people had not made much effort to get into the theme of the day and everything looked a bit last minute. But then we went into the side arena and found a couple, called Bryan and Donna, who make ceramic dragons, fay and mystic sculptures. Their work ranges from the fantastic to the humourous. The "smelly butts" incense burners are brilliant. You light an incense cone underneath a bottom, sticking up in the air, and you can guess where the smoke comes out! Needless to say, we bought loads of wholesale stock and found they were people after our own hearts. Bryan has a problem with pricing and Donna sorts out all the negotiating. Who do they sound like? Definitely worth a trip to the shop to see the work we bought.
