Llanerchaeron Christmas Fair... National Trust 2015

A girly day out .

Welcomed by carol singers

and they were really good.

Staff dressed in Victorian dress

Lots of rooms of the main court yard

filled with other stalls 

Two weeks ago Little Miss, my friend and her little girl went to Llanerchaeron a National Trust property .  It was nice to be the other side of a stall table and wander about although it was very cold.

Some stalls were situated in a small tented area and the property had lots of rooms off a large courtyard, these also were filled with stalls.  This was a bit we found tricky as the rooms were quite small and dark and Little Miss didn't like going into them as they obviously got busy as the fair is well publicised .  Some people
were pushing to get in and out of the rooms and it all got a bit much to be honest at times so instead we had a wander in the less crowded areas and just enjoyed looking around in the house.

Of course we had to see Santa

then

inside the house

The room was a little dark but 

the table was dressed for Christmas dinner.

It was beautiful..

I loved this dresser..

On the top shelf was a box of Kilner jars going back

"Donkeys years" 

Then time for a coffee and a 

little wander

 outside

The grounds were so nice 

I think this must of been the old orangery 

Beautiful vegetable gardens

The house has a working farm 

and a lake but it was 

too cold to explore more, 

we will be back on a better day. 

I bet it will be a lovely place

To visit in Spring.

Little Miss decided 

to spend some of 

her saved pocket money on these

Now  one has a red scarf  and I need to 

make the other one too... 

These were actually in the 

National Trust shop.

We bought a few edible gifts

but I forgot to photograph these 

before they 

were wrapped and posted.

The children have now broken up,

I did a bit of  Christmas food shopping today

and the shops were not as busy

as I thought they would be.

One week to go !

I am hoping to get some more of 

the red and white 

quilt stitched 

this weekend......

I found some plain fabric to back

The Christmas panel

hopefully that will be 

ready to show next time.

See you soon.
