DB Handmade fair

The sun was out and the temperature was just nice for a fair: Handmade Hong Kong at Discovery Bay. 

I must say that, despite it being called "handmade", most of the items were pretty high quality – not surprisingly, some of the vendors also sell in mainstream shops such as Dymocks.

I coveted these bean bags so much, especially seeing as you can personalise your covers, but our flat is way too small for one.

Aren't these earrings lovely? At HK$20, they make wonderful presents for nieces!

Frilly beanbags... can they get any cuter?

The piazza was packed because they were also having an Action Asia Triathlon.

It's hard to persuade Buffalo Wilbur into going for any fair with "handmade" in its name. He has nightmares of tackily assembled glue-gun craft on sale for a ludicrous amount.

Thankfully, we were at a bit of a loose end so I managed to drag him toHandmade HK's Backyard Bazaar at DB.

I'm glad we went because we scored lots of good stuff: homemade chutney, Milktop puddings, really cute baby clothes for our respective nieces and nephews...

There wasn't a single badly made tissue-box holder in sight.
