I'm not too keen on craft fairs but Missus Moonbase is so I do visit them with her.
I usually get round the stalls quite quickly and then stand at the entrance rather awkwardly. I've nothing against crafts. They're just not my cup of tea although I do appreciate the time and effort put into them.
At one such fair in Helmsley on Saturday, stopping off whilst en-route home from the Moors, I saw perhaps the strangest crafted item I'd seen, at least at first sight: a rather nice metal Dalek zip fastener.
I first thought they were for trouser flies and wondered who would want a dalek dangling down there, but then I normalised and realised they were for zips on hold-alls, rucksacks and sweatshirts etc.
At a pound each I should have got one but my craft fair legs were already taking me out of the room.
My Missus was telling me she has similar twitchy legs when I drag her to toy fairs!
Do you like craft fairs and would you wear a dangling dalek?
I like craft fairs and already have the said Dalek zip toggles.
ReplyDeleteThey were a Christmas present and are on one of my jackets, main zip and pocket zips.
They occasionally illicit comments from random Who fans.
Excellent Mish! I did think that Who fans would like them!
