feast






We went to the very first West Norwood Feast yesterday. Apparently the area is going to become a festival of pop-up culture once a month and given it's easy to get to, it may be quite the place to go.

There are four themed markets in various parts of the main high road; Gardeners' Corner, Artisans' Market, Food Fair and Retro Village. It's there that I bought this vintage plate cake stand. Like pick 'n' mix there was a selection of plates to choose from, all with holes punched in the centre, so you could make up your own. I only found two plates I liked but bought a drill bit to add a third layer whenever I want. That was a lot of fun!


Did you have a good weekend too?

    Oh that looks to be a fab market! Love the cake stand - particularly that bottom plate. Just bought a cake stand of my own from ebay. Of course that now means baking cakes and trying not to eat them... C.x

    I hope you have some old plates to practise on before you go drilling holes in your favourite china!!
    That bottom plate is so pretty.

    I love the idea of being able to pick your own plates and have them turned into a cake stand. Sounds like it's going to be a great event every month x

    After a 3 month winter break, the Feast is back and its bigger and better than ever! The sun was shinning and the music was playing, if you didn't make it don't worry the next one is on 6th May 10am-4pm. I run the make your own cake stand stall and it would be great to see you there.

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
