Me and Beth decided to head to the Spring Fair at Bham NEC. Although it's a trade show we just you know went anyway. And it was amazing. There was a range of different sections, from homeware, stationary, childrens toys, contemporary gift and home, jewellery and accessories. We had a look around at most stuff but it was incredibly overwhelming to the point where me and Beth were just walking around at one point and not even taking anything in.. Anyway.
There were two seminars that we went to..
