~Airing of the Quilts at Braidwood~


Last weekend Mr Armchair and JoJo and I went up to the historic village of Braidwood for their annual Quilt Event incorporating Airing of the Quilts


We parked outside this little place around the corner from the main road


Quilts in various windows on the street


I just had to have one of the Eiffel Tower olive oils from Laurel Brae


Quilts airing on the verandahs



This one was used as a tablecloth for Christmas goodies





A lovely little shop 'Little Finch' selling handmade goods


Check out the Christmas bunting here hanging in the window
looks suspiciously like Anni Downs fabric!!!
(please correct me if I am wrong as I have not seen this before)
And yes of course we had to buy some bunting























A lovely day out
and all too soon we ended up back at our starting point




Back home and here is the bunting all together in it's little box
The one that caught JoJo's eye is the one with the candy canes and yes Jennifer (at Little Finch) went through the boxes to find that specific one for her......
Thanks so much Jennifer!!!
