Lost Trades Fair

Saturday we went up to Kyneton and met Robyn and Phil at the Fair, they left before us, we wanted a slower start to the day!! It was an amazing collection of people making things in the old way---of interest to me there was felting, and spinning and weaving, one lady was promoting hand sewing, which I didn't think was a lost trade but there you go!! It was very hot and sunny and BUSY!!!

guitar making happening here

and harps

this lady was making a floor rug, something I would like to try one day,

the lady behind the pipe organ..

played a hurdy gurdy

this was the carved head of the instrument, isn't it beautiful??

this man was demonstrating a sewing machine for sewing strips of carpet together, I think it was used in the early 1900's 

lovely old sewing machine

and old singer set up 

and this lady was working on a very old spinning wheel, which was very different form any I had seen before.

After the fair we wandered back to Bullengarook and stopped at the Perry's place

had  a play with her beautiful dogs

Getting a group shot was like trying to herd cats..hubby was not helping!! lol!!
