Hi everyone, I attended my first Salon de la creation a'laguille in Dordogne France on Monday and what a wonderful day we had, I have taken some photos to show you the beautiful cross stitch on display and purchased a few items.
We packed up the motorhome ready for our long journey but it was a lovely sunny day and we saw beautiful scenery along the way.
How beautiful is this box? I have always wanted to stitch this design because it is so pretty!
I loved this pretty stall, they had lots of gorgeous cross stitch designs and accessories.
I love these gorgeous wood items for finishing designs.
Here is a photo of their leaflet, they have a shop and you can also purchase over the internet.
These are the things I purchased.
I only recently found this designer, Cuore e Batticuore, she designs the most beautiful cross stitch patterns, you can check out her blog here where you can see a link to her Etsy shop.
I treated myself to some Sajou threads.
Visiting this shop is on my list of things to do but whenever I go to Paris I always forget to visit!
Check out their shop in Paris, it is really lovely.
Just had to have these buttons!
Love this mini photo frame
I certainly arrived back home inspired!
Until next time, happy stitching!
Oh my goodness, Lynn! I would have gone bonkers at the show! It looks so lovely....and how inspiring!

Oh my goodness, so much eye candy! I would love every minute it. The wooden buttons are adorable. I'd love to find those here in the US. Thanks for sharing all the pictures; so much inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo different to a show in the UK! You've shown and purchased some beautiful pieces. I admire how restrained you were with your purchases as no doubt you would have liked much much more! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, what an experience to be able to visit this show and to see close up and personal all of these beautiful stitched pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love the French style of stitching and have a few books.
Even more amazing would be to visit the Sajou shop in Paris and see all the gorgeous items there. I love their scissors although am not lucky enough to own any.
