Ally Pally
October 1st, 2006Two years ago when I went to the Big Stamp show at Alexandra Palace, I absolutely hated it, the crowds, the pushing and shoving and the ignorant people climbing over me. You’d be forgiven for thinking that these women (and I’m sorry to say it was mainly women) had never shopped or seen craft materials before! This is the reason I have given the show a wide berth since then. Even when the lovely Paula mentioned meeting up there on Sunday, I wasn’t convinced, but eventually I decided to give it a try, I could always leave if it was awful, after all.
I was really pleasantly surprised at what a good time I had. I was relatively restrained when it came to shopping (for me, anyway), there seemed to be far less people there, and I got to hang out with Paula and Stef. Idon’t know it it was the environment or the good company, but I had a really enjoyable time 
It’s funny, I somehow managed not to buy any stamps at all, and saw a few really good demos.
