PPP: Fred Aldous Visit

At first you don't succeed.. try again! Fred Aldous had a weekend event for their 1st Birthday In Leeds, I awoke on the saturday an early bird ready to get my hands on some delicious free art goodies, when me and Becky got down there at a modest 9:20am, a line had already began to wind itself around the shop. We joined it regardless, hoping that we would be numbers 49 and 50 (first 50 to spend over £10 got a goodie bag filled with over £60 worth). As we madly scrambled to buy something and join the queue I began to realise that it was going to be close, in the end I was number 51. We left disheartened but not defeated!
We went back the next morning earlier and with less people getting up early on a sunday morning meant we had more time to browse and each got a box.



Half of the reason I decided to do this was because.. who doesn't love free stuff? but the second reason was getting to sample things that I had wanted to buy but couldnt afford was good. We got lots of things in the pack, the leuchturm was a really nice notepad that I currently use to plan my time in. We got 2 different notepads, both quality were quite nice (and I will be buying again). Some of the pens were really nice and smooth as well and made some good lines so I will buying more of those in the future!
