that stripy dress is gorgeous, I want it to hehe. Love the look of this book festival, I love reading second hand books, a. it's cheaper and 2. it's fascinating to think where the book has been before (a bit like vintage clothing). This weekend I was on the look out for an old copy of much ado about nothing and I'm forever looking for an original penguin classic of the beach. Anyway, looks like you had a lovely day out, my uncle lives in Hereford but I've never been!

Looks like you had a great time. I love the photos. There's something about being in a traditional book shop - I could lose hours in one! x

Lovely photos. I've never been to Hay or Hereford. My friend lives in Hereford so I have the perfect excuse to go and should use it one day!

Those dresses are all gorgeous! I want the flowery one xx

All of this looks fantastic. I was in York last year and I got to have a cream tea as well. My research is on York and Chester and their medieval cycle drama. I always love seeing the little carved devil Titivilus on top of old English book shops. Titivilus was the devil of words and people in early print culture would blame him for errors in the type. Then because he was such a pervasive figure, he became the symbol of the trade. Look for him next time your at a really old bookshop. Probably too much information, but I love this stuff, lol. That stripe-y dress is fantastic! I want one now! www.curvycanadian.blogspot.com

Sounds like a great way to spend a day out. I've been lucky enough to go to a vintage fair over this bank holiday, shame about the weather but a brilliant experience and a great band playing.

I love those dresses from Dorothy Perkins especially the floral and the spotty one.

Considering it is so close to me I am surprised that I have never been to Hay-on-Wye! Those dresses are lovely, the print is fab! :)

I love the spotty dress! I've just been paid, but I'm trying to save :( I have to ay I'm jealous of your cream tea as they are my most favourite thing in the world! Ha!

Really nice photos! I looooove bookshops, I shouldn't ever go to one, because I can rarely go out without buying something. :D

I think the third dress is really pretty, I would consider buying it too, if I hadn't just ordered a dress from asos.com. :)

Sounds like a lovely trip - afternoon tea is the best :) Sally x

Lovely dresses. I would love to get there - one day!

Looks like such a lovely day out! Very jealous of that scone, I've been craving them loads recently but you can't get them in Austria :( Might just have to make some I think!

Thos dresses are all adorable, and so reasonably priced! Dorothy perkins has kind of fallen off my "fashion radar" recently, but now I think I'll go and have a nose on the website!
