Finds of the Fair 14th August 2011

We've kept the Finds of the Fair in the family this month, with co-organiser Alan's daughter, Kat Lowe, stepping in at the last minute to take on the task.

Despite being poorly, she really threw herself into the job and we've had to edit her picks down a little bit or we'd be here all day!

In her own words: "I am a recent graduate at the University of Leeds studying English Lit and History, but continuing with a research MA in History. I suppose I'm a self-proclaimed history geek with a love of anything Shakespeare (as you can see in the pictures!) and I am very much into music and cinema, Leeds night life and anything cat related!"

Our grateful thanks to Kat for saving the day. Now please enjoy her marvellous selections.
