I have still to add price tags to all the new things I have been making and there are still a few unfinished bits that may or may not get finished today…

Have just made an extremely long list of all the stuff I need to take… probably forgotten something though and will be adding more to it throughout the day.

I mananged to update my trellis the other week with chicken wire and a plain cream fabric – the staple gun queen! Who needs a man when you have a staple gun and a pair of wire cutters…. Having said that putting the gazebo up and down is another matter!! Have just added camera to my list of things to take so I can get a pic while I am there.. knew I would be adding things all day!!

It would be great to see you if you are in the area – come over and say hi!!

As I was being a bit ’special’ some nice people helped…

Was very pleased with the way it went – sold quite a few things and will now be doing October, November and December – maybe I won’t stress so much next time!! Having said that I am sure I will…

I took a photo of my stall but next time will be a bit different… someone suggested putting chicken wire on there and jute or something similar behind – when I tested it out and took photos my plain cream curtains were the background – slightly different from a shop window!!


Have spent today updating the website – still only half way there but there is still quite a lot of new stuff. Maybe I will be able to get a lot of photos done tomorrow and get the rest of the website updated!!

Very boring! At the moment it is looking good for today so hopefully by this evening I will have lots of photos …then I just have to edit them and add them to the website.

I  did manage to finish painting them eventually and they have now been decorated. Just need to get some photos of them so they can go on the website….
