Maude, Virginia and Hyacinth

I have been so busy getting ready for the British Craft Trade Fair at Harrogate that I realise I have neglected my blog.  So I may be writing this to myself as you will all have left me (and I have no-one but myself to blame!)

Anyway for anyone who is out there I thought I would introduce you to three of my new fairies. Meet (from left to right) Maude, Virginia and Hyacinth. Here they sit on gorgeous vintage tins.  I am really pleased with them. They will travel with me up to Harrogate and then be available to purchase at the Spring Vintage and Handmade Fair in Chipping Sodbury on 9th April.  

I am just working on some lovely silk brooches which I hope will be ready to bring along to V&H and more framed fairies are getting their passports in order so that they won't be left out!

So BCTF is in TWO WEEKS! And I am getting really nervous - excited but scared.  Once I have set up I am sure I will be fine. It's just remembering everything!! My brain is well and truly scrambled! My dear friend Valleri has agreed to come along and help which is brilliant. (Thanks Valleri)

Another dear friend, Gilly Mound, has a gorgeous exhibition on at Blue-Ginger Gallery, Nr Cradley, Herefordshire. Check out her website www.gillymound.co.uk.  They also have a small selection of my clocks there too.

Anyway, nice to be back! Will try not to leave it as long next time!

Thermals at the Ready!!

The girls and I are getting ready for our last two Craft Fairs of 2010.  These take place in the centre of Hereford this weekend - Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th December. Thermals are at the ready to protect us all from Jack Frost!!  Apparently there will be an ice rink there too! (An official one that is!) I've checked the weather forecast and Saturday says it will be a balmy 7 degrees!!

It's been really great meeting so many of you "in the flesh" over the last few weeks and I must say thank you to my helpers, Nicky and, of course Evie. Please do come along and say Hello if you possibly can over the weekend.  Plus it's a great chance to buy something completely different for your Christmas pressies.

Plus don't forget to sign up to my mailing list to be in with a chance of winning a fabulous Fairy Calendar!

Cheerio! x

Two new friends!

Clarice loves to be in the garden and, apart from the flowers, her most favourite thing in the garden is the garden swing!

Her favourite colour is rose pink.

Polly, on the other hand, just LOVES to dance.

When she grows up she would like to be a professional dancer like Darcey Bussell

She likes to practice her twirls - but in private so you'll have to be looking VERY CAREFULLY if you want to see her actually do a twirl!

Should you wish to get to know these charming fairies they are available to buy via my website
