Birthday Treats!

A birthday in our house is always a time for treats and celebrations - well mine was no exception!  I was woken with presents including 2 boxes from my favourite potter - Emma Bridgewater!
I also finally got to wear the earings that I have spent all summer paying for, new slippers, smellies and gorgeous Cath Kidston treats - oh but that was just the beginning.......
I was whisked up the M5/M6 to the world of Emma B and treated to lunch in her fab new kitchen/cafe, a little bit of shopping was allowed (well it is my birthday!) and then onwards to Manchester.


Joy Serving Bowl
This is what I bought - I love it!
Why Manchester?  To see Peter Kaye Live of course and he didn't disapoint, I nearly passed out I laughed so much. We had a night in a fabulous Hotel, use of a complimentary bar and canapes, gorgeous breakie cooked by someone else and a night without the kids thanks to my mum.  What could be better?  I was spoilt and pampered and I loved every minute of it!
So it's been a while - lost my enthusiasm a little back there.  I have been busy booking Xmas fairs and events and as always making - want to see the latest project?



 I have always wanted to have a go at using wallpaper - pretty expensive if you make a mistake - but thankfully this has turned out perfectly.  I have painted this in Farrow & Ball Pointing and of course the paper is Cath Kidston Antique Rose, it is now listed on good ole Ebay so take a look.
See you soon, x

    Hi,

    I hope you're well. We are organising Ledbury's Vintage and Handmade Fair, to be held at Posterity (www.posterity.uk.com), based within the gorgeous Eastnor estate in Ledbury, Herefordshire. We are hoping it will be the kick start to many people's Christmas shopping, with an eclectic mix of stalls offering vintage home-wares and brilliantly quirky one-off pieces, and Posterity is the perfect antidote to the usual commercialised Christmas shopping experience!

    And, of course, Salvation (www.cafesalvation.blogspot.com) will be serving the scrummiest delights, not to mention Baynhams Christmas Spiced Cider, to see folk through the day...

    The Fair will be held on Saturday the 26th November. 10 - 6pm. A 6ft stall is £25. For more information regarding stalls, etc, please get in touch with either myself or David (emails above), or call us on: 01531 636380.

    Hope to speak to you soon,

    Best Wishes,
    Helen
