Ashridge- Chiltern Country Fair

What a joy, this is such an amazing place if you like the outdoors.

It was a real privilege to come here and be part of the Chilterns Country Fair, fantastic venue, as stall holders we were really well looked after. I met up with some people I enjoy spending time with- a great day!

There were a complete mix of craft people, as well as local flapjack makers and wine makers- both of which I've sampled and can recommend.

 

Then we had the more unusual....Ferret Man (with ferret racing) and Wild Men (cooking bread rolls with children on open fires).


 

This was my first big outdoor fair and I loved it. I was really pleased with how
everything looked, it made all the late nights and friends coming over and helping really worthwhile.
I had been really busy making and trying to make sure that I gave a broad view of what we could do with fibres. It's always really fascinating watching the faces of people when you show them the raw materials and then they see what can be made with it. I think this has to be the favourite bit for me.

There were lots of orders and lots of interest in the workshops, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

I had this smile all day.

Poppins Craft Market

What a lovely day yesterday, Tracy (my helpful assistant- who I pay in fibre) and I went to Poppins Craft Fair in Potten End. We were organised, we had time to set up the table and time for coffee and danish before the doors opened. Yum!


We met some lovely people, customers and other craft people. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

It was great to talk to everyone, lovely shared stories. Everyone seemed really interested in how the fibres come together to make the pieces on the table.

I am really looking forward to helping design the scarf for Ruth and her wedding season. She wants the 'wow factor', I think we can do that!

We had lots of interest in the workshops I am planning...watch this space....if want to be added to the mailing list, contact me
