The Selvedge Spring Fair

Good morning everyone and firstly, Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you are enjoying a splendid weekend, yesterday morning I travelled to London for the Selvedge Spring Fair, so thought I would fill you all in on all the day's events.

My day began at 4am, leaving the house at 5am bound for the big smoke.  It was my first expedition driving all the way to London and on my own too, I was a little nervous to say the least. However I managed to keep my eyes open and made it to St Augustine's Church Hall with plenty of time to spare before setting up for the day, even managing a small nap in the car before unloading!

We had a couple of hours to set up before Polly declared the Spring Fair officially 'open'! I've added some new bits and bobs to the display of my stand and I was pleased with how it all looked as the fair-goers arrived at 10 o'clock.

Aprons, tea towels and egg cosies all went down brilliantly and I am so relieved, as you never quite know how things are going to go. The hall was decorated beautifully, including hand made paper pom-poms hanging from the ceiling, it was quite a display! I met so many lovely people throughout the day and even put a lot of twitter names to faces too. Fortunately my tiredness didn't get the better of me and I had a sneaky can of energy drink on hand to see me through the drive home :) 

I'd like to say a very big Thank You to all the Selvedge ladies (and gentlemen!) who worked so hard to make the fair happen x

Mother's Day is on the way...

With Mother's Day just under 3 weeks away I thought it was time to put my thinking cap on and to collage together a selection of lovely gifts for you all!

So with all wonderful mothers in mind take your pick from aprons and tea cosies, to tea towels and napkins (many of which co-ordinate beautifully together too).

// take a peek over on my website for many more Mother's Day treats //

Mother's Day Collage (top): linen 'coffeeee' cosies, wine glasses cotton shopper, spotty cupcake tea towel, natural cupcakes apron.

Mother's Day Collage (bottom): white 'croissant' napkins, linen 'marmalade' tea towels, natural union jack tea cosy & co-ordinating natural union jack cushion, set of 4 egg cosies.

The Sunday Post

With the Selvedge Spring Fair only 3 weeks away (and of course Mother's Day also a mere 3 weeks away!) it was lovely to read a blog post by Holly Becker on 'decor8' about the fair and listing the exhibitors with links to their shops too. Have a peep if you get a moment... http://decor8blog.com/ it's such a lovely blog.  

Following on from last week's 'Sneak Peek' here are a couple of photos of the finished articles... Benjamin egg cosies! Available as a lovely set of 3 or individually, and you can choose from a spotty, hearts or stripey neck-tie :-) bring on Easter I say! x
