Holmfirth Art Market

Good morning . After recovering from a very busy Art Market at the weekend I am now on with commissions for Christmas and orders . Some places have run out of my angels and fairies already ! Thought you may like to meet our cat Daisy, this is her sitting pretty at breakfast this morning

These are a couple of pictures of my stand at Holmfirth taken just after I had set up ready for the market to open .I have to thank my dear friend Lynne for all her help. I left the angels in her capable hands.

During the weekend I met lots of new talented artist's/makers, caught up with old friends and my family came along to which was so nice. Sold lots and made friends with new clients. It was a bit chilly but I soon forgot about that when I got into my gift wrapping mode.  I look forward to the next event.

Gosh November Already !

Back from a fantastic break in Bath . Ahead this weekend is the Art Market at Holmfirth. All ready to head off tomorrow with a Landy full of new work.  We were visiting my son who is studying at uni there. Lots of lovely independent shops to explore,countless yummy places to eat and lots of glorious architecture to feast your eyes on here's a little of what we discovered ....
