Falmouth Oyster Festival & Christmas Decorations!

Hello! Well I'm still alive, just, having made it through the four day marathon 13th-16th October that was the Oyster Festival. I know I'm probably over exaggerating but it was pretty exhausting selling my wares, looking happy and chatting 10-6pm each day as well as putting up and packing down at the start and end of the event.
Hey I shouldn't complain it was a great event kicked off with no other than Tim Anderson -the winner of this years Masterchef- he even walked past my stall-alas I wasn't quite on the ball to offer him one of my fishy tea-towels... oh well next time I'll be ready! The Festival had allsorts of activities including cookery demos- which produced delicious smells and of course Oyster Shucking!




Here are some photos (sorry mostly of my stall) to give you an idea of the space and even one of me - a rather enthusiastic volunteer from Falmouth's Maritime Museum eagerly offered to take my picture- it was rather early in the morning and I didn't feel like putting up a fight! There were two main spaces one for the arts and crafts and the other for the cookery demos and food and drink stalls. The event was well attended by locals and visitors and definitely had a great atmosphere. 


me and my cheesy grin!

I also took the opportunity to show/sell some of my newly screen-printed christmassy plush decorations and christmas cards.  They'll soon be available to buy online as well as in a few local shops in and around Falmouth.  Over the next couple of weeks I'll be preparing for more fairs as well as updating stock and website so make sure you pop by to see the changes.  Thanks for following!

Doodlers Corner!


I recently had a little interview over on the 'I need curtains for the windows in my head' blog in the doodlers corner. Maintained by the wonderfully chatty Jules Young she shares and posts regularly on all sorts of interesting topics ranging from book recommendations to news and favourite items of clothes.  What I like most about the blog is her openness- it does feel as if you're right there with her as she discovers and shares her finds.

Peace to you




Been getting ready for Christmas with a new range of screen-printed cards over the last week- although it has felt a bit premature with the weather we are having! Here's just a glimpse of the scenes from the garage last week- as you can see Peace reigns (excuse the pun)! I've been quite excited about printing on card and particularly Hairy Manilla-the brown eco-friendly card above. This range will include 7 different designs on a variety of recycled cards-including ribbed brown card and a flash of scarlet. Looking forward to showing you the rest soon.
