Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather we are having in the UK at the moment..
I feel like I have been neglecting my blogging and I have but I'm here now anyway I have done my usual fortnightly market and still very slow customer wise I think everyone had gone to the beach and I honestly don't blame them this weather doesn't usually last for long does it?
I also did a garden fete on saturday very English it was set in the most beautiful grounds and gardens with a lovely old manor house I thought I had died and gone to heaven as the peeps running the show couldn't help me enough..when I got there at midday it was roasting and I was led to my table and gazebo which was there set up and just waiting for me to put my stuff on!I got help with bringing my boxes out of the car and straight to my table was this really happening! to say I was over the moon was an understatement and wish all craft fairs could be like that but hey dream on ha ha....the people were very friendly and had lots of money to spend and praised my soaps none stop (I have also made bath bombs and lip balms which also went down well) I have got bookings for autumn fairs and another booking for July so a great day all round my biggest regret was I forgot the camera grr I really wanted to show you this paradise it's always the way though never mind I will be back next year for that event !

  1. Oh, the weather is absolutely wonderful here - and a long weekend too AND The Chelsea Flower Show on TV! Life doesn't get much better than this. Loved your tale of the Manor house garden fete. Shame there are not photos, but you will take some next year. I could just picture it though!

  2. Hi, Edith! So glad to hear that the markets are going well and that you've got more lined up for autumn. The manor house at the garden fete sounds lovely - I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of it next year! :)

  3. Thanks girls! I wasn't very happy when I found out I had left my camera as you really would have loved the pictures it was one of those places that you had to be there to appreciate just how pretty it was and to get the help with setting up as well...
    Ambra those gardens at the Chelsea flower show look amazing I love the one with the canal lock!

  4. Edith. Yes I do too. I lived in Bradford for a year while studying, so I the locks are for me like home. Just love them. I went throught the 5 locks in Bingley (I think it was Bingley). It was fun. I also love the Laurent Perrier one, although I thought it was even better last year.

  5. That does sound like heaven. Sounds like you have been a very busy bee. I am sure that all your work will really pay off.
