My youngest had another Birthday...
17 today!
She had to perform in her school's cabaret for three evenings (including her Birthday).
Her main piece was singing a duet...
A song from 'Oh What a Lovely War', which she will be performing in proper, early next year.

I've had a busy week in the shop with the run-up to Christmas...
So I've been regularly changing the displays...
and bringing in more stock as items have sold.

I had handmade items to get on with last week too...
I managed to make three of my medium sized rag dolls.
This is Isla in her recycled Fair Isle sweater.

Saturday evening was party time for our daughter...
It was fancy dress with an under-the-sea theme.

And then an early start yesterday...It was time to be off to Chipping Sodbury for the Vintage & Handmade Fair.
It was a busy fair and great to meet up with lots of friends again...
My thanks to all who stopped by to say hello and who made a purchase or two. x

A gorgeous one-of-a-kind necklace from the very talented Viv...
And I bought several pieces from Louise Taylor-Bowen, but can't show those on my blog, as they are to be Christmas pressies...and you never know who might be peeking! ;-))
Tomorrow is 'D-day' for my hubby...Thanks for all your well wishes, he appreciates your kindness.
Have a great week,

I was at the Fair on Saturday but I didn't realise you were you, if you know what I mean. I would have loved to have said hello, though I remember your stall of lovely things. It was a great day. Helen x
