If you intend visiting the fair, I look forward to meeting you.

And for those unable to visit, I will be updating my on-line shop sometime in June.
Finally, I was recently interviewed by Dawn Supina for her blog 'Art of Humungous Proportions' - If you are interested in reading it, you will find it here.
Have a lovely weekend,
