Hello My Friend!

As the title suggests I'm back from my trip to England, or more precisely from Hampton Court in Surrey, the county where I was born.. for all you lovely ladies that have just joined my newsletter list, you can find out a bit more about me here in this article: https://bit.ly/2NKdXzK

I had a stand at the HandMade Fair, created and organised by Kirstie Allsop, who is a well known Tv presenter and known crafter. Well I've never attended such a show and met so many lovely stitchers!

The atmosphere was wonderful and we didn't feel like we were working at all! I wish everyday could be like that!

Here is a mini visit for you to follow our adventure!

Then the public arrived! 18000 visitors over 3 days, all happy, enthusiastic and with a smile on their faces! We really enjoyed ourselves and the I think the visitors did too..the stands were very attractive and top notch quality.

The workshops were full, and a great atmosphere reigned everywhere!

One workshop I spied on

Here they Come!

There was even a couple of choirs and a band all weekend!

I was so happy to meet some lovely stitchers and meet up with some already met through the internet.. It was a great experience thanks to all!
