Almost Christmas

Christmas shopping

So I managed it, two venues here at the shop and The Hepwoth Gallery Wakefield. Both Sat and Sun with enough hats and accessories to stock Macy's. As it had been my shop's anniversary the week before I really wasn't sure I could pull it off but with help from my interns Evangeline and Yessica, plus my sister who came to look after the shop and knitted like a lunatic.Gorgeous Merino beanies by the dozen.

But all went well the Winter Fair was wonderful and I met many lovely talented people as well as lots of lovely people who came and spent their money on a range of delightful stalls.

So now it's the last week before the Christmas rush so I am finishing off orders as quick as I can and adding to the stock in the shop.Sherry at the ready for the weekend.!

In other news after searching for a very long time for a stockman mannequin I found one in a new shop that has opened a few doors down from me so I purchased it popped it under my arm and walked it back to the shop.What a find. 

The Art Market

So tomorrow will be a busy day.

I open the shop at 10am and close at 5pm as usual then it's pack the car, check my list and get myself over to The Art Market at Holmfirth which thankfully is only about 45 mins away.
With help from my lovely friend artist Julia Ogden, we shall set up and be open for the public from 8pm till 10pm. The lovely little gold chair is on loan for the occasion, beautiful shape isn't it.
Sunday 8.30am  I shall be ready to go to Gimbals restaurant  in Sowerby Bridge who are holding a little bijoux Christmas Fair and once I have organised my table I shall hot foot it back to Holmfirth for the rest of the day. I have a friend standing in for me at Gimbals so I need to remember everything she may need for the day.
Fingers crossed I will sell sufficient things to make space for things I need pick up from the Christmas Fair at Gimbals on my way back from Holmfirth.Who knows there my be very little to collect.!
 I may be ready for a stiff drink on Sunday evening.
It's good to be busy.
