Its all going crazy!

Well its almost upon us, its the time of year when we makers, designers & crafters set up stalls in community centres, marketplaces & village halls across the length and breadth of the UK in an attempt to provide one off unique gifts for members of the unsuspecting public.

Heres a few pictures of my shinnanigans this month, out and about meeting the lovely people of Yorkshire, its what its all about!

This weekend was Barnsley`s Christkindlemarkt a 4 day event, 

I am so weary it felt like Groundhog Day  

  Check out our wonderful marquee supplied by Barnsley Markets, talk about spoiled! its got a floor - unheard of for an outdoor market! It held down so well in the gusty winds this weekend. They did us proud!

You can just about about see a glimpse of local talents Mr Monocle, Cottonarts Bags , Emily Sharp clothing and Cherryamour

..and here`s little old me...

Networking or just sharing a bit of gossip - You decide! It was great to spend time with my crafty buddies , they`re just fab!

Introducing Kyle, one half of  `Mr Monocle` who design limited edition screen printed T-shirts, I bought myself & my OH one to send to Santa, only 5 of each size printed in each design, Too cool for school!

  Here`s me in all my Glory, my recycled jacket handbags went down well with the good people of Barnsley, as did the mittens and headbands, it looks like it was a lovely summers day but the wind was fierce and really cold.

 The roasted chestnuts were a great winter warmer on a cold day and just look at his quirky set up. 

He is a real  character, he was playing Tamla Motown songs every time I passed....what more can you ask for..warming your soul and listening to it too

....and finally these guys made it a special day for us all, our very own Frumptarn Guggenband brilliant!

Fame at last!

Well the rumble of Christmas can be heard in the distance, I can`t believe that its come around so quickly AGAIN! Images it is then for this post A picture tells a thousand words....

Look what I found in the fridge the other morning its actually 

cake on a lolly stick

hmmm thats why there were strange noises coming from the kitchen late at night, it was the baking fairy aka my daughter Katie... all 4 of them I tried were gorgeous! 

May I introduce you to some lovely ladies that I met last week -

Who are planning on having a Victorian Twilight Xmas market

My claim to fame! 

A lovely article ran in Novembers edition of `Yorkshire Life Magazine`

 Its a bit scary when your huge face is spread across a magazine for EVERYONE & ANYONE to take a look at, 

I think they did a  fantastic job (I am so proud) its a great Magazine too all about us up North, where to go what there is to see on our own doorstep 

and of course how fabulous we all are!
