A Cozy Summer Fayre...

I was lucky enough to be invited to have a stall at a beautiful small event held in a private garden which raises funds for a very special children's charity. Chris Myers is such a talented and generous lady and has been hosting the fayres at her home for the past ten years. The day proved to be so inspiring and I left feeling positively uplifted by the overwhelming gathering of creativity all together in one garden!

It was just like a page out of Country Living magazine, quite simply one of the most gorgeous events I have participated in ~ the sunshine did help of course, but it was the friendly atmosphere and lovely stallholders who really made the day ~ along with the nicest customers you could wish to meet!

I had to order one of these signs for my workroom ~ very appropriate...

One of my latest creations...

My stall...


Chris serving refreshments ~ divine Swedish cookies and cakes baked by her friend Geraldine who came to visit especially...

I could have brought everything home with me from this stall ~ fabulous chippy painted furniture and kitchenalia...

Beautiful hand embroidered and printed textiles from Sue...

and lots of lovely goodies from Rosablue

A wonderful day out and an absolute pleasure to be a part of it ~ sadly, for the time being there are to be no more fayres here, but watch this space as I am sure that Chris and her talented friends will be cooking up some other ideas....

In my next post, I will share with you some of the lovely things I brought home with me...
