Keeping It Local!

If you went along to the fair on the big green in Ditchingham last month, you'll have spotted Audrey - the dear little campervan behind the stall.. She was given that name because of her number plate.
It was Ditchingham's first summer fete in quite a few years. The village is near Bungay on the Suffolk/Norfolk border.
Unfortunately Annie was away in Wales so Helen was keeping it local; busy writing labels (you can just see Audrey in the background):


A couple of close ups show how carefully chosen themes and a limited colour palette pull the summer look together well. Isn't the Flower Girl dress gorgeous? 
Utilising the trellis is the best display improvement we've made this season - it's light and airy yet gives height to compliment the mannequin:


There's the old Globetrotter! - That's been over to Ireland and on the plane to Italy - safe as houses - considering they're made from paper, you know! Annie's Grandpa bought it in the 1940s. 
That sweet gingham cushion has now sold, so get your orders in as things disappear...!

Tuesday

Try Something New...

Trying out a bit of old fashioned embroidery and bead/button embellishment to add a 'bit more handmade' to some little bits and bobs...
