New miniatures on my website

I managed to do  lots of buying at last weeks show, and thought I'd show you a little selection of the new miniatures I now have up on my site. I love the watercolour paintings and the little tray of currant teacakes and the buttered crumpets. They look good enough to eat! The witchy things are just a few of the many new things I have. The brain has made everyone go 'Ughhhh!' They just don't think like us do they?

We are having a few days off next week, we need a rest! So may not be Blogging for a while. Off to enjoy the sunshine and my garden. Hope the weather stays like this.

Update - this'n' that

Well the fair is now over - another busy day  but one which passed smoothly. The hours just seem to  fly by. And for only the 3rd or 4th time in its 29 year history, it didn't rain at unloading and loading times for our exhibitors. In fact the sun was really shining!   I managed a shot of the queue in the morning, but never got time to do any more during the day.

I did manage to spend a lot of money on stock items for my website and will be getting these on in the next couple of days. The witchy enthusiasts among my followers may like some of the new witchy things I got.  will put some pics up here later.

Treating myself to a day out shopping with my friend tomorrow!

Tomorrrows show

Well all the reminder notes have been ticked and thrown away, so all is prepared now for the show tomorrow in Leeds. We spent today setting everything up ready to welcome our exhibitors at 7.30 in the morning!  The pics below show me checking I'd done everything on my list, Bob my husband laying power cables to provide all stands with power access and a shot of part of one of the halls we use.     Hope the Volcanic ash cloud coming our way doesn't scare off our visitors!!!  Going to try and get some sleep now, but my mind won't close down!

A busy week ahead

I have a really busy week ahead of me, with final preparations for my Pudsey, Leeds Show next Saturday. Lots to do that can't be done until the last minute. This is my 29th year of organising this show, and I still get nervous that I have done everything. The house will be littered with reminder notes all week!!  A week from today and it will have been and gone - it's like a wedding - months of preparation and over in one day!  Back to the paperwork for now.
