Handmade monday 73

Its been a busy week for me and I'm going to ask you 1st to pop over to handmade harbour and take a look at the great blogs
The main thing I  want to talk about is the new age fair I went to on Saturday with my lovely friend Joanna we took her Spiritual Art and my Encaustic Art. We had a lovely day
here are my photos

The bottom photo is of all the work I managed to do on the day so I am very pleased I also sold a couple of pictures and lots of cards. I met some great people who are very inspirational 
The other thing I managed to get done was pop over to Hillliers Garden centre where there is an amazing craft shop called Between Dreams I showed them a few pictures and I am now putting a few bits in there next week
I am very late writing this tonight Just for a change hope everyone has a great week see you next Monday xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well I have to say Is it Monday already???
Hasnt this week gone quickly I must say I havent done too much crafting as I have been searching out exhibiting space for my encaustic art

 

Well I have found somewhere great its in Totton Southampton and its called hanger farm arts centre Its a fantastic place and so so busy this year, but I have booked up to display next year with two of my very good friends Jo and Deanna who are also fantastic artists I am so looking forward to it I had a great time then spent the afternoon looking at my lovely pond as it was so sunny

If you remeber I was due to go to an Open afternoon on the Friday , well it was a fantastic afternoon Here is the link to the article about Mums and Business It is run by Theresa and Terry and they are the most inspiring people you can ever meet so if you are a mum in business please take a look the lounge is in Fareham in the most beautiful location
The last thing I did this week was go to a great party on Saturday night a very good friend of mine was celebrating her big birthday it was a total surprise for her and she looked beautiful I made her a great picture but me being me forgot to take a photo but dont worry once its on her wall I will get her to take one
