Sparkly things for a gloomy day
Just received an invitation to visit a studio, and what a studio, and so had to break the ‘last visit before the fair’ vow. Well worth it! It was a horrible day, and it was such a pleasure to be in a

Woven wonders
Mary Post’s weaving has been a highlight of the annual Christmas Fair – and various summer fairs – for several years now. Her beautiful displays in a gorgeous range of colours make people want to stroke and pat and generally fondle her
