Mid Century Modern heads west!

Thanks to the lovely Colin of Homescape who we had a nice chat with on Sunday whilst both running our stalls at the St Catherine's market, we heard about the fabulous Mid Century Modern Show coming to our wee neck of the woods later this year. Yay! And boy are we excited. Better start saving those pennies now!

Oh and this is a gem (his words not mine!!) C took just before we packed up the car and headed home from the market. I don't know the history behind this fantastic post box and lamp post but it was a photo opportunity I couldn't resist!

Cake and Craft...

So the Checkout Art Market in Bristol went well... such a sunny day filled with crafts and cakes and lovely friendly people - does it get much better?!

Our stall was next to the gorgeous work of Trigger Editions who made us feel very welcome and made the five hours fly by. The cakes were supplied courtesy of the lovely ladies of Tabletop Cakes and as we were sat nearly opposite their beautiful stand I couldn't hold out for long - they were delicious! We were also sitting facing the stunning work of the SNAP Studio artists who were selling prints and cards and also running a mini screen printing workshop. It was so inspiring and if I were richer (and had not spent all my money on cakes!) I would have been in there buying, buying, buying.

It was also an unexpected treat to put a face to the name behind the lovely Seventy Tree blog... we only discovered it recently but have been hooked ever since.

Market Day...

It was time for another St Catherine's Artisan Market in Frome again yesterday and this time the weather smiled on us.. yay. After last months freezing wet weather we were relieved it was warm and sometimes even sunny. It went well and we met yet more lovely, friendly, crafty people... there's a never ending supply in Frome! We loved meeting the face behind Treasury as we'd spotted her lovely things through both the market back in April and also as she was featured on Design*Sponge!

Frome is a lovely place, and one we nearly moved to when we headed back west from London four years ago. So here's the poster I meant to post all last week and also a slightly shabby photo of our stall - taken at the end of the market when the wind had taken it's toll on our new felt banner!

We had a bit of a manic week leading up to the market - no matter how organised my intentions are I'm always a last minute type girl. Ah well, we made it and now have a good stock of stuff for the etsy shop and also for another new market we're doing this coming Saturday, 12th June, in Bristol - CheckOut. Can't wait it looks great and its indoors!
