Despite the weather being against me and the numbers being down on the Spring Sale, the Autumn Open House was a great success. I was amazed at how many braved the ridiculous amounts of rain we had to get to the sale. Many came from a long way off. One of the wonderful things about having an open house is meeting lovely creative people and so many of them came to the sale, like Joy from the Isle of Wight who came with her husband. Just check out those gorgeous bags and cushions! I also got to meet Daniella who makes beautiful things for her website and Kathy, a very talented jeweller (both Daniella and Kathy will have stalls at the Country Living Christmas Fair).
On Saturday I got to meet up with Sue and Pauley, which is always a great pleasure. I also got to meet up again with Louise Critchlow and I even got to help a lady choose the fabric, pattern, buttons and buckle for her vintage 1950's wedding dress she is having made.
Oh I just LOVE my job!
It takes a lot of preparation to set up and get the sale ready so I won't be having another one until Spring but I am already looking forward to it.
Damn ! still can't see the slide, must be something wrong here or maybe I am having a senior citizien moment like my Dad, would have said blonde but remembered you're blond heheh... I shall sort it out and be back soon xx glad it was a success xx thinking of you and your pussy

These photos photos bring back lovely memories of your fabulous sale, Donna. I have no idea how you managed to produce such a wonderful event. The atmosphere was so relaxed and being around all the interesting people who turned up was inspiring. The slides cover only some sections of the many hundreds of beautiful items on display. What fun. Well done you! xxxx ~(:o})=
Glad that the sale was a success and only sorry that I couldn't be there - distance prevented me. Would have enjoyed sharing coffee and cake with your friends.
Sorry Donna - I still didn't get to you. We were down to one car and husband had a job interview - so no competition :( Anyhow he got the job...so I can't complain :) I'm glad it went well - and once again I am left sad and envious that I couldn't come Mary xx
