I've had quite a busy week, since last weekend I've painted the fronts to 9 diaries,
6 of which are a commision, 3 for tomorrow's show. I've also decorated 2 jugs, 
a lovely tin bag, 2 galvanized hearts & 5 birthday/anniversary spoons.
Luckily most of these I had painted the base coats on, before, so it was mainly just 
decorating, but, as usual I left it all until the last minute.
Oh & I finished a bear!!!

Sunday 6 September 2015

I have a large country show coming up. This is Findon Sheep Fair. The event goes back as far as 1261, when it was a 3 day event. How do they find these things out???
Anyway over the years there have been a few changes (obviously), I have been doing it since 1999 & I've noticed a few more modern day one's!!!
It is a lovely event where, I think the world & his wife attends, the organizers are absolutely brilliant & make it a good day, not just for the visitors but for us stall holders as well.
I am busily painting away with my country style crafts, I think I probably have enough bears, although every year a lady comes in towards the end of the show (she doesn't like crowds) & last year she bought 4 of my little bears, & in other years she has always gone home with at least one. So here's hoping!!!
I shall post some pics of my painted pieces as the week goes on.
Have a lovely Sunday, the weather here is nice & sunny, although a little cold, autumnal I think the word is!!!
