Preparing to sell...

Tredegar House - Newport, Wales

This lovely venue is where 'Made by Hand' is being held from the 2nd to the 4th of December, and on Thursday I went to have the guided tour as part of the preparing to sell day. My little note book was full by the end of the afternoon and as a new business I came away with lots of helpful information! The show takes place both inside the grand rooms of the house and outside in a heated pavilion, well it will be December.

Head on over the the 'Made by Hand' website to checkout the show, other exhibitors and lots of other useful bits and pieces.

Supporting Meningitis UK

Earlier this year I made a donation of a square silk 'Oh Poppy' scarf to Marion Smith's Charity Coffee morning in aid of Meningitis UK. This year they raised £1505.00, exceeding last years total by nearly £400!

Well done Marion!!!
