What's in store at the Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey next weekend...

Next weekend I'll be heading down to Devon for the annual Craft Festival at Bovey Tracey....

Craft Festival Bovey Tracey

This fantastic event boasts food, music, workshops, demonstrations and craft of the highest standards available to purchase, take home and treasure.

The last time I exhibited at the Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey was 2013. I was pregnant at the time, and subsequently decided to stick to local events for a few years so I could be home for bedtimes - but now my little one is not so little, I'm happier to travel further with my jewellery and I'm so looking forward to being back at the Craft Festival again!

You can find me there in marquee A, stand 41.

This weekend, Lady Bay Arts Trail in Nottingham....

Lady Bay Arts Trail is back! If you've never been on an arts trail then now is the time to start. Check out the website here for all the relevant info, but in a nutshell - pay a very reasonable £5 (children free) for a ticket for the whole weekend and guide to the various venues taking part in the trail, then off you go! Follow the map of Lady Bay to find wonderful art and craft in fantastic settings... It's like a treasure hunt and so much fun. There's activities and workshops available for all ages so it's a family friendly weekend.

I hope to see you there! You can find me on Julian Road.
