EXHIBITION UPDATE

 I got the keys to the gallery yesterday and can set up my exhibition tomorrow afternoon ready for opening on Friday morning, i am so excited, i can't believe this is finally happening.  This is the inside of the gallery, (empty obviously).  The room has beautiful old oak flooring.

I finished my Moleskine Art Journals ready for the exhibition and wrapped them in cellophane for protection

I'll post some more photos tomorrow of the gallery set up for the exhibition.

The poster for my exhibition on the shop door

I just need to print some more off now to advertise around the town and maybe some other areas.

Saturday Night in Lincoln

Tony and Monica's garden party with Edgar Broughton,

the most relaxing and special evening i've had for a long time with lovely special people, both Gav and I enjoyed it.  Tony and Monica are amazingly lovely and hospitable people, beautiful food, friends and lots of comfort.

Edgar Broughton (or Rob as people know him) provided us with wonderful entertainment, very different from the last time i saw him at Leamington Spa with his band, and whilst i must admit i preferred this performance without his band, i would definitely still go and see him with his band. He's a lovely, interesting man. 

Rob does this thing called "Fair days pay for a fair days work" This is what he says:

"You can book me for your private event any where in the world. You get me, my acoustic guitar and a solo performance of my songs.. What does it cost? One day of your pay, what ever that is, plus Travel costs, accommodation and my supper" - Brilliant eh? 

Enjoy the photo's

I'm on the last leg of preparing art work for the exhibition.  I've got nearly everything done now, these are a few of the small, what i call "affordable art" pieces (about 4" x 4") assemblage. 

How gorgeous is this little baby, Tony and Monica's grandson, with their son, three generations of Smiths!  Ha! 

Poor doggies locked in the house whilst the performance was going on, it was the food they missed though!

I've had a lovely day today, i've been over to Annie's with Jo and met up with the fabulous Sue, for Funday Monday, not much crafting going on today though, we were all feeling a little tired, but we had Jo's lovely home made cakes and a lovely chat, putting the world to rights, as you do.  Thank you both for inviting me, it was just what i needed.

My latest conversation with Nicci (about 5 minutes ago)

Nicci:  "I'm really jealous of you"

Me:     "Oh! why?"

Nicci:  "Cos i'll never have a kid as awesome as yours!!!!"

Gotta laugh

Harrogate, Llangollen and Lincoln

All in one week!!!

Last night Gav and I went to the Llangollen Fringe Festival (or part of it) to see the.......Da da....

 ...Legendary English punk band...

... here... at the Pavillion in Llangollen

Of course, this is what they look like now.  The festival organisers managed to botch up the sound and i think even the band got a bit annoyed with them, but eventually they managed to get it right so it was a reasonable gig!!!

 Harrogate

Sunday and Monday this week was spent at the Harrogate Home and Gift Show.  What made it much nicer this year was that we stayed with our lovely friends, Jas and Helen in Leeds on the Sunday evening, they took us out for a fab Italian Meal.  It's only about twenty minutes then into Harrogate from where they live, so it was much more relaxing for us.  We managed to find loads of new suppliers, which was great because we have lots of money to spend!  He! he!  Well.....what would you do faced with all this eye candy?

 The displays of some the companies were ideas in themselves, i loved all the cabinets and ideas for displaying their goods, came home with my head humming and a need to get started on some change in the shop.

 Hmmm.....which gorgeous scarfs to choose? !!

 And....tomorrow...we're off on our travels again to Lincoln to Tony and Monica's Garden Party where Edgar Broughton is playing in his garden!!!   We'll meet up with a few of our friends from the wedding, we can't wait, we're hoping we might have a bit of time to visit the cathedral and have some lunch in the old part of town.

Nicci's here helping for the summer, she looked after the shop and Lizzie whilst we went to Harrogate and she's here again this weekend whilst we're off to Lincoln, so she's having a day off today - which is just as well because she was late in last night having been out with friends - and we're off to Bishop's Castle this afternoon for a nice walk around a visit to the book shopand some special mother/daughter time.....bliss!!!

A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful moments of the present,

and the hope and promise of the future.
