Yesterday I visited a
Book Fair at a local art studio. Now, I would not have taken notice as my house is bursting with books, and actually I am
trying to re-home many of them.
But then my friend said ‘hand made’.
And what I saw blew me away... local talent that I didn't know existed. I had a wonderful afternoon and got to know some of the artists, shared ideas and learned more about their work. And I have been invited to have a stand at the next Fair to exhibit my own books and albums! Another door opens, and I am so excited!

And last week I went to a local craft shop where Andy Skinner was doing demonstrations. I could have stayed all day! Rather than set workshops Andy just rolled from technique to technique, asking if anyone wanted to know anything in particular. It was very informal and relaxed and my head was spinning with all the ideas and notes I was taking. Andy offers online tutorials and workshops so if you are interested in a Book of Secrets, like this one, check out his website.
November is certainly proving to be a fun-filled month! I am looking forward my Belstead retreat 23rd to 25th, and next weekend is my monthly crop.
And sandwiched inbetween, on 16th to 18th is Jennifer's ‘Frosty
Festivities’. Over that weekend there will be posts every hour
from 4pm-10pm Friday, and 10am-10pm Saturday and Sunday (GMT),
all on the theme of 'Winter' including tips, tutorials, challenges, crafts, a blog hop, and lots of giveaways. So why not check it out and join in the November fun!
