It's Market Eve!

Well we had amazing fun at October's Market and here we are again on the eve of our Happy Valley Artisan Market at Clarence Mill.

Thank you to everyone who has either bought or borrowed their own gazebo this month; to everyone who has leant us a gazebo – the Poachers Pub and George Cann for organising for us to have the loan of two again – huge thank you guys.

We have some familiar faces from last month and some new Artisans all with some spectacular items for sale.  Why not come along and pick up some extra special gifts for Christmas Presents. 

Just so you can tick off items on your Christmas List to Santa – below is a list of Artisans at the Market this month:

• Shiela Cunningham – local Artist with samples of her artwork – why not buy and original painting for the special Christmas gift.
• Ann Fogg – Shabby Chic furniture restorer with some amazing small gifts too!
• Jane Ewington – with her beautiful porcelain and ceramics including the famous White Nancy pots
• Anna Barker – you really have to see her driftwood Christmas Trees and pebble santas.  I have my Santas – now just need one of the Trees.
• Helen Dewhurst – Textile Artist, I love that you can have art made out of items of clothing too precious to throw out, but that clutter your wardrobe.
• Fiona Reynolds – Exquisite items of polymer clay jewellery – just waiting to be added to that Christmas List
• Marie Robinson – Quirky science prints on cushions and other items – including clothing – so different and unique.
• Lisa Kirk – Sweet little baby quilts and other items for the nursery and older children.  My Granddaughter spent her pocket money at Lisa’s stall.  I expect she will be there again seeing what she can buy.
• Susan Kay – why not come along and watch Susan and her group spinning and whilst there check out her lovely handmade woollen items made from their own wool – the weather is getting colder.
• Claudia Tann – amazing textile woven and sewn items – just right for that extra special gift.
• Sophie Molyneux – Unique crochet jewellery, artwork and other items just waiting to be added to the gifts under the Christmas Tree.
• Alex will be there with the Balloons again – loved the octopus some of the children were waving around last month.
• Then of course there is Debra with some amazing framed fused glass White Nancy just ready for filling that space on your wall.  And of course her special Mosaics. 
• And Me! I’ve some new glassware for that Christmas Toast and some newly designed and handmade jewellery.

 Come along and check us out – see if I got everyone right with the correct items.  There is a free raffle again – last month it was an item of my fused glass jewellery – this month is still to be donated, but it will be amazing.

If you do come along to the market, please find me and say hello xxx
