It was the first of our monthly "GO" shopping pop-up department stores featuring the work of local craftsmen, designers and artists - gorgeous furniture and soft furnishings, pictures and wall-hangings, teddies and dolls, jewellery and handbags plus a chance to rummage through Abbey Chic's vintage and designer fabrics - generous cushion size remnants at ridiculous prices!
It was also a great opportunity to meet the makers and talk about how you can have anything you see at the show made to your own colour and size specifications. We also introduced a new "Fabulous Finds" department - an eclectic mix of treasures you won't find in the shops.
We're back next month on August 25th, then September 22nd when we start our wedding department. More news on that later.
In the meanwhile thanks for a great day to Ioulia Homecrafts(handbags and doorstops and other lovely things) Jason Muteham (wooden furnture), Mark (Alphabet Art), Sarah (The Lone Maker - dollies), Olga (Zonis jewellery) Marie Benedict (paperclay bowls and vases) and Pat (treasures and finds) - and of course to John and Anne and everyone else who pitched in to help Abbey Chic set up when Jane was called away.
See you all next time - along with some great new faces and new departments in store! Mo
Back to you, Archie.....
