Little scandi-style gnomes, handmade from antique linen. Small army coming to the brocante.
Making little wool houses, drinking tea and eating prettily wrapped chocolate.
Love little houses.
Pretty silvered glass votives and distressed metal chamber sticks coming to the brocante.
Furry supervisor.
I have got my head down at the moment, rushing around preparing for the Country Brocante Winter Fair which we will be exhibiting at this weekend. If you are planning to attend, I'd love for you to pop over to say hi. In the absence of any 'proper' photos I have attached a few iphone snaps which give a flavour of my week.
Andrew, my husband (and head of finance, packaging and logistics for The Little Green Door) is running the stand with me this time. He has taken some time off work to travel with me, set up the stand and he plans to run the stall each day with me too. He *says* he wants to meet customers but I think he is going to keep his eye on me; the shopping there is fantastic and last time I came home with a pair of pale pink garden chairs in my friend's already jam-packed car!
We are staying in a shepherd's hut close to Cowdray and I am so excited. There is a tiny kitchen area, cute shower room and a little woodburner so we won't miss many home comforts. I hope it is as romantic as it sounds! My lovely Mother in Law and her dog Daisy are babysitting Lizzie so she will have a wonderful time too.
The fair is at Cowdray Park in Midhurst this Friday 25th and Saturday 26th November. Buy tickets and find more information here.
Right, I am off to dig out my blackboards, attach noses to gnomes and then I hope to embroider a few hanging hearts in front of The Crown (have you seen it? It is SO good. The music gives me goosebumps).
See you soon!
Love love
Nicki
