Oh boy was it windy! Art on the Prom was a lovely venue - lots of space and lots of nice people, but the wind - around from the beginning of the day - decided to getup to near gale force and silk scarves turned into flags blowing horizontally and then into knotted rags as they wound themselves round one another and the pole on which they were tied. My hangings billowed out like sails and no matter how many pegs I added, they kept making a bid for freedom.
The table had strings across to hold everything down and still stuff blew off.
John said he didn't think there was much point in attempting any more outdoor craft markets, because the weather is so unkind to my silks. Reluctant to make such a sweeping statement, but have to say, the weekend left me wondering if he was right.
No craft fair this week end. The next one is at Aldeburgh on 12th and 13th September and it is inside - in the Jubilee Hall - so hopefully the question of will our stock blow away should not arise.
Hope to see a few of you there.
Thanks for reading if you have been ...

    I live in Suffolk with my husband John, where I paint in the garage and write in a cupboard - that's where the computer lives.

    Suffolk is on the east coast of England for those not familiar with the place, where the wind is called 'lazy' because it blows right through you, rather than going round.

    I ran a shop in Southwold for a number of years, selling through there as well as at local craft fairs, such as Heveningham and Halesworth, but have also exhibited wall hangings all over the place, mostly at Southwold's Buckenham Galleries, The Works at Beccles and more recently at Halesworth Gallery.

    2009 Was a good year with a solo exhibition at Ichameleon in Halesworth - a good venue, which I shall be repeating in October 2010. Lots of Craft Fairs and lots of talks to interested groups like WI and Art Societies which are always good fun. Thanks to all who invited me last year - I'm looking forward to several for this year and even for next year already.
