It’s always great fun doing a craft show at my husband Peter Lanyon’s workshop. This year is going to be no exception, it’s going to be great seeing old friends and making new ones. Check out this blaster of a line up: Me, Peter Lanyon (beautifully crafted sustainable furniture and lighting), Alice Wood (practical, simple and stylish leather bags), RAMP (stunningly decorated ceramics that makes me weep with joy), Sigrid Verschraeghen (unique bespoke clothing in natural fabrics), Zsuzi Morrison (exquisitely detailed enamel jewellery), ROCWORX (Marbled textile and leather home items) and Toby Hodges (Peter’s apprentice, who makes beautiful fine hand carved spoons)

Pop along to Lambside Farm, PL8 1HG (between Noss Mayo and Battisborough Cross in the South Hams, South Devon) on 4th – 5th December 2021 between 10 am – 5 pm.

Apart from our handmade wares, we will also be selling refreshments to raise money for Project Green Hands which is a huge volunteer driven tree planting project in Southern India to halt and reverse deforestation and bring the Cauvery River back to life.

I’ve finally got round to updating my shop with new card designs as well as some CHRISTMAS cards!

Who doesn’t love to receive a super hand-written card through the post? If the past 20 months have taught us anything, it’s that the small things you do for people bring the biggest smiles and happiness. A card doesn’t cost much but it’s a brilliant way of sending a few words just to let someone know that you’re thinking of them. Far more personal than a text or Whats App message, this one will linger on a shelf maybe even for a few months (or often longer, if you’re in our house!) I don’t know about you but I spend ages choosing which image would suit which friend or relative.

All of this plus buying cards from designers, you’re helping to keep small businesses going. The #justacard campaign puts so clearly the message from a gallery who had recently closed down:
