The Little Things

It's the little things in life which make all the difference - we all know that.  So when the National Trust's Anglesey Abbey order 70 little things from me, it really does make a difference!


As well as the usual hearts, hens, fish and birdhouses, I have extended the hanging decoration range to incorporate these:


and these:

(I love my hand-made ceramic beads!  They just come out so wonderfully glossy.)

And these:


though if you forced a full-size version of the camper-van on me ....  I wouldn't say no!

Speaking of Little Things, I took several pieces featured in recent blogs over to The Little Gallery in Dereham yesterday.  It is a super little place, full of the most gorgeous art and crafts .... I had to steel myself not to come out with more than I took in!  And I have to say, it is the friendliest gallery I have ever encountered.  Whilst I was there, folks just walked in off the street for a chat with Judy, the lovely owner.  They do craft workshops and all sorts of things, so if you're local or on holiday, do pop in!

Just a Little post from Little me for now.

  4. These are all absolutely adorable! My sister in law took me to The Little Gallery a couple of weeks ago on our hols in Dereham, but it was closed due to a family event. So I had to be content with staring longingly into the window :-/ Perhaps I'll send her on a buying mission!

  5. How wonderful that they ordered all those lovely things, I haven't been there for a while but I'll look out for them when I next go, if there are any left that is! I love the flowerpots and camper vans - and yes I'd love a full size old camper van too :-)

  7. It sounds as though Anglesey Abbey is well worth a visit. And even though I'm not a camping sort of person, I think the caravan and the campervan are wonderful!

  8. Love your new range Cathy! They are all so sweet, and I especially love those bird houses and the campervans. They are sure to sell well!

    The Dereham gallery sounds a great place to visit.
