A really fun thing to get involved with is Ancient Tree Hunt where you can help find (and map) all the old fat trees in the UK… Ancient trees are found anywhere and everywhere – so this is a treasure hunt that everyone can take part in! You need to measure how many people all holding hands can hug around the tree trunk - - There’s more information on the Ancient Tree Hunt website
We caught the end of the fireworks display in Evesham, after getting distracted by pints at the pub and putting on wellies!
It’s easy with the new Alice Palace wrapping paper!
Here’s a quick and easy guide to wrapping gifts:
This week has been so nice and sunny - yey! I’ve been trying to work on lots of lovely new Alice Palace designs - but have had lots of interruptions.....and even helped to round up some sheep on Tuesday! Yesterday I went to Cirencester to meet up with with some ladies who like to lunch and had some yummy soup at the Brewery Arts Centre (which has the Pharma’s Market exhibition on at the moment = new works by mosaic artist Cleo Mussi) - and afterwards we had a wander and found a great shop called Made, where i purchased a lovely busy bee notebook made by ‘I like pens’....
Yesterday I went the the Greeting Card Association’s AGM which was held at the V&A in London. We got to see a small selection of the V&A’s national greeting card collection which dates back to 1843 - and it was a brilliant. We then had a very nice meal and I got to go and see my cards in the shop afterwards - which was very enjoyable indeed -
Mark got in some lovely ingredients for our tea on Friday - we had a few pints and then went home to cook....
...some wild mushrooms from the French market which came in this lovely bag (oooo la la!)…
We have a brand new launch to show off - - - Our LOVELY new gift wrap (sized at 500 x 700mm) which is designed and printed in England on 100% recycled paper, using vegetable based inks and renewable energy - - is available NOW!!!!
There are 3 new designs available:
1. The wild outdoors (British wildlife)
It’s the BIG draw throughout October - so get drawing!!!!
Blue Ginger are holding a ‘pet on a postcard’ exhibition and Jemima is the obvious star on mine....
I’ve been eating lots of chocolate buttons! I LOVE the characters on the front -
and this one’s my favourite - especially by the time you’ve eaten 5 packs!!
