Good evening everyone Well back to normal. Melton Market tomorrow what a relief ! Hope you'll come and say Hello - I've really missed it ! - If you're stuck for mother's day we've got some nice bits 🙂

So here we are , a bit of escapism and nostalgia ! We had fun thinking of the Seaside, and holidays past . Hope you like them, lets look forward to the Summer ! 👒 🍨 🌞 🌞🌞

Good Morning All ! Really sorry but Stamford Saturday Market has been cancelled today . We love to meet everybody and it's getting really hard now, but these are pretty extreme conditions . Keep safe everyone we're really looking forward to seeing you all and getting back to normal ! Watch this space for things we'll be finishing today (Clue Sea Side and Sunshine ) 🏖 🙂🙂

Just a little taster of something we're working on while we're snow bound , (after loads of research using vintage holiday books) how cute is this ?

Well good afternoon everyone, here we go again ! Not surprisingly we've just heard Stamford Market has (only just ) made the decision to cancel- they were hanging on because of the stall holders with perishable goods who will lose their stock-.Obviously not great for anyone ! The main thing is to keep everyone both human and all the other creatures as safe as we can !We're feeding the birds by the sackful! all our animals have shelters but the Pigs,goats, and Alpacas have all decided to share the two really big deep shelters bedded down with straw and hay ! Take care all ! XXX

Good Afternoon everyone ! Just to let anybody who may need to know, we've had a message from Melton Town Estate to tell us tomorrow's Market has understandably been cancelled due to the weather warnings . Please contact us if you need anything before next Tuesday and we'll do our best to help. Keep warm and safe everyone ! ❄❄⛄

Starting from today its National bird box Week ! We thought it would be interesting to compare 3 boxes we've seen this morning . Please click on the pictures to see comments thank you 😊

Good morning everyone ! We've been up from 5.30 as usual ready to go to Melton market but unfortunately it's Chris who feels poorly this time ! He wasn't very well last night and this morning he's a little better but not physically up to the task of helping me to set up the stall , (I can't reach on my own and I don't drive the van ! ) Really sorry if we're letting anybody down . If anything is needed urgently please contact us thank you .

Taken today . This is a fairy garden we've made using an existing old tree trunk.The little house is a hollowed out log which took Chris forever ( his work is also his hobby 🙂 ) It shows what you can do with stones and ferns ,looks lovely all year !

We've just taken this photograph under the amazing moon ! New Fairy Houses with cut out Windows lit with little L.E.D candles they look really lovely !

Good Morning Everyone what a lovely morning ! We're all set up a Beaumanor Hall Wedding Fair . We're giving it a try. (We could get used to this 20 min set up and a radiator behind us ! ☺ )

Hope everyone has had a good day at least it felt a bit more ' Spring like' Chris has finished off this lovely Wedding Card Chest today . Featuring a slot for cards in the lockable lid , If you wish you can have gold initials on the front .16" wide 9"deep 14" high we hope you like it .
