I am loving being with my Bath friends in a new Pop-Up Gallery from now until Xmas.  For those who don't know it, Frome has a really lively arts and vintage scene, fab shops and gallery and the truly wonderful Frome Artisan Market - more about that here - http://www.stcatherinesfrome.co.uk/artisan-market/

Our gallery in at 6 Stoney Street on the way up to St Catherine's Hill - do call in and say hello.  I have been making brooches - a completely new thing for me - just need to see if all the lovely people who buy my other work will like these too!

There are some brooches, boxes, hearts and other things in the new Vintage Quarter at Wilton Shopping Village, Near Salisbury.  Do call in - there are lots of other vintage, arts and antiques sellers, including Peta, whose blog shows some pictures of the lovely building housing the Vintage Quarter http://www.vintage57.com/#/blog/4563326153.  Do do along - it is well worth a look. Lynn is the brains behind this and you can find out more on her website http://vintagequarter.com/. 

It has been a busy Summer - as well as the commission for Phil and Sarah (pictured here), I've mosaiced a mermaid for Nik and made a piece as a wedding present.
So it was great to get off to the US for a couple of weeks holiday in September.  Spent a lovely week in New York and went to check out the Brooklyn Flea Market on Saturday.  It was a beautiful warm and summer day and fortified by amazing bagels from The Bagel Store on the way up from the subway, we spent hours sorting through the mix of vintage, antique and art stalls.  I bought 100 yeas old letter print blocks, which will be appearing on the top of mirrors, crystals from chandeliers and antlers!  I have a plan for these, but I'm not quite ready to share it......

Just as well the weather has not been great as I'm having a busy summer.  As well as the opportunity to exhibit work in the Bath Pop-Up Gallery where lovely people have come and bought a number of pieces, I've been working hard to complete a very interesting commission for Sarah and Phil.  They have been lovely clients and I'm really looking forward to showing them the completed work - but just a bit nervous too - I hope they are as pleased as I am with how it has turned out.  No pictures yet and they haven't seen it and I don't want to spoil the surprise, but watch this spot!

It is lovely to be back in the Bath Pop-Up Gallery with all the great artists and makers from last time; plus some new people.  We have a fantastic new venue, with lots more room and are sharing the building with some other groups so there is lots to see.  Do come and see me and Miss Bunny if you are in Bath. www.bathpopupgallery.co.uk/
