Have had a busy week, getting ready for NM3 in Totnes this Saturday as well as recovering from a bad back, a legacy left over from my nursing days, either that or I am getting old! Totnes is a long way for me to travel but I get to see my family, especially my 91 year old Nan who has had a couple of bad falls lately so I feel it is especially important this time. I do feel very lucky to be in my forties and still have a Grandparent alive and Louis to have a Great Nan. I was lucky to know both sets of Grandparents and also to have two sets of Great Grandparents. Mum also has a stand at NM3 and she has also been busy this week packing and pricing.
A small selection of what I am taking. I still have some things to pack.
The beautiful Confit pot was a great find this week. We have a little antiques centre not far from us and I found a couple of little gems hidden amongst the usual rubbish that is usually for sale there!
I also found this beautiful hand embroidered Chinese panel that had been crudely framed and literally had the edges taped as it was too big for the frame....sacrilege!! Andy very painstakingly removed it from the frame and the offending tape and it will be coming with me to Totnes.
Lastly I will leave you with a picture of what our pear tree produced this year. I will be taking some down for Mum along with some windfall apples and newly laid eggs from our chickens. Hopefully see you on Saturday if you are able to make it. Have a great weekend.
