Trying to make up for lost time this week after a fortnight's moaning and sneezing after both of us succumbed to 'a nasty virus that's going around' to quote the Doctor. They always say that don't they. I always hope, in vain, for a more enlightening explanation.
We have the Harrogate Craft Trade Fair this weekend and feel somewhat nervous about it. We shall have lots of contact with small independent shopkeepers. It will enable us to gauge what is going on with the craft retail trade which has taken a bit of a battering over the last year.
We have lots of new designs that we have just started to take photos of. I've just done some snaps of a couple of bangles which reflect our interest in 1950's designs. We may call it our 'Festival of Britain' range. That was a very lively optimistic period. We need to recapture some of that spirit to counter the dour negativity of our current rulers who have very little interest in arts and crafts and all those who practise them and make a living by them. I'll rant about that in a future blog.
