It’s been a busy couple of weeks at Peagreen HQ. Every gap in my schedule has been spent doing the kitchen floor – my aim was to have it completed by Saturday morning (when I’m off to The Bedruthan Steps Hotel in Cornwall for a girlie weekend) but as I have a box of candles to deliver in Teignmouth tomorrow, a friend popping round to buy some candles tomorrow afternoon, I’m off out tonight and going for a run and a swim in the morning it no longer seems to be an achievable goal. Oh well, there’s always next week…but next week I have to make candles for my friends wedding on June 30th and get ready for The Craft Hub Fair on July 1st in Topsham…..

I also need to stock up for my four day stall in the craft marquee at the Exeter Cathedral Flower Festival which runs from July 11th – 14th. I haven’t done this before and it only runs every three years so I’m quite excited about doing something completely different for a few days. I’m in two places at once on Saturday 14th July as I have a Vintage Fair in Trull Hall near Taunton as well. I haven’t quite worked that one out yet but I’m sure it’ll be fine….aargghhh!

A dear friend of mine came round with a box of old china the other day that she had cleared out from her Nan’s belongings which have been in storage for sometime. What did I find beneath all the dust and grime? A gorgeous set of vintage hand-painted Aynsley bone china, crying out to be upcycled into beautiful candles…

And I haven’t even mentioned the weather…
