  I've been invited to take part in Aunty Nora's "A Vintage Christmas" in Deal, Kent on Saturday 22nd December and so will be setting my stall up there for the day, along with lots of other designer/makers and collector/dealers.  I hope that if you are in the area you will pop by and see me at some point during the day, even if only for some mulled wine and mince pies as respite from your busy Christmas preparations...hope to see you there...
