What a great treat and tweet to get on a Sunday!

My friend and co-host radio geek from the movies, @RobRidgley has just sent me a photo of a pen I made.

His mum has given it to him as a gift for his recent birthday. Where did she get it? Why, from me, on a stall a few weeks ago.

She clearly has taste, AND knows her son well.  Happy Birthday Robin!

Having fun on Preston Platform 3 and 4, through to 5pm. This is the first of Mary’s (Dolly Dazzler to you) double header weekend.

I’ll see you in Fulwood for the posh festive fun tomorrow at Christchurch, 10.30-3pm, if not here….

All aboard the Skylark. Toot-toot!”

The weekends are coming thick and fast – get your craft wallets, purses and credit cards primed and ready. Over 100 stalls, scrummy food and cabaret acts, yes, cabaret acts through the day, you know you need to get to Brockholes.

I love this fair as there is a real eclectic mix of all sorts. Obviously there are plenty of the best of traditional crafts, there is then the more left field. My more bonkers lamps and lights from car parts look positively normal. See you there today 30th, or tomorrow, white rabbits, 1st December.

Good people – get your giving heads and wallets at the ready.

I will be at Marsh Mill Retail Centre, Thornton Cleveley’s 3pm-7pm tomorrow, after another busy one at Bispham Community Centre 10-2pm. There’s entertainment, Christmas cheer, artizan and bespoke goods from all manner of folk. Monies from stall holders, raffle prizes and donations all go to the fantastic Manchester Hospitals and in memory of Violet.

The weather is set fair. Get along to it!

See you there! 🙂

It’s not finished yet, needs some paint to top it all off, but here is a “sneeky peek” of the 4.2 Litre Ford Capri piston, possibly off a vinyl roofed tan car (the coolest one ever), transformed into a light and desk tidy. It’s a heavy bleeder and will cost a lot to post, but for £55 (plus p+p) what better way to have a unique, uber cool desk tidy?

I’ve got one of the last legal crates of African Blackwood in Lancashire. Slimline pens are back in stock as well. Available in either plain (£15) or with growth wood, stunning black and yellow / white (£17.50), gimme a shout if you want to have some of the last of this lovely ethically, and hence, legally sourced wood.
