So it’s market time again and I’ve been preparing my stall. Yesterday was the day for the frustrating and time-consuming task of deciding on a layout. I’m going to pare it back and put less out. I’ve been thinking that I might be getting towards guilty of cluttering.

Now I’m wondering if it’s looking too spare… (The white candelabra thing-y is for cheaper earrings.) As you’ll be able to tell, my flat gets a little cramped when I’m doing this. I wasn’t aided by the presence of Dexy, who has been sporting some new headwear this week.

There are few things more pathetic than the sight of a dog wearing one of these things. He had a bite or something that he was fretting at. Thankfully, it’s cleared up now and he’s allowed to go without it. Whilst ministering to him, I’ve been making up a few new pieces for the market.

As ever, if you happen to be around Frome on Sunday, it would be great to see you. I’ll be at the top of Catherine Hill from 10am to 2pm.
