Last weekend of the Christmas Open Houses 2014

It has been a fantastic Open House so far this Christmas with so many visitors last Sunday we had to send out for more supplies to make the mulled wine.

Gaps are starting to appear as are red "sold" stickers but we still have plenty for you to look at.

Many thanks to all of you who have come so far but if you haven't (or if you want to return), we are open tomorrow and Sunday between 11am and 5pm. After that, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until we open again in May as I need to get the house back to approaching normal before Christmas.

One weekend down, two to go

The first weekend of the Christmas Open Houses was a great success here and the house is looking lovely after all the frantic tidying last week. We had a steady flow of visitors all weekend so many thanks to those of you who came and especially to Del and Alexis, two of the artists exhibiting here, for their expert entertaining of youngest child after my husband was laid up in bed with back pain.

Ruth's fused and stained glass decorations have been really popular, deservedly so. Her stocks are quickly becoming depleted so please come along soon if you would like to see these.

We are now in December so it doesn't feel too early to be talking about Christmas. We have a variety of cards, decorations and other Christmassy bits and pieces here as well as affordable arts and crafts so if you're in a present buying mood, come and relax with a glass of mulled wine while browsing. We are open from 11am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday.
