Happy Christmas Everyone!
Just a very quick message to wish you are a very Happy Christmas. It’s been a really exciting run up to Christmas here on the blog with loads of Christmassy events and features.
We sent out our December Newsletter this week, packed full of Yuletide cheer. If you didn’t manage to see it – you can read the latest issue here.
We’ve had more exhibitors confirm their places this week at our event An Oasis in the City:
Pop Up Tea Room: Alice’s Vintage Pantry
Handmade Room: Baba+Boo, For the Love of Vintage, Stella & Dot, H&D Diamonds
How To Room: Renaissance4Women
Please do get in touch if you are interested in exhibiting – but hurry as certain categories are almost full.
New Year Holiday
Finally, I’m heading off on an adventure just after Christmas. Tris and I are travelling to Zambia (where Tris used to teach before I met him). I’ll be sending you all regular post cards from Africa – and in the mean time, I’ll be re posting some of my favourite blogs from 2012.
But so that you don’t get lonely, you’ll still be able to chat with us on Twitter and Facebook as Rachel (our events partner) will be manning our Social Media.
