More talented people and some funny vegetables

Carrying on from yesterday's posting

I saw Emma of Temporary Measure at last years Holker Garden Festival and was mesmorised with the wonderful range of her work.  Having made the move from Manchester to Keswick she now has a shop at 74 Main Street, Keswick where you can sit and have a nice piece of cake & a cuppa while admiring all the lovely goodies on offer.  If you can't get to the shop have a look at one of the nicest websites i've ever seen.

I will definitely be calling in next time I am up there.

 Back to the Festival -

 What a great way to teach children about fruit & vegetables.  There were two mad chaps dressed up like Victorian workmen handing out these funny veggie babies and telling silly stories about how they needed nurturing, feeding and how some of them had dirty bottoms with being in the ground.  The little ones loved it and were allowed to hold them, change nappies and bottle feed as well.  It was hilarious but quite educational.

I have still got some more tales to tell from our trip to Cumbria but they will have to wait as I am getting ready for next Sunday's PROM ART at GRANGE-OVER-SANDS, Cumbria where the DOODLY BIRDS are holding court on stall 54.

I couldnt resist this lovely ceramics stall owned by Jennifer & Adrian Bell.  It looked so pretty and I'm pleased to say you can buy things through their website.

This was the W.I. tent at Holker.  I got myself a W.I. Biscuit making book.

Cool Crafting , based in Milnthorpe Cumbria, drew us in with their lovely vintage fabrics, ribbons, and a great idea of a craft kit in a jam jar - Sew a felt bird.  This clever mother & daughter team run workshops, organise crafting parties and hen parties with a difference.  I had a lovely chat with Grace (the daughter) who was really bubbly and enthusiastic about all they do.
Have a look at their fantastic website.

We treated ourselves this year to Cream Tea in the hospitality tent.  It was lovely to sit down for a while and enjoy some lovely cake and a nice cup of tea.

I will tell you some more tales tomorrow.

Hope you are all still out there.
