Amersham Museum Christmas Market

Amersham Museum reopened this Summer after ten months of renovations. The museum looks amazing and I am excited to return for its Christmas Market on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd December.

I had a table at this event in 2015, before they closed for their renovations, and had such a nice time. It was a windy and rainy day and yet everyone's spirits were raised. I am looking forward to seeing what the event will hold this year.

Merry Wednesday!

Christmas Cards

It is only October and while I am loving everything orange (It is a big yes please to Autumn leaves and pumpkins!) I'm definitely anticipating Christmas! I'm looking forward to the craft fairs I'll be visiting with my cards in November, but if online is more your style some of my designs are available on my Etsy shop. 

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Goring Christmas Craft Fair

On Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th November I will be at Goring Craft Fair again! This is an event I really like to be involved with each year. It is a great way to spend a wintry weekend day, and it is great for all the family. There will be all sorts of handmade gifts with hot drinks, food and activities for kids too!

This year the craft fair will be hosted by the Goring CE Primary School PTA. All proceeds will go towards school projects to support the children's education at Goring Primary School. The perfect excuse to have a go on their raffle!

It is the 25th September. Three months is too early to start a Christmas countdown but we'll take note of the date anyway!

Cacti Love

This cacti card is one of my favourites from this year. Plants are everywhere at the moment and I enjoyed making some of my own. I've been working on another house plant design this week at the same time as dreaming of the perfect plant to go on my bedside table.

I hope you have a good weekend. I am off on a lovely adventure and I can't wait!

A Thursday Evening Daydream

Today has felt very Autumnal - A chilly day ending in gorgeous sun. It felt like we'd said goodbye to Summer. I will never wish the summer away but there are a few things that I am really looking forward to. 

1. Chilly walks in the sun. Long sleeves, walking boots and a scarf. Bliss.

2. Hot drinks outside in the cold. Its like eating your breakfast outside in summer -  when the sun is out but there is still a morning chill in the air. Cold cheeks and warm coffee in Autumn is fine by me.

3. Pumpkin Barn. A necessity for October. I love seeing the mass of orange at our local farm shop every year.

4. Orange. In the trees or in decorations - I can't get enough of it at this time of year!

5. Cosy cardigans and layering up. Can't bloomin' wait.

Bring on Autumn!

BECCMARK

Last week I shared that I will be at Downley Makers' market in November and I am back to tell you a little bit about Bourne End Community and Craft Market. I will be there twice in the coming months -  once in October and once in November.

Saturday 14th October and Saturday 11th November

Pop along for a selection of handcrafted greetings cards! I will have some Christmas cards at the October event and some Halloween bits too. In November I will have a full array of Christmas goodies including cards, gift tags and my hand knitted garlands.

For more information visit BECCMARK's website or Facebook page.

Happy Wednesday!

Downley Makers' Market

Prepare yourself. I'm about to mention the C word. Christmas!!

It is September now and although I am reluctant to let go of Summer, I can't wait for Autumn. Crispy leaves, scarves, and preparations for Christmas. It is always around this time of year that I start to be on the lookout for present ideas. But what I really love to do is save some really special purchases for any craft markets I visit.

This brings me rather nicely to what I wanted to share today. I am happy to say that I will be at The Downley Makers' Market again this year and I am already looking forward to it!

I am always happy to be at this event! It is well worth popping along for some really gorgeous gifts as well as the lovely atmosphere!

You can find more information for this event here.

I will let you know about some of my other events at another time, and will probably remind you about this one nearer the time too!

Have a very lovely day!

Etsy

My Etsy shop is now open! 🎉 

My handcrafted greetings cards are available to buy online in the UK. Pop on over for special birthday cards and Christmas cards too!

Happy Tuesday!

Day Dreams and Ice Creams

It has been grey for the last few days. Where has Summer gone? I'm finding it a little hard to believe that we still have August to go - right at this very minute it feels like it could be September and Autumn next week!

So I will day dream about sunny days and ice cream lollies instead. We can pretend we want to reach for sprinkles and strawberry sauce rather than kettles and cups of tea! This is another card from my sparkly birthday range - it is perfect for birthdays or as an invitation, and can be custom made in any colours.

I've just checked the weather with great optimism. It is looking a little brighter next week. I will cross my fingers and hope for Summer!

Have a great weekend!

Christmas Puddings

Yesterday I shared my hand knitted Santa hat garlands and today I am back with Christmas Puddings!

There are five Christmas puddings on this garland and I knit each part by hand -  that's the pudding itself, the holly leaves and the berries.

The garland is £12.50 + postage and packaging, and if you're interested in getting one please contact me on Facebook or by email at katiesarah.makes@hotmail.co.uk.

Also available to order are my Christmas pudding tree decorations!

These decorations are the perfect addition to any tree or room for Christmas time. Not only are they seasonal but, hanging on trees, they are also the perfect counter to playful pets and wandering fingers. They won't break if they fall!

Each little pudding is £3 + postage and packaging and they are strung on dark blue satin ribbon.

If you would like to order either the garland or the decoration, please get in touch. I would be happy to answer any queries.

Have a very merry day!

Thank you,

Katie
