A few months ago I decided to take the plunge and take a stand at the 

Christmas Country Living Fair London 9th-13th November. I have always been rather daunted by the scale of the show and wondered how on earth I could possible make enough stock to do a show like this.

So for the first time I am getting some help making my stock. This is a big development for me. Scary and exciting all at the same time!

Last week the samples arrived for my Christmas Aprons and Tea Towels  

I'm still making all the napkins myself. 

Also available are Christmas Cafetiere Cosy's! 

Come and visit my stand

It will be lovely to see you!

Great fun at the weekend doing a photo shoot with my sister modelling

all my aprons in the new linen union fabric. Now all

available in my etsy shop. Why not pop over and have a look!

Had a great time this weekend doing a photo shoot with my sister. 

It makes such a difference seeing my aprons being modelled. I really please with the results.

A big thank you to Anne-marie Sullivan!

I set up my Chez Beccy stand last weekend at the Vesey Rooms in Bampton. I have my Aprons, Tea Towels, Napkins, Lavender Hearts and Cards for sale.

 I went back today to see how it looked with everyone elses things. 

Lesley Williams has some lovely pottery, her mugs are gorgeous.

Lovely chopping boards from Tuula of Stikdesign.

And homemade chutney from Ann-Margret, just lovely the spotty green covers!

and of course plenty of Downton Abbey souvenirs!!!

I love Christmas, I always get so excited and now the clocks have changed its really winter so I can start planning with gusto! I love thinking about the entertaining that I want to do and organise the food menus, think about what and when to decorate. I even have a special notebook where I write my menu plans, shopping list and top tips. Its actually good to look back on as well to see what I cooked and for how many people! And this year I'm going to be wearing my new Christmas Apron!

So I've been loving making my Christmas Aprons, Tea Towels and Napkins ready for the Christmas Craft show season! My first one is a my nephew's school with several others in the following few weekends.

My Christmas Aprons and Tea Towels are ready

I've also made up gift sets, complete with gift tag to write your message on and mini peg to attach to your gift!

just the napkins to make now!

So I've been busy preparing for my first craft stall. Only 2 weeks away now.

I've designed my price labels.

Made up some bags of loose lavender.

And I've been working out the layout of my stall.

Just a bit of time now to make some extra stock, incase I sell loads!
