Table Top Productions

Today has been an 8 out of 10 day!! Productive and very satisfying..
I can spend days spinning around chasing my tail and achieving diddly-squat, but today I feel as though I have actually achieved something. I have recently received an order from a local shop in Bath to supply them with some of my Vintage toy box frames...but now my stock is drastically depleted I have to start creating more for an up and coming Christmas Fair and continue to keep my web-page stocked. I know this reeks or shameless self promotion.. and I suppose that is exactly what it is but being a one man band, like so many of you, without an agent or PR, I have to try and reach the masses if I am to make some success of this new business.. sink or swim syndrome.

Here is one of today's creations..


I have a very high tech work room...aka.. the kitchen table

Love what I see of your kitchen. Which reminds me I must get on with my curtains which are also made on the kitchen table. I am in the process of making curtains for Nigella the campervan and my study - which is also being painted by me along with a couple of wicker chairs and some old frames.......if I stopped blogging I would probably have finished by now !

Hi Michele,
CONGRATULATIONS on your frame order - that really is fantastic news......

And I just have to say that I think your kitchen is GORGEOUS!! It should be in the pages of a magazine!

Have a great weekend and have fun making your new frames!

Thank you all who have been kind enough to comment and welcome me to blogging this week.

Now come on everyone.. I still have no correct answers to my mystery photo. Katherine's Dream came the closest..
