What better way to chase away the winter blues than throwing an Afternoon Tea & Mini Craft Fair at Hepplewhite's HQ, one icy Sunday in late February? Add a bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose, which had been chilling patiently in the fridge, to grace such an occasion, some smoked salmon sandwiches and homemade cream cakes - all that was needed was some craft!
And craft we had, not only from Hepplewhite's Emporium but also from multi-media artist, Nicola Arnold. Nicola's love of all things vintage plus her background in printing and design, translates into unique and varied creations over many mediums. From decorated mirrors, to buttons, brooches and greetings cards. My favourite pieces were a copper butterfly brooch and a horse skeleton motif lavender bag!

Plans for future Afternoon Tea & Mini Craft Fairs at Hepplewhite's HQ are in the pipeline and I hope to be able to offer art and pottery from other local crafters too...although those crafters are not yet aware of my plans, so I will have to charm them into agreeing to take part first!

Meanwhile, to chase off the remainder of the winter blues, I'm dreaming of a sunny summer's day in the garden at Hepplewhite's HQ, with a few more crafters at their white-clothed tables, offering an enticing selection of their own unique and beautiful handmade creations.
