A peek at the Open Studio set up for this weekend

On Saturday and Sunday (6-7 July) our studio-gallery (601mvr) is open to the public from 10am to 4pm each day - and I think we are ready. Not only do we have things to show and talk to people about; but we have also given the studio-gallery a bit of a tidy and clean - you can see the view through glistening windows.

I thought I would share a few photos of what people might see as they walk down the driveway; around the studio-gallery; and inside.

So there you have it - all we need is people to join us. Can't worry about that - off to make pizzas and have a glass of red - all is well.

  4. Oh my...how very neat...and FULL of luvverly stuff. I can barely restrain myself from racing up the mountain to visit, but three times in a week would be too much. Still loving those 'watch' earrings.

  5. Looks so neat and tidy, wish I was stumping around on my sticks (I have graduated from a walker, thank goodness.!) Hope it is a great week end.
