My stall is scheduled to be at the south end (Polk Street) of the event. I will have new items with me including Print Journals featuring prints from my hand carved rubber stamps. I will also have my usual range of products.

I will be at the Evanston Art & Big Fork Festival on Friday 19, Saturday 20 & Sunday 21 August. My Art & Craft Fair bookings for the rest of the year may be seen here.

I have developed some new textile collages with calligraphy, and they may be seen here and purchased here.

I can produce a customised version of any of my products which you may want for a special occasion. Examples of previous commissions can be seen here. Email me to discuss your ideas.

I continue to add to my range of Greetings Cards which may be seen here. I have kept my cards at the pre-Covid price of £2 or $3, which makes them exceptional value. They may be purchased here. The deleted items from my range have been included in my Bargain Packs of 20 cards for £10 which may be purchased online at the end of the Greetings Card Shop.

I have an ongoing requirement for new or used envelopes. All sizes are welcome and any quantities will be gratefully received. I am also always grateful for any hard back books or fabrics including coloured bed sheets that you are able to donate. I can also use in my printing any papers or card such as calendars, unused paper pads, coffee table books, magazines made from heavy weight paper,  unembossed wallpapers etc.

I have added some photos of this year's events to my web site here. They include customers both new and old showing the bags that they have purchased from me.

I have added some mid-summer photos of my Garden on the Garden page of my website.
