Now online

I am aware that I haven't blogged here for some time, for which I can only apologise and plead busy-ness as my excuse (oh how original...). I promise to try to do better in future...

Anyway you may be interested to know that the gallery is now selling online - hurrah! More info to follow, but if you have a sec do check out the shop, by visiting our usual site and following the link.

Blog a thon...

Right, so I'd like to bump up the gallery blog followers... The gallery twitter seems to be doing much better and faster! So pass it on - let your friends know... I'd like to get up t0 50 and then we will do a gallery giveaway competition - not sure what yet, but something nice I promise...

If you have friends that you think might be interested in our blog or the gallery, then send them this way!
thank you!

Truly Scrumptious Exhibition ready to go...

Hurrah, we're all set and ready to go for the exhibition.... Spent hours painting the wall pink last night - hope it was worth it!

Here's some pics of the set up and a bit of a sneak preview...

These lovely treasures are made by Linda Calvert...

mmmm truly scrumptious..

Another of our Truly Scrumptious artists... Naive textiles from Sue & Becks Jennings. These amazing creations are actually jewellery boxes. The chocolate cake has a removeable lid, so you can store things inside or smaller bits can be threaded into the folds in the lovely chocolate swirl. My fave is the Cherry Jelly on its own cake stand, it looks so delicious you want to eat it, but its actually hand made and felted in a vintage jelly mould! What a fab idea. Only 6 days to go now until the exhibition opens and what a manic week it will be!

Truly Scrumptious Exhibition

Our next exhibition is almost upon us.... (opens on 12th June) So exciting, as I have wanted to do an exhibition along this kind of theme for ages and I can't wait until it opens. Everything is themed along delicious food, from cupcakes and sweeties to ice cream and more... Even the canapes at the Private View will be little cakes and I'm busy scouring car boots for lovely old plates to serve them on. There's 5 artists taking part so I'm going to try and give each a mention before we open, with a sneak preview of what will be in the exhibition.... Today it's Sheila Marshall who paints these amazing, iconic images of sweets and cakes...

Lovely bunnies

Having re-done our back yard to make it a bit nicer and definitely bunny proof (ie: to stop them eating all the plants!) we have reintroduced some of the bunnies that we like! These ceramic ones are made by Victoria Lovell and are perfectly safe for the garden being completely frost proof!

Book of Green

We are now in the forthcoming 'Book of Green'. This is a fab freebie Eco-directory, listing hundreds of green or eco-friendly businesses. It will be out in July and you can get a copy from the gallery once they are in.
What a fab idea!
