Have you ever noticed that a weekend away is lovely but it seems to take forever to catch up on your routine? Here it is, Wednesday already, and I haven't done my weekend laundry or written a blog post...thank heavens for tesco.com or we'd all be starving as well.
It's all worth it though! My best friend and I spent a weekend away in a gorgeous hotel in Hellidon on the Northants/Warwickshire borders - we abandoned our children with their daddies and relaxed in the pool and the jacuzzi, ate great food and put the world to rights while wandering around lakes and Leamington. We could have done without the chest infection (me) and the stomach bug (her) but even being ill isn't so bad if you don't have to look after anyone else!
This week I've had a couple of Christmas orders in so have been working on those - the items I've come up with have a vaguely Victorian Gothic vibe to them which I quite like. These charm hoop necklaces are getting popular, so it was nice to make earrings to go with them for a change.
I've also just written the cheque for market trader's insurance, which makes it all feel terribly official. It's dawning on us all now that our stall is only a month away - will we ever have enough stock? Although Shivs at Lily Rose's Luxuries is probably thinking more about the impending birth of her baby, who is due to make an appearance any time now.
