Well that was pretty awesome, I have to say!
We’re all packed up, the marquees have come down, and you’d never have known we were there!
A year’s worth of planning, organising, and coordinating, done and dusted in two days.
The show came together beautifully, but went so fast!
We’ve had some lovely comments and photos from visitors and artists over the weekend, which we’ll be sharing over the next couple of days. 🫶
We’d like to say a few thank you’s…
To Edwina and George, it’s been so lovely working with you, thank you for hosting the show at Maxstoke castle, everyone absolutely adored your beautiful home. 😍
To every single artist who worked tirelessly perfecting their displays and showcasing such high-quality handmade works of art. As usual, we heard so many wonderful comments from visitors about the standard of work, and we feel incredibly proud 🥹
To all the visitors who came along, thank you for supporting the show and for choosing to shop handmade! we hope you enjoyed your day, we can’t wait to see you again soon 🤗
To the team behind it’s been great to work with you, thank you for entertaining visitors and giving us a glimpse into what medieval crafts looked like 👌
To Peri and his team always a slick, professional service, even with the slight logistical challenge of a 14th-century archway!
And to the marshals, and dear friend a huge thank you. Without you, we quite simply couldn’t do it ♥️ 👏
All the sleepless nights have been totally worth it, We’re both absolutely shattered and look like we’ve been dragged through a bush!
Definitely ready for a day off tomorrow! 😴
it’s been a pleasure, we look forward to seeing you again next year! 🙌
