I'm back - albeit breifly, from a wonderful weekend on the Isle of Wight at dapplegrey art's first show of the season, and I'm thrilled to say, in terms of sales, it was the best ever.

I caught up with friends I've made on the craft fayre circuit - honestly, it's like a big reunion every year.  These are brilliant events just for the social aspect as well as the financial aspect!



It was hot though ... jeez, was it hot.  Inside a big plasticised canvas marquee, it was like a sauna, and just by way of a demonstration - here's a picture of me stepping out for a breath of fresh air at the BEGINNING of the day...


can you even imagine what I looked like at the end of it???

I sold two originals at the show, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.  There was a kind of beautiful symmetry to the fact that the one I sold on Saturday had been on the stall for ten years, my squirrel pic - Red Alert:



Then on Sunday, my Alpaca pic, Alpaca Lips Now, found his way to a lovely new home, and that was after he'd been on the stall for a whole ten hours!



So now, the dapplegrey art roadshow rolls on to the other side of the Isle of Wight, with the Freshwater Summer Fete next Saturday!

It must have been hotter than a pizza-chef's face in your marquee! But it sounds like you had a great time and I love that you sold one of your oldest and your newest artworks!

It was like a sauna, but going outside wasn't any better because there was no shade.

When I got back to Mum and Dad's house, the shower was definitely my friend!
