It's All About Winning

It's nearly that time of year again when my competitive nature comes to the fore. Right now I am busily planning what to enter in Modbury's annual Fruit & Produce Show.


Last year the 'Dupere' entries did ok.


Mind you there were only 2 entries in this class!

The really challenging classes for me are the vegetable ones.  I am a fair weather gardener so you've got to be tough to survive in my veg patch.  My cabbages .....



will not be going to the show but to the guinea pigs! Anyway I have digressed, this is supposed to have some relevance to interiors, fabrics or some of the lovely things we are lucky enough to sell in the shop.

So, here is a picture of Arwyn's beautiful pottery that we sell.  Do have a look at our website, my favourite is this blue but we also have cream.   Hopefully will be stocking some of the green glaze soon.



And that's my veg. I'm particularly chuffed with the potatoes as I wasn't aware I was growing them this year!

In keeping with the fruit and vegetable theme; our ever popular "post it" notes...



Charming tea towels, beautifully packaged and easy to send as a pressie.....




Fabrics, two very different ones, Scion's retro 'carrots and peas'  and Voyage's 'market veg' shown on ivory linen also available on a natural linen and as an oil cloth.


BRIBERY!!
10% off any Scion and Voyage fabrics if you like us on Facebook and mention our blog and/or website from now until the end of July!


Rather proud of this photo which neatly links the Fruit & Produce programme with one of the new Ian Sanderson vintage style cushions.   

Must sign off as I am meant to be creating some covers for our new deckchairs and if I don't do it now the summer will be over!  I'll write again next month and let you know how I get on at the show.
