Fall Festival

I've been busy working in theatre for a few weeks. I thought it would be a nice idea to do a little pop-up shop there, which soon spiralled into a festival with help from Kat, a talented illustrator. For guests we had a pumpkin decorating competition, guest judged by the glorious Victoria Wood and our lovely Harriet Thorpe. To tie in with the Macmillan cancer coffee morning we had a cake stall which raised nearly £300, a kissing booth with a dashing dancer adding to the funds. As the costume department are hugely talented we had a whole selection of fab homemade stalls, hot chocolates, handpainted bags, bath bombs, and from 'The sweet pickle company' 'Spookeys' 'Bravegirlgifts' alongside a selection of new pieces from Abbie Walsh inc sequin jackets, a beautiful sequin and lame dress, sparkley collars, rosette headbands, necklaces, flower wrist corsages ..... such fun all in 45mins...! 

My entree for the pumpkin competion,'A Spider's nest' (with help from my little 3yr old son Kit).. we were a proud 4th

And the winners are..... the swing boys.. Judged by Victoria Wood and Harriet Thorpe. They were presented with a rosette and a hamper full of goodies.
