You may think I have the labels on this photo the wrong way round but I haven't! It really was sunny with blue skies and about 30 degrees for the market on Saturday 23 April, but rather cloudy, windy and quite cold on Saturday 25 June.

Thank you to everyone who came along! See more photos on the Curiosity. Haus Facebook page.

Sneinton Market this Saturday!

Come along to Sneinton Market, Nottingham for Nottingham’s Best Independent Market Featuring the Finest Designer Makers. An incredible mix of goods from Illustration and Prints to Jewellery, Ceramics and Textiles. Who could resist a beautifully handmade gift from a local maker? Treat someone or treat yourself! ;)

Saturday 25 June 2011

Sneinton Market
Gedling Street

Curiosity.Haus Contemporary Craft and Design Fair aims to showcase the talent of local and national designers and encourage promotion of independent and quality handmade goods. Please see www.curiosityhaus.co.uk for more information.

I'll be there with some new cards in gorgeous summery colours and some bags which would be perfect for taking to the beach. Ah, summer has arrived!

Have a look at my photos from the last market at Sneinton. Hope the weather is this good again :) See you there!

Summer fruits

What can you do with a glut of homegrown summer fruits? Bake this delicious pie! [Note: I substituted the rhubarb (bleurgh!) with raspberries, blackcurrants and extra strawberries]

I spy with my little eye...

New cards at Mansfield Museum

I have restocked the gift shop at Mansfield Museum with some new cards!

All cards are made from 100% recycled paper bases and envelopes. Price £1.50.

Ladybird, ladybird

Ladybird, ladybird! Fly away home!

The field-mouse has gone to her nest,

The daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes,

And the bees and the birds are at rest.
