Old Barn Christmas Market

The Old Barn Market was a great sucsess and we had loads of people visiting us on sunday.

It was a cold and sunny, so perfect day for a christmas market.

Loads of different stalls. Soaps, flowers, knitting, decorations, baking, clay, felt, food and more, so something for everyones taste. I hope you that came enjoyed yourselves as much as I did, and for those of you that didnt come, well you know where to go next year.. 

Remember the Old Barn Market is open every sunday,

but maybe not with all of these different stall holders.

 It varies from week to week.

Also - dont forget to pop up to my workshop on a saturday!

I have it open every saturday from 1 to 4 and I would love to se YOU:)

I cant belive its already 10 months since my little prince was born..

Yesterday 10 months ago i rushed into the hospital in Drogheda early in the morning,

after my good friend Petra came to mind Ellen Anna and Marcus.

It couldnt have taken more than 15 minutes

before she was at the house after I had called her,

and she then had gotten herself and her two kids out of bed and dressed and drove up here.

Must have been a personal record.. LOL;)

Just sitting here thinking today that I really have to treasure every moment,

because time really flies..

Hope yous all are having a nice relaxing summer,

even if the weather could be MUCH better..

Today it feels more like fall than summer..

But not to complain.. It can be nice to sit inside drinking a nice cuppa

and looking at The Last Airbender

with the kids..

Ps! A couple of new things in the shop..

Happy sunday ;)
