Or you could have these, with a delightful picture of a cow among the buttercups. she seems to have snaffled quite a few of them already, and I don’t think the others are going to last much longer, judging by the look in her eye!

These beautiful candlesticks have been made by the very talented Eugene Osborne in ash. They would grace anyone’s home. Grab them at Alphington Village Hall on 4–5 November 2023.

Justine Fitton, of Green Heart Kitchen, will be bringing her mouthwatering handmade organic chocolates to the Artisan Craft Fair – perfect for Christmas gifts, if you can bear to part with them!!

Isn’t this a great photo! It’s Judith Otto in her studio with a thrown bowl she’s just taken off the wheel. I love the fact that she’s covered in clay – our exhibitors really do get dirty making beautiful things for you!

Oh my goodness! How brilliant is this piece of needle-felt artwork by Jane Curthoys? Wacky, wonderful – and I know that scenario so well-

What a gorgeous way to present Santa and Rudolph with their Christmas treats! This lovely plate is the work of Wonky Pots by Dawn. Keep looking for more of her work!
