Shopping and Open Studios

I had a lovely day yesterday in London with my friends Helena and Christina from Wivenhoe. One of our aims was to  descend on the Gudrun Sjoden shop in Monmouth Street, and, if we didn’t quite try on everything in the shop, we made a good attempt! All three of us came out clutching their lovely fabric carrier bags full of goodies. We also found a lovely French bakery and café – and came out of there clutching bags of goodies, too!

And now! There is only a very few days left before Open Studios! Have I mentioned this before? . . . .

I’m opening my studio and house as part of Colchester and Tendring Open Studios on 26th and 27th September from 11.00am to 6.00pm each day. There will be recent paintings, printed jute bags, canvas prints, 2016 calendars with one of my paintings for each month, greetings cards (including some brand new ones), and my ‘Christmas Post’ Christmas Cards for sale – but there is absolutely no obligation to buy. If you are near Colchester, do drop in for a browse, a cuppa and a chat. All the details can be found on the Open Studios website, which is www.colchesteropenstudios.org, where you will also find other studios near me that are open at the same time – so you might want to look some of those up, too, and make a day of it!

I shall be delighted if you can come, and look forward to seeing lots of my lovely readers next weekend.

Hope you have a good week! I shall certainly have a busy one, getting ready for Open Studios . . . .  oh! did I mention that before?? . . . . . . 🙂
