bon iver at the hollywood forever cemetery

this would have been a perfect sunday for us ......
if we had been there

midnight
in a cemetery

palm trees

amongst the mist & fog
buddhist monks
big screen films
and
watching the sunrise
to the beautiful sounds of
bon iver

the rain

we are trying not to let this rain get us down
but it's difficult

we thought this was a romantic way of looking at the rain though
it's from the howies autumn 09 catalogue

"to catch a raindrop is something
this raindrop has fallen on dinosaurs.
on cavemen.
on bloodied battlefields.
on the birth of religions.
and the fall of mighty empires.
and the start of revolutions.
on cities that no longer exist.
and countries before they had people in them.
this raindrop in on a loop that will never end.
this is your time in it's life.
enjoy."

cranborne chase woodfair

our first show this autumn is Cranborne Chase Woodfair
at the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens in Dorset.

the show is this weekend - saturday 10th & sunday 11th october
and is open from 10am to 5pm both days.

you can find us in the shopping marquee where
we will be showing a range of our furniture & accessories
including coffee tables, mirrors & clocks, lamps & lanterns,
chopping boards & more.

we have never been to Larmer Tree Gardens before but from
the images we have seen, they look stunning
(fingers crossed for lovely sunshine).

there should be lots and lots to see at the show from furniture makers
to green wood workers, sustainable living exhibitors to basket makers,
conservation & wildlife groups to local food producers
and, of course, beautiful handmade work from makers & artists.


for more details visit www.woodfair.org

hope to see you there.

another busy week

It's feeling very autumnal around here which, as long as
the sun stays out, is fine and always looks beautiful here in Devon.

we've had another busy busy week and now it's the weekend
and that beautiful autumn sunshine has turned to wind and rain.
let's hope the sun returns for next weekend as we will be at a show
(more about that in the next post).

we got lots done this week:
we finally got all our gallery deliveries done,
took some of our furniture & accessories to another magazine
photo shoot -again in the Cotswolds
(more about that when the mag comes out),
and met up with the Love Factor gang to discuss another exhibition.

Glenn has been getting work ready for the show and I have been
making lanterns and getting our autumn & winter mail outs ready.
And we managed to clear a space at the back of our barn
ready for our winter wood stack (thanks to jackie & andy).

hope you are all having a lovely weekend.
