New collections and Art in the Pen, Carlisle

I had a lovely time exhibiting at Art in the Pen, Carlisle at the weekend. It was the first of it's kind in Carlisle and it was wonderful to be apart of this event being in my home town. Thank you so much to everyone that came along and supported the event and also who visited my stand. It was lovely chatting and meeting you all. I also launched some new pieces at the event including these cute little bird house hangings which went down a treat...


...and these new plate clocks...
