Alnmouth 2014

A lovely weekend at the Alnmouth Art's Festival.

This Allium embroidery went to a new home in California.

It was lovely to meet so many people and see familiar faces from previous years.

Looking forward to next year already.

shoals of fish

The house is filling up with shoals of lavender fish as I continue to prepare for the Arts Festival at Alnmouth.

 

I shall be in the Dandelion Cafe again this year, it's such a lovely venue.

I'll be bringing these cute puffins along, I hope they behave.

There will also be a flottila of sail boats, I am resisting the urge to sing " I saw three ships go sailing by"...................

A basket of lavender fish in progress
