Gratitude

Finally the date has come! Yesterday was my first ever public show FLARE. Despite the sleepless night, I somehow managed to prepare the display pretty smoothly. We had many visitors and I received lovely feedback from them. Thank you so much for those who came along. My aim on this occasion was to gain experience, "if I could cover the stand fee it would be ok" I thought. Fortunately I had good sales over all, plus a commission order and one shop was interested in having my work! How exciting! 
All of this began from here, this blog that I started in June. Without your encouragement and lovely messages, it wouldn’t have happened, so thank you soooooo much everyone. For return, I am thinking about a ‘give away’ before Christmas time. So watch this space. For now, here are some images of my stand at FLARE. Hope you like them. 
Thank you everyone! xm
