Fingers crossed that pesky jet stream will have moved a little more and we will have fine weather for Lafrowda Day on Saturday.
If it does stay fine we will be opening the TEA GARDEN and serving cream teas, cakes and sandwiches all day long.




I am also delighted with the new work that has arrived from Cecile Sea Ceramics - beautiful cast porcelain oyster shells for dipping pots and tea lights.  They are a delight to look at and touch.



Jane Booth's clever terracotta jugs, mugs and bowls have also arrived and I sold one even as I was pricing them up!




Finally a couple of shots of the gallery as it currently looks.







We will be so busy on Saturday I will need to call on my two lovely gallery assistants Margaret and Kara to help - we'll all need a long rest on Sunday.

It's sunny...

I just made one of these....

Just in case you were wondering - here is a picture of Kara in her prom dress - and yes! they all behaved and had a great time!

Poor visitors - no wonder everyone is in a bad mood - the weather has only slightly improved today - and I was going to go and see 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at the Plen here in St Just but couldn't face the soaking!
Sales still seem to be holding up against all odds in the gallery and the new stock is selling well.
I have been busy making in the pottery and concentrating on new work - such a luxury to have time to do that - helped by my beautiful daughter Kara who is now an official member of staff - and very good she is too!

Here is the latest Cow Family.

I have returned from Brighton much inspired.
I have seen lovely new work and was delighted to find out that one of my favourite artists personally and from the gallery's perspective has had a painting of a hare accepted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition!  Not only is this a great honour and compliment - she sold it on the first evening!!

So just in case I bought three more by her as you can see above!  They are called 'Whistful Cat', 'Posh Pug' and 'Slightly Irritated Pug' and I love them all.
All the best to you Sally - you deserve it!

I also think caterpillars will be big this year - and birds and all things British seem to be everywhere in the shops still.  I did see one or two empty shops though - so nowhere is immune to the recession - not even beautiful Brighton!
