The display boards just needed a little tweaking to fit in the designs.
An extra strip or two of ribbon was all that was needed!
But everything else has been a little chaotic as I try to prepare samples for the show, amongst doing my normal day to day orders.
I seem to have little piles of things cropping up on every available surface. I have promised myself that I will be more organised at putting everything away, checking and replacing worn samples straight away, so come Harrogate in July, I won't be in such unorganised chaos.
I have also started up with a new agent in the North West who requires samples of everything so I have been trying to prepare all that too.
It's all good, I'm not complaining in the slightest, only wish there were more hours in the day!
One of the reasons that I did this was to fit in with the comings and goings of the children. Having flexibility is great but it does limit me to about a 5/6 hour day and at the moment that time restraint is really working against me!
Later today we are packing the car, in readiness for our drive down on Saturday. I teach all day on Friday - not great timing so my deadline is fast approaching. We've still to see whether or not my lovely dresser will fit in the car!! Still by this time next week the show will be over, and the fun will only just to starting , if Harrogate was anything to go by!
If you are a trade buyer and coming to Top Drawer do pop by and say hello - you'll find us on Stand F31.

Stunning cards :)
It all looks so organised! I wish you good luck! Have a great day,
many greetings, Judith
I heard of you through another blogger and I'm glad they mentioned you. I've had a lovely read through of some of your posts. It's been wonderful to see how your business has slowly evolved into something so professional and enjoyable. You have a lovely blog that is full of joy.
Your display looks magnificent - so much talent just in that small space.
And your stock rooms - talk about organised !
Good luck for Top Drawer, enjoy the show, it has a great atmosphere! I will come to say hello at Harrogate, as I too am doing the show. Your collection has grown and looks stunning! x
Your cards look great and I have really enjoyed reading about the progress of your business. You very kindly answered some questions for me last year. I am at the "look around stage" and will be visiting top drawer this weekend. I know you will be very busy but wondered it you would mind if I said hello as I passed by!
Feel free to pop by and say hello - I'm useless at names so give me a gentle nudge!
You have been very busy, best of luck, your display is beautiful :)
All things nice...
Good luck! I am not a trade buyer
