Its the last day of November and where has the time gone?! I don’t really do Christmas until it’s December, and thats tomorrow! Heck, I best get festive. Last weekend I was at the Lincolnshire Show Ground for 3 days at The Food & Gift Show 2016. The Pippy Oak tables I took were very popular, as well as the …
Kirstie Allsopp’s The Handmade Fair at Hampton Court Palace – Sep’ 2016.
Er’indoors, Mrs Lapagemade, and I set off really early to get to The Green at Hampton Court. To find our spot and set-up our props so to show our wares off as we had planned. I think we hit every bit of traffic from deepest darkest Lincolnshire to downtown Surrey. It took 4 instead of 3 hours and it decided …

I have engraved a quote from Roald Dahl’s ‘The Twits’. The next table I’m going to do (besides the one I’ve been comissioned to do by Er’Indoor for her birthday, …
A New Year….
Best laid plans and everything….. The run up to Christmas was hectic to say the least, with orders from shops and order from Louth & Stamford markets, with breaking a bone in my foot and with extra Sunday markets and fairs. I didn’t get chance to breath some days. We had a lovely time away over Christmas with faimily, packed …
Liberty’s Open Call 2016.
LapageMade has some exciting tales from our visit yesterday to the most magnificent London department store… Liberty London. We set off from home at 6am with half a dozen of LapageMade’s wares, packed in a suitcase and with speech in hand and some figures heading for Liberty’s Open Call 2016. We joined the queue a little bit later than hoped, …
