Good evening,

I can't believe that it's Friday again tomorrow...we've got the Spring Fayre at Port Solent on Saturday so fingers crossed for good weather. There will be lots going on including strolling entertainers, so if you don't have plans pop on over!

I've got some new dies to show you and they are now online, here's a link to my Etsy shop (there's also a bit of a sale going on too)

Have a good weekend!

Good morning,

So it's Sunday again and I hope your week has been good? We've actually had the heating on again at one point!

Monday was my day off and here's a selection of photos of what I got up to....please feel free to keep scrolling if they're not 'your thing'.

Happy Sunday! 🩷

Just wanting to help make people aware that there will be a fee for camper vans to park overnight. Please see post below for full info.

Parking update at Port Solent 🚐

We want to make parking at Port Solent fair and accessible for everyone, so we’re making a small change to how overnight motorhome parking works.

From today, 13 May, overnight parking for motorhomes and campervans will cost £10 per night, with stays limited to one night only. This helps ensure more visitors can enjoy Port Solent without spaces being taken up for extended periods.

Parking will be managed by an independent operator using ANPR technology, with clear new signage on site to guide you.

If you’re planning a visit, please take a moment to check the new parking terms before you arrive. Payment for parking will be via RingGo location number 27553.

👉 More details are available on our website.

Thanks for helping us keep Port Solent welcoming for all our visitors.

Good morning and happy Friday!

Here's some of the delivery of large dies from Xcut, there's also some small ones as well (which are on Etsy already) and I'll post those next week to keep you fully updated.

Here's the link for Etsy if you'd like to take a look.

If you haven't come across the brand before, Xcut are reliable and I've sold them for years; they are compatible with most die cutting systems and their price point is competitive.

Have a good weekend.🙂

First off I hope you had an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend?

Secondly, as we're now into May I thought I'd give you a heads up about a couple of events coming up here in the not too distant future.

On Saturday 23 May we have the return of our Spring Fayre to the site which was very busy last year and a huge success.

Following that on Saturday 6 June we have our very popular Comic Con event. If you'd like more information check out the Port Solent website and or their social media.

The on site parking is still free so if you come for an event/cinema visit/shopping/meal you can stay all day without having to worry.

Sorry about the photo it's just a random one taken in the garden yesterday as the poppies looked so lovely swaying away😍

Happy Tuesday and wasn't it was a glorious day yesterday?

It was my day off so myself and Mr T had a trip out to to get some plants for the garden, in particular we wanted a remembrance shrub for Hope our lurcher who we lost in October last year.

The winter pansies are still going well in the planters so in preparation of replacing them we picked up some nice annuals; also a couple of white lavender and some veggie plants which were courgette, cucumber and tomatoes.

Thanks to https://www.facebook.com/MountFollyNurseries1 as their plants are good quality and always last well.

Hope you've had a good start to the week!

Happy sunny Saturday!

If you’re someone who likes to get organised sooner rather than later, here’s some Father’s Day cards with a little humour.

All are in store now whilst stock lasts.

Have a great weekend!😎

Good evening,

It's been another bright day today which I think makes everyone feel so much happier.

This is just a short post to let you know abut some kits for junior crafters which are now in stock; all are fully licensed products.

It was so hard to choose which crystal art kits to buy as there are so many lovey designs to choose from! Don't forget that we have a free Comic Con at Port Solent on Saturday 6 June, more info will follow nearer the time.

Have a fab Friday!

Good morning,

The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day...

Stickers are always popular with the young and not so young alike...and this is my latest selection.

Have a good weekend and don't forget to look for that nugget of joy🩷

Good evening,

I hope you've enjoyed your weekend; it's been great to see the blue sky today but at Port Solent the wind still made it a chilly time for people visiting the market.

Santoro Gorjuss is a British brand which has become increasingly popular over the years and these paper (even though it's card) doll kits are still as popular as ever.

With the exception of craft sticky pads everything else you need is included in the kit. With die cut pieces and 4 designs to choose from they make a great quick project or gift.

Priced at just £4 each they are now in store and available on line on my Etsy shop.
