Staterooms and Celebrities

 I awoke to a beautiful  but incredibly cold morning, the bottled gas had frozen in my caravan and it took many minutes before I had the courage to climb out of my warm bed and into many layers of clothes.
I scampered over to the exhibitors entrance of  Wrest Park with Romor Exhibitions and felt the heat of the building wrap around me   I soon had a hot cup of tea and was happily eating my breakfast as the other crafters started to drift in.

  

This was the view as I walked into the lovely warm exhibition room!

The frost and dusting of snow was even more beautiful viewed from inside in the luxury of the state rooms.

Although many exhibitors had set the day before as I had, only 2 others had been hardy enough or do I mean foolish enough to stay in caravans on site!

 The huge antique mirror behind my stand had made us very cautious when we set up the previous evening! It usually only takes us 20 minutes to put up the frame. This time it took nearly an hour as we were so worried about bumping or breaking anything!!!

I had plenty of time to check over my stand and have a calm wander around the exhibition before the visitors started to arrive.

My exploring was made even more special by the amazing rooms we were exhibiting in.

This painting was on the ceiling above my stand!

Later that day I met Vickie, who makes the most yummy preserves."Humbers Homemade"
She was our Celebrity exhibitor as she had been featured on  BBC The One Show earlier that week.

Vickie's sunny personality lit up the room, and it was a real pleasure to hear how her online sales had gone sky high since her appearance on TV. I've really enjoyed reading her blog since I came home too.

 On Sunday Emma came to help, I was very happy to take a break and grab some food before it was time to pack up again ready for another show  next weekend at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.
