Wow! What a productive weekend us Horgans have had. We made the most of Saturday's gorgeous October sun and whizzed down to Lepe beach, grabbed a cup of coffee (for the grown ups) and water and snacks (for the littles), and then trundled along the beach looking for driftwood, shells and all manner of other debris that might be useful in my creations. We managed to secure quite a haul in just over an hour (it normally takes me at least 2 hours on my own). My team were happy, cheery and uncomplaining and I didn't even have to pay them!

The purpose of this latest visit to the beach is to ensure I have enough 'stock' for the upcoming Winchester Handmade Christmas Fair on 1st and 2nd December. I am aiming to create a range of desirable driftwood and decoupage goods with prices ranging from £1 up to £40 or £50. Pricing the goods is the trickiest part of this project since one has to take account of time, fuel, packaging and basic costs such as hooks, ribbons, varnish, glue and so on - not an easy task I can assure you! I have made some truly gorgeous things and just hope the customers/shoppers think the same. There are stars, hearts, mirrors - all varying in size and embellishment - all divine and made with love.
