Yesterday I journeyed right across south London to the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. The venue, a former church, was fascinating in itself. The purpose of the visit was an exhibition called Sparkle and one of the main reasons for the visit was to see the work of Jackie Cardy of Dog Daisy Chains who hails from the north west like me. This is my little memento
She loves to work with tweed and velvet and her bags were delicious.
While speaking to Jackie I discovered that another exhbitor was from my home town. Karen A Ruane has a beautiful blog called Contemporary Embroidery.
Another little treat to myself was this box of cards by Mary Thorp
Beautiful.
Couldn't be so close and not go and look at the river at the narrow end....
and of course I had to play
A good day.

Glad you had a great time.
WE all need to treat ourselves to a little something now and again don't we? Anyway one thing I like about our type of blogs is how we really appreciate things and have gratitude for them. If we are grateful and make the most of things then generally more good luck comes our way. I'm glad you had such a lovely day x
It was so lovely to see you both. I had a big smile all day thinking about meeting bloggers in real life. I'm home now and so tired.
I hope you had a good journey back.

Sounds like you had a good time. Love those cards!
What a great post, Pat, I already knew of Dog daisy chain's blog and have it on bloglines, but a trip to Karen's blog had me drooling, her work is absolutely stunning, lucky you to see her work in the flesh.
