ISSUE 8 FEB 2015
As Spring starts to knock on the door, I feel the phone ring more violently than usual and the vintage season starts to hot up. The diary is getting to the point where I am now having to start writing events and dates in the margins!
This issue sees the return to the nitty gritty stuff. We tackle the art of stage acts to starting your own gardening business. If you are keen to get out in the slightly warmer air and dig those weeds, we gently show you how to make a winning success of your green obsession.
As you can see to your left, Helen Jones and I have got the flyers out, the venue is booked and we are all ready for the off! If you are a vintage trader or stall holder either craft, homemade, retro, repro or vintage, we would love to have you there pitching alongside us. Click on the image here and it will take you straight to the festival website where you can book your pitch. It's hugely exciting putting on a festival on this scale, and it is set to be the biggest in the calendar!
Meanwhile, time to get back to the issue,
Best wishes,
Michelle Hatcher
