In Arundel

Also....
the
Arundel by Candlelight is looming.
( Where, Oh where, did this year go?)
Its on Saturday 8th December
The town absolutely BUZZES......
There are loads more stalls this year,
both down in the High Street
and up into Tarrant Street........
I am sure Father Christmas will be along,
when he finds a parking place. HaHa
We will have our stand outside the butchers in the square
and have a few unusual gift items
and our own Arundel Christmas cards.
Come along and join in the fun/havoc/festivities
Find out a bit more here on the Arundel Org site
a walk round the showroom
I am desperately trying to work on pieces and update the website at the same time,
and the latter doesn't come easy I have to say........it takes me an age.....
Oh .....not enough hours in the day
The showroom is only open by appointment, at the moment...
so if you want to wander there yourself,
just give us a ring or email to make an appointment

So, for anyone who wonders what we do...
here is a little meander around Nass and my showroom
I've also been trying to get back to walking up
into the park or along the riverbank
on a daily jaunt,
but am finding it difficult, time wise,
particularly now its getting dark so early,
and only manage a circuit round the town at the end of the day.
So here...for my benefit and yours if you like Arundel.....here is a record of a sunny, Sunday,
November walk
a little musical walk......
By the way, if you are interested in doing one of our workshops
here in our lovely town, I can put you on to a couple of beautiful b & b's.
Maybe you could make a weekend of it?
we have had fun over the past few months
Its not ALL gilt and butterflies decoupage....a bit of cheekiness goes on as well...LOL
We are not governed by using certain products........... we try out everything
Decorative Painting workshops
Learn to
paint & distress,
wax and age,
crackle and craquelure
decoupage,
& gild.....
make an old piece of furniture
you
found unloved,
looking seriously
destined for the rubbish tip,
into, at the most, a work of art
& treasured heirloom
at the very least
very much more beautiful than it did.
At the same time, enjoying
the tranquillity
of our
Riverside Studio
in the beautiful,
country town of Arundel,
where
you will be learning in a small friendly class
and enjoying a tasty, vegetarian lunch
with a glass of wine.
I know, I know, LOL, they really are as fun as they sound
We have met some lovely people and had some great workshops over the past few months.
Here is what some of them have to say.....
"What a wonderful, inspirational day,
I loved every minute of it"
"What an incredible experience
doing decoupage with Brenda."
Ha ha this person added
"her ideas and her talent are endless,
her charm is delightful,
now add her scrumptious lunch
and you won't want to leave"
Thank you Sandy,
I only just noticed all those
wonderful things you said,
and now my head is
so large I cannot get
out of my house through the door.
I would also like to officially
sign you up as my agent.
Ha Ha
" I never thought I could
do anything remotely usable"
said Chrissie,
who turned this

| and this |
 |
| into this...she had NEVER done anything like this before. |
