But where are the work-of-art knitted hats?
Almost in Scotland.

What a brilliant idea, and some lovely entries, particularly the hareball!  Thanks for sharing it all with us Emma, I bet Joe wishes he had thought of that for the Gala!

Is it wood? I liked it too. And the snowdrop jewellery. Probably a good job Joe doesn't know about it, he'd probably be obliged to but the lot for his collection.

What a fantastic show!
 So many questions.....  is the hareball made of? wood? Oops, didn't see the reply that is is clay .

( Mentioned  "hareball" to Ian and next door's cat, who happened to be passing, coughed and fainted when I said what size the "hairball" is!!!!! )

What are the  "pots" of 'drops and those in the driftwood made of?  Who made 'em?  Where do they sell them?

The snowdrops in the drift wood were made of Cold porcelain, made by Christina Hunt , the small one was for sale at £20 , the biggest was £55

I will find the link for the arts centre
