FIRST DAY WANSTEAD...

...Fringe and Art Trail or Art Trail and Fringe whichever way round you prefer. Despite a little dampness in the morning it was a great day, I only wish I'd had time to get round everything.

Below our Gallery at 84 Nightingale Lane, as you can see the pictures that had previously been turned to the wall for secrecy have now been revealed. On the left wall is a selection of black and white portraits of sports personalities from my magazine work. On the right wall are six black and white pictures by Helen that she took recently in New York and they are fab. We also on that wall have 3 multimedia pieces by Agnes B and two fantastic lino cuts by Alison Ball who was exhibitied at this years Royal Academy summer show, in itself no mean feat..

Our craft workshops were a big success, they ended up running nearly all day, they were a lot of fun and Lyn and Danielle demonstrated some very clever techniques. Don't forget we have lots more this month, you can find them all at Craft Boutique 84..

There was also the Wanstead Fringe Jumble Trail and there were bargains to be had, the rain stopped just in time thankfully. The picture below shows a stall in front of a house in Cowley Road, my friend Mark and his wife even provided homemade cup cakes and lemonade on their Stall in Grosvenor Road...as I'm always saying dont'ya just love Wanstead..

and finally and probably the piece de resistance.....Syd from the pet shop in the High Street crocheted around an entire bicycle, that really deserves a round of applause. And that is just the first day...
