Walton Hall Fayre 9th September 2012

Went to Walton Hall Gardens today, & it was beautiful! loads going on...Sunday it seems is a family day, primarily we went to see were we would be pitched in a couple of weeks time, (  on the 9th September 2012 ) for the huge Country Fayre event, & we were very pleased at the surroundings...it`s gorgeous!! A super play area, together with oodles of wide open spaces for the kid`s to run wild & loads of silence for Mums & Dads to relax & unwind underneath the leafy trees.

These pictures are of a charming little train that runs around the gardens, fabulous for any older / younger visitors that hate walking!!
So bring yourself a picnic, or have Sunday lunch at any of the local pubs,  (all of which seem to be child friendly,) & enjoy a free day out exploring unusual  crafting stalls containing handmade items that won`t be found anywhere on the high street.

Tangerine dream, Glamour Puss, & First Blush



Three special brand new soaps made for this day available for sale on our stall.

Mint Choc Chip before & after!

Before
























This is our fabulous Heavenly bodies Mint Choc Chip luxury handmade soap which was made at the beginning of July, as you can see before the curing the soap is pale in colour & soft to the touch...the curing process takes about 4 weeks, and often the texture changes and the colour develops. We are delighted with this soap, it's the perfect mix of fresh mintyness combined with a lovely warm chocolate truffle scent.





And after!!




It`s a great soap, what more can we say !! not long till we cut `Glamour Puss`
