Good morning folks
It’s time for the annual pic of me and my trusty paintbrushes and what perfect timing to be able to share with you today that I am now a fully fledged member of the Country Living Artisan Community
A great big thank you to Luwana and all the team for the very warm welcome. Regular followers will have seen my Hand Painted Stems featured in various issues of CL over the past few years. It is always such a thrill to see them in print and has made a huge impact on my business and has really helped to broaden my reach introducing my work to a new like minded audience
It has been wonderful too to have the CL affiliation displayed on my stand as I travel around the fairs and live events as so many visitors recognise this much loved and trusted publication, often providing the perfect prompt for a friendly conversation
If you are a new follower here - thank you for finding me, you are most welcome here and I hope you enjoy my occasional posts about my work and the many fantastic shows I attend. A very brief resume - I am a designer maker hailing from God’s Own Country - Yorkshire but now based in beautiful Somerset UK where I produce my range of Hand Painted Flowers, Paper Cut Cards, and Seasonal Decorations (all made with natural, sustainable materials, and eco friendly paint finishes). Following recent eye surgery which has really slowed me down I am also currently teaching myself watercolour with a view to steadily taking my work in a slightly different ( less tech intensive!) direction. I’m excited to see where this new expression meanders …
In the meantime you can find out more about my current range and where to find me over the coming months over on my website:

Thanks so much to all of you for your continued kind words and warm support - Maggie 🌸
