Is it really 2 weeks...

.....since I blogged.?? Suppose it must be, what with The Trade Show, QVC and the trip to Norway.!!! Yikes. well here goes with a quick lowdown on events...

First it was off to Birmingham for the British Craft Trade Show. We always get in a day early to teach Ranger Education classes to retailers.

Here I am modelling Tim's project

Hard work but always time for some fun.

the gorgeous Kaz was my lovely assistant Fifi...so new teeth were called for.

Then on to the trade show, where my products were on their British Launch...Yee Hah...

Then we hotfooted it up to London, where we were the TSV on QVC. Starting at midnight after a long day is an experience, to say the least.

  2.30am and we are just finished, off to the hotel till I am back on the 9am show !!

with the lovely Amy Shaw, sporting new teeth.

Mario added camera skills to his repertoire.

 I sort of, accidentally like, altered Tim's book. Ooops.!!

Mario giving the Royal wave sat on my throne.

The following day we had wangled a day off in London. Hmmm what to do.??

How about we follow the yellow brick road to ...

We visited the Anthropologie shop, where EVERYTHING in the shop is for sale...

I fell in love with this counter

And of course we had to visit the Disney shop.

He he he, couldn't resist..!!

Then it was off to Heathrow to catch a train to Oslo. Here's our fabulous hotel. An old manor house.

What a view to wake up to.

As usual we went exploring where I made new friends.

I loved this shop display.

And then it was on to Ellen's store....Bibuken

It is THE most stocked store I have ever seen, packed to the rafters. Thurs evening we spent doing staff training and eating pizza.

Then the hard work started, Tim and I demonstrated to a total of 180 people, during a 9 hr stretch. Wow, that was some feat, I can tell you, but it went like clockwork.

We had 3 sessions of meet n greet, photos and signings dotted in between. It's quite something to see all those people queuing up to meet you , I was in shock.

Here's the lovely Heidi, one of my face book friends, who had Dylusioned her t-shirt.

The hospitality shown by Ellen and her fabulous staff was superb, we couldn't have asked for better. I can't wait to go back and teach later in the year.

Then it was back to the airport and a flight home, piles of washing, feet up, long bath and a bit of spoiling from Mr Babe of Deliciousness.

Enjoy xx
