Maribor and the Artists….

Hiya!
Thanks for popping in!
Just a quickie before we set off on our adventure today.
We are being collected at 9 from the hotel to do some sightseeing for the morning.
I know.
It’s a hard task, but somebody’s got to do it!!
Then we’re off to the shopping mall for lunch
before the work begins!
It is brilliant. All through the mall are tables of crafters,
being taught be artists and artisans from all over the world.
This beautiful lady here, Mihaela, is the organiser.
You couldn’t want for a kinder, more hospitable and lovely host.
The little girl in the front is Shaiya.
How do I know her name?

She made her name at one of the tables!

See if you can spot Linda’s and my workshops…

See??
I wasn’t kidding when I said we were in a mall!!!

Look look look!!

And here we all are in the evening, being wined and dined,
and having the best time!
What an international gathering!

I have to go now,
but this lady making a little presentation is from Israel.
She was reading out a poem she had written.
It was pretty special

What a lucky woman I am, to be part of this.
And to be spending the week with Linda.
She is a diamond, a real gem.
You know when you laugh so much, you have to stand with your legs crossed and can’t move ?
Yeah, well there have been a few of those.
Love and Hugs,
Barb

    Wow! It looks fantastic! I bet you are both loving every minute of it and how wonderful that Clarity ( including Groovi and Pergamano) are part of this truly international venture. Enjoy! Love and hugs Alison xxxx

    1. Morning bloggy friends,
      Gosh I'm early this morning! My friends are taking me out for lunch later on so that'll be good. Also got to try my mixer out – it would be rude not to make cake after all! Love and hugs to you all, Alison xxxx

  2. Would that be wonderful here crafting and shopping at same time. Sounds like your having a great time spoilt and working at same time working fun holiday just what you needed a break and your birthday week too lots love Joy xxx

  3. Looks great! Wish they'd do that in Oxford instead of tables selling olives/sweets/calendars or mobile phone covers up the middle of the shopping centres ! Have a good time, sounds as if you are ! X

  4. Hello Barb,
    How wonderful to be with so many like minded people and visitors who are so keen to learn. When our little gang meet up every 6 months sometimes standing cross legged is not good enough – oops ha ha. Ask Diane!!

  5. Afternoon bloggy friends, beautiful day again. Just received a Clarity parcel containing (amongst other things) the two new stencils. They are really lovely especially the allium flower, well worth getting if you haven't already succumbed! Xx

    1. Hi Donna,
      I must admit I liked the look of these new stencils, but my craft spending is on hold for the moment! Been so windy here today. Love and hugs Alison xxx
