Hi Karen, thanx for the help offer, that’s good of you :grinning:
You do sound very organised, wish I was! Good idea regarding photos of similar things being taken altogether, more consistent pic, as you said. And sounds like Keith is very supportive which is lovely x

That’s me - I joke that’s what it will say on my gravestone “Karen Cooper - she was organised” :wink:

Glad to be of any help we can - just ask away - anybody and everybody :grinning:

He is supportive - a messy so-and-so - but supportive. It helps I think that we’re both creative and we met and married later in life and we bought a lot of learnt tolerance to the relationship.

As you live in Leicester, you’re quite welcome to come round when I’m doing a ‘shoot’.

Hi Helen

Welcome to the thread - your heart is really lovely :grinning:

The premises is simple - just share anything you want to promote and the rest of us will ‘love’ it and share it on social media and if you could return the favour that would be brilliant.

There’s is a Pinterest board and if you’re on Pinterest and would like an invite to join it, let me know and I’ll send an invite - I’ll need your user name. The board is: http://folksy.it/2jedHxg

In the meantime I’ve pinned your heart to the board (and to my wedding inspiration board) and am now following you on Folksy.

Looking forward to seeing lots more of your lovely makes :grinning:
Karen

Thanks Karen,
Yes, I’d love to join the midlands pinning too! I’m just Helen Fitzjohn on pinterest. My new year resolution is to get a grip on social media so this is a good start. :smile:

Morning Helen :grinning:

I’ve found you on Pinterest and an invite is on it’s way.

I’ve just had a look at your website too - it’s a lovely design, and needless to say the items you sell are lovely too. I’ve just loved your robins - with Mum and Dad in mind for next Christmas (aargh - too soon ???) as Mum loves them.

Hi Karen,
Got the invite thank you, so I’ll pin away shortly! Ta too for the website visit…every click helps :smile:
Never too early for Christmas I say…I’m making stock at the moment for xmas 2017!

217

Thanks Jac,
I think your designs are fab too, great colours and great fun.
Yes, there are some great indie shops around here, would love to get some products for sale in them but I can’t make most things cheaply enough for shops so I’m keeping an eye out for a decent east midlands craft fair. It’s great Karen started this thread so we locals can get in touch…

Stamford is lovely - it’s been a while since we paid a visit, must put it on the list, if I suggest it as a good place for some heritage photography I can usually persuade Keith :grinning: Last time we went it was absolutely freezing and we found a lovely cosy cafe to take shelter in :coffee:️
