Sunday 3rd - arrived at the huge craft marquee at Taunton School for 8am and with the help of my son, Scott managed to trail our stuff to position no.7. It was all a bit overwhelming as I had been expecting something the size of a garden fete and Taunton Show was massive.
Lesley and her daughter, Millie arrived just as we were unpacking and Tracey arrived a short while later. We all rolled up our sleeves and got stuck in and et voila our stand:

Although we didn't sell a great deal and certainly didn't cover the costs, we met some great people. A reporter from the Taunton People Community Website, took our photos (Photo Link) and later gave Savvy Sisters a great review (Taunton People Link).
We were in stitches when one lady told Millie that she thought Savvy Sisters was a convent and that we were all nuns, she suggested that we wear our habits next time lol!
All in all - it was a great day, I certainly couldn't have done it without the help of Bob, Scott, Lesley, Millie and Tracey, so a very big thank you to them.
And finally - you may have realised that there was one very special person missing from the Savvy Sister's first show - Wendy!! This is where the 200 mile distance between Wendy and myself proved too much of hurdle. Wendy had only just returned from her holiday in Tenerife, she couldn't get down to Somerset and back again in time for work on Monday morning. So although not there in body, she was definitely there in spirit, we displayed all of her work and had a photo of her and her childhood bestfriend Cheryl on the stand:
