This dropped into my inbox in the early hours and I thought I would share it with you.
It's a fab offer from Three Counties only available this bank holiday weekend.

It's mid August and as I'm writing (typing) this the temperature says just 15 degrees C! Enough said I think.
Have we skipped to Autumn already?
And might we have an Indian Summer?
Malvern Shows have a habit of being unexpected weather-wise. The Malvern Spring Garden Festival saw us all, visitors and exhibitors alike, wilting in hotter than normal weather.
So maybe, perhaps, if we are lucky, we will be having an Indian Summer at the time of the Malvern Autumn Show?
Let's hope so.
And ever wondered where that expression comes from?
Apparently; it dates back to the 1700s America, where "it was noted in regions inhabited by Native Americans, or because the natives first described it to Europeans, or it had been based on the warm and hazy conditions in autumn when Native Americans hunted."
Anyway I digress . .
Fact is, our marvellous members are thinking of Autumn already?
Why? Well, as of today, it's only 38 days to The Malvern Autumn Show and we are designing/making/crafting furiously while peddling hard to be seamlessly organised for the big 3 days from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th September.
We will be at our usual "Three Counties Home" in the enormous Indoor Shopping Hall, Guild of Craft's shopping area. We are proud of our beautifully curated show within a show and you are absolutely guaranteed to find beautiful, unique, high quality workmanship from our talented members.
Note: Not all our members exhibit at any given show, so if you want to see a specific member, please check with them where they will be?
Malvern Autumn Show is barely two and a half weeks away. My, doesn't it come around quickly?
Now, I can't draw to save my life and my sketches just look like a spider wandered through the ink! I'm definitely not an arty crafter, so CAD works for me!
While we might have 3 'glass' designers, their techniques, skills & approach lead to very different results. The same can be said for all the media.
We have artists with silver, gold, copper and steel, and not just jewellery - that in itself could be with precious stones, for special and significant events or for everyday.
Wood is crafted into fine, heirloom furniture, carved into sculptures and on a large scale. Textiles to wear, for function, for everyday and for occassions. And clay varies from the finest porcelain to garden sculptures, to quirky pieces that will absolutely make you laugh.
