Ladies that Lunch

Just Driftin' - Driftwood Creations

 

 

Our friends Annie & G had made an 8 foot driftwood xmas tree in Bude at their Shorebreak B&B - www.shorebreakbude.co.uk

 

With all the driftwood on the beaches here after the storms earlier in the year we decided to do our own Spanish version - here it is:

 

The first tree

 

We thought there might be a bit of a call for driftwood trees at the local markets so went along to a xmas fayre and mentioned it to someone - they said 'what do you make?'

 

Next thing we were invited to the Ladies that Lunch Xmas Lunch Club 'do' to display and sell our driftwood art!!!!  44 ladies coming to lunch....

 

EEK!! Better get down the beach and get making trees and deccies for our first sale in 3 days time!!

 

 Wood Wood and more Wood!!

We were introduced as the 'artistes' with our driftwood art!  We also made candle decorations, plaques and slate signs as well as the trees.  Dave says 'all sorts of shit'!

The Ladies that Lunch

 

 



Had a great afternoon with the ladies at Ann & Andy's - fab B&B over here http://www.lastresruinas.com/ - the wine was flowing, live music in the garden, sun shining and all our trees went and most of the other stuff - plus we had an order to make another big tree for 2 days time!!  There is a business in this we think.....if someone wants it!!

We are a bit driftwooded out now though and have given all the wood left over to our friends for their fire!  Maybe we will get inspired for another driftwood art collection for the easter markets....

It's now the Friday before Christmas - just spent the afternoon on the patio - 25 degrees and sunny - getting ready for our trip home for a week to flooded UK on Christmas Eve - can't wait to see family and friends but not looking forward to the rain!!
