christmas in a cupboard

Sherwood Craft and Food Fair 2015I’m sorry to say that this post is not as I planned it to be.

I was going to show you the display for my stall on Saturday. I set it all up, took some pictures, and then packed it all away, ready to take down to the fair venue tonight.

What I stupidly didn’t do was check what the pictures were like before I packed everything up.

BIG mistake! They are terrible.

My camera is playing up. Not only is it refusing to store more than half a dozen photos at a time (despite my generously lavishing a new memory card on it) it is apparently now refusing to focus as well, although it continued to bleep to fool me into thinking all was tickety-boo, the evil machine.

All the pictures I took are hideously dark, very grainy, and blurred beyond belief (or use.)

modflowers: christmas in a cupboardAll the stuff is now in boxes and I have too much to do already to get it all out again, photograph it a second time and then put it all away again. So I’m not going to.

But the title of this post was too good to waste, don’t you think? You may remember the cupboard in question – I bought it at the Newark Antiques Fair in the summer…

modflowers: 1950's cupboardIt now contains a miniature winter wonderland. Or at least, it will do on Saturday.

Hey, maybe I’ll get some better pictures at the fair.

Or – you could come down and witness my “Christmas in a Cupboard” in person, if you live close enough to Sherwood.

Hope to see you there! ♥

  1. Almost better than if your photos had come out – that dark grainy image is so tantalising (and i can just about make out a dobbit) – so now I’m going to have to try to make time to get there tomorrow AND keep my money in my purse while I’m there. Too hard!

  2. It’s like a twinkly night scene; cute, unless you wanted to show your work! You’ll just have to take some photos when you set up, before everything hurtles off your stall, as it undoubtedly will!

  3. Oh that cupboard is glorious! Looking forward to seeing your Winter Wonderland inside it. Good luck with the fair too. It’s worth a shot, but have you a factory reset button on your camera? I’ve had to do that with mine before and then it all bounced back to life quite happily. x
