Christmas Markets


Our girls have been busy getting crafty and setting up shop at various markets across Bristol and in our home town, Milford Haven.

Kate, Erin & Maya take on Picton Street market...

 
Kate's little dinosaur planters are too cute...
 
Natalie has been quilling her fingers off, and it all looks beautiful...

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

Ernest Hemingway

Add value to survival

 
Friendship is unnecessary,
like philosophy, like art...
It has no survival value;
rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.


Lewis Carrol

the all important CATEGORIES

Tasha & Beckie's theory on finding 'the one' - because we know it all, ya know?


 
"What's my name?"


I can't believe I'm broadcasting this but I will anyway... My friend and I have this theory we refer to as the Categories - it says each person has a selection of items that a person must satisfy in order to be ones perfect match - the primary categories: for example they must be funny, must get on with your friends and family, must be outgoing, must be kind, ambitious etc. These primary categories/ things are very important, if this person is to be your soul mate they must tick these primary boxes - you should find out if they do or not in the early days so if for example they are funny, kind, ambitious yet they are anti-social and therefore don't get along with your family and friends (just an example) then you already have a crack in the formation, it may not matter so much now but ultimately later on this can lead to problems. Another example could be that they are kind, ambitious, they get along well with your family and friends but they don't make you laugh - perhaps you may find someone in the future that slides in to that category and leads you astray? Who knows. There are also the secondary categories - categories which would make things even better but aren't crucial for a perfect match, for example they should be taller than you, they shouldn't smoke, preferably brown hair etc. - things you can deal with/live without. You mustn't mistake primary for secondary categories, for example you shouldn't not go for someone just because they have a blonde hair if they fit all of your primary categories. My friend and I were completely out of it when we came up with this theory about 4 years ago but I find myself referring to it quite often. It seems great theories can be born from conversations when wrecked.
