Because a gardener needs a winter income

Every winter I panic.  This is my default behaviour.  The gardening slackens off and I desperately try to think of ways to earn money.  I have been gardening ten years so I should know by now that this will happen, but it always seems to take me by surprise!  However this year I have been busy.  I am planning a table at a craft fair at The Cube, Folkestone on 30th November.  I am making padded and beribboned boards which can be called display boards, memo boards, ideas boards - whatever you like.  Each one is about 40 x 50 centimetres and, being hand made, unique.  Some are portrait, some are landscape.  The fabric is 100% cotton although the composition of the ribbon varies.  Each is backed and has a hanging cord.  Here are some of them.
