Didn't say Happy New Year this time, forgot. Maybe it was the 100 foot cloudbase? Anyway, this is our quiet time until April really. The British Craft House has been good to us in this early time, a symptom of hibernation? The Danes call it 'hygge' - shutting off all the drafts, building up the fire and curling up in front of it until the gloom passes. Aha! But now we have magic screens and we can hunter gather vintage spoons and forks remotely which the rangers of the wild outer world deliver to the door.
The Artful Duck and Beautiful Handmade retired. Good luck!
2025 was an excellent year in spite of the News. The cracks in the bedroom celing are dealt with, a carpet again after that noisy clattery cold wood effect floorboardery blowing its dust fairies about. And, AND, we've got a new forkvan! Sarah didn't love the Fork Galaxy so a trip out to the wilds of East Anglia to free a VW camper conversion from captivity. Too lyrical. Here it is...

September 25. We decided not to do as many events this year so it's down to 20 but with longer in days so it feels just as busy. The shops are doing well in spite of uncertain times with only one closing down and one retiring in October. The weather has been kind up until last weekend when a gust of wind took down our gazebo. Well we were thinking of treating ourselves to a new one!
There still seems to be no formula, a couple of disappointing outings more than made up with pleasant surprises.
We met Cushion Cottage Reepham, Norfolk at a craft event they'd organised and now have our spoons etc in stock attracting great interest.
It's ten years now - all from a shoebox of old cutlery for £2 in a garage sale. There are no crystal balls.

Happy New Year
We had a good year for sales in '24. We didn't get too wet but noticed it likes to rain as soon as the back door of the car opens or the gazebo is taken down. We did 25 events in some lovely places again and have 3 booked already. Been going 9 years now. If you click on More there's history even we're starting to forget.

After Timothy's sad demise the Donkey Sanctuary have allocated us Peanut, a 3 year old miniature donkey. He was born at the Sanctuary. He joins Walter as one of our Fork Emporium mascots. As always Flora the workshop supervisor >>
