A couple of weeks ago whilst at a craft fair I met a very nice man. He makes walking sticks and attends the fairs on a regular basis. He is a wise and worldly man who was taken by my lovespoons and jewellery. He talked to me about a coffee shop in Bute park, Cardiff named Pettigrew's Tea Rooms and said they have a gift shop that I should try and get my stuff into. Well, last night I was taken aback when this man rang me telling me he had spoken to the owner of the tea rooms and told him about me and my products and the owner was interested. I went to the coffee shop this morning with some samples of my work and they now want some of my spoons and necklaces for their shop! I did not expect that lovely man to go out of his way to mention me and promote my stuff to somebody else and it's these simple acts in life that really restore my faith in the human race. It was a small yet thoughtful gesture and I am very grateful to that kind gent. It's true when they say 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'.
