This is a brand new little venture (adventure, even!) for me.  I’ve never been to a specialist show like this with my gift stall.  The show I’m talking about is this one at Tatton Park on Sunday 7th August. Gates open at 9 am, and they’re expecting lots of visitors.

I’m only sorry that I’m going there to work – I’d love to spend a day looking round the campers and Beetles and taking photos!

But I’m busy painting lots of campervans in readiness!

I only hope they are well-received!

Oh, and I also hope the sun shines.  Always good for an outdoor event!

This campervan chalkboard is one of those why didn’t I think of that? ideas.

heart-shaped campervan chalkboard - personalised

A customer asked me to put a campervan onto a heart-shaped chalkboard for newlyweds as she couldn’t decide between the campervan canvas

 and the chalkboard for newlyweds

Mr and Mrs Wright chalkboard

so she decided it’d be nice to combine the two!

 I knew this was going to be a Christmas gift and didn’t want to spoil the surprise for the new Mr and Mrs Wilson

 which is why it hasn’t been shown online before now (well, ok, that and the manic Christmas rush!!).

The campervan has a just married sign hanging from the wing mirror

although, as each chalkboard is individually painted by hand, it doesn’t have to have a just married sign.  It doesn’t have to be for newlyweds!  I can see all sorts of possibilities!

It has a little rope basket for chalk and a little fabric duster (supplied)

and a little gingham bow on the rustic string hanger.

I love it and hope you do too.  It’s now available to purchase – I can paint you one of your very own!  Colours and wording can all be changed to suit your own requirements – and the personalised numberplate makes a lovely little touch!  You can order yours here: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/chalkboards.html
