Happy Days Clarity Days! Look who else is here?! Day 1, Blog 3
Hello! Grace here.
This is fun! This virtual open day malarkey. Lots of talent being showcased, lots of goodies being given away, and LOTS of inspiration!
As we continue around the hall, there are SO many familiar faces. Do you recognize anyone? Or are you making new friends?
Eye-spy my good friend Glynis Whitehead!! An incredible talent! She WOULD be here. What ya upto Glynis?

She’s kindly made us a personal (very lovable!) demonstration! Check out this video where Glynis demonstrates how to take a straight Groovi border pattern and turn it into a circle! Very clever.
Don’t forget we have a blanket 25% sale on the website too!
Glynis is based in the North of England, in Nottinghamshire. Another good friend of mine who would often travel to Clarity Open Days is aaaaaall the way in Texas…

Debby & Gill live in Texas but are good friends of ours. And we were lucky enough to have them visit from the States for an open day!

You can find these stylishly model’d aprons here 🙂
Traveling from America for our little (but quite massive) open days is a big deal! So I’d like to share a small gallery of some lovely artwork made my Debby & Gill! During quarantine they’ve made over 200 cards!! But gave them to hospitals and friends, so I have what’s left! They’re lovely 🙂
The cards are brilliant too! 😉
So many good people all over the world! Which just highlights how global our Clarity Family is. My Mums Daily Doodle & Coloring sessions are being watched ALL over the world! From England to Australia, and everywhere in between.
Leave a comment below with where you’re based (town & country) and I will enter you into my final raffle of the day… to win these 3 packs of stickers!
I LOVE these stickers.

Come back tomorrow! We’ll still all be here, ready to spend the day together again. With a bunch more demonstrations, galleries & giveaways!
Stay safe! Happy Days Clarity Days!
Lotsa Love, Grace xoxo

Beautiful photo of you Grace. I live in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland – haven’t made it to the open days yet, but have been to a couple of workshops with your mum over the years. When I lived in London my sister and I went to one of the early ones back in a tiny village hall somewhere in the back of beyond – we arrived a bit late (got lost) and your mum was so kind – made us get a cup of tea, chillax and just breathe. I’m enjoying the virtual open day so far – great fun!

Hi Grace, I am in Marlow, Bucks. Last year was my 1st Clarity open day. I was like a child in a sweetie shop! I loved every moment of the day. My husband went out visiting garden centres and kept popping back for a cuppa. I introduced him to your mum, as whenever she comes on tv he says I am off to the garden! Now when she comes on tv he says Hi Barbara. Gives the tv a wave… and then goes into the garden!
