The Sweetshop of Words

Posted on February 24, 2020 by Sally CrabtreeFebruary 24, 2020

It was wonderful to be able to take the Sweetshop of Words to the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh and to perform the GOBstopper show alongside it – which featured the PinARTa. Great content filling and bashing by the audience! 

Writing sheds

Dylan Thomas’s writing shed has always been my inspiration. Once in a while, in my own little shed, I feel a little bit of that magic…

International Postal Service of Happiness project

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Sally CrabtreeNovember 14, 2018

I was thrilled to be able to deliver an international Postal Service of Happiness project with thanks to the Arts Council and Cultivator’s generous support. It delivered the Poetry Postie – Communities Communicating scheme to 4 communities in rural Cornwall linking them, through a cultural exchange, to a community in El Cobre, Cuba. It also developed animated Parcel Pets with the help of fantastic Beano cartoonist Mick Brennan and Fran Brennan from Cartoonfun – make one of your own!https://www.thepostalserviceofhappiness.com/parcelpets.html

Gift

Posted on November 13, 2018 by Sally CrabtreeNovember 13, 2018

As I was leaving Mousehole school at lunchtime , having worked with the lovely little ones, some of the children ran up to say goodbye and one of them thrust me this little present that he’d just found on the ground – half of an old rubber ball – which is now a beautiful little bowl for my flowers! Once a little school girl asked me if I’d like an orange tree as a present and when I said yes please she gave me a tiny orange pip – another time a little boy handed me a piece of gravel as if it were a diamond!

Postal Service of Happiness on the BBC TV News

Posted on March 21, 2017 by Sally CrabtreeJune 20, 2017

The Postal Service of Happiness was launched on International Day of Happiness and some of the local school children in Plymouth accompanied me on my rounds and helped deliver parcels of happiness to a care home – the grannies were hilarious. They inspired a new picture book called The Runaway Teeth which I hope will come out soon… Here are also some of the parcels and lovely deliveries those taking part in the project helped create.

It’s National having more fun at work week so I thought I’d post this pic which I love – Can you force yourself to have fun ? Well Voltaire said ‘ the most important decision you make is to be in a good mood’ so perhaps you can! Poet in residence at Bates Wells and BraithewaiteThank you to all who helped 2016 be such a fabulous year! We finished it by making a traditional afternoon tea ( with a poetic twist! ) for an Italian TV Documentary and I can’t wait to host some more CreativiTEA parties in 2017 – I might even get the walking tea table out again! There’ll also be worldwide deliveries from the Postal Service of Happiness and more… Happy New Year!
