At this time of year, Lauren Stott often turns up to work with glitter on her clothes and feathers in her hair.
That’s on top of raising four children and her day job as co-ordinator for two Pilates studios. At the Show, Lauren helms on the family stalls for all 11 days – sometimes for 14 hours a day. Lauren has fond memories of, when first dating Duane 25 years ago, joining Edie’s production line in Edie’s Maidstone backyard to make little circle dresses and put them on dolls., Edie would sew the dresses from fabric scraps, lace and ribbons while Lindsay painted on glitter and attached wings and bonnets.
