Apologies folks - it's been really hectic here and as we all know time flies. Exciting news we have a great collaboration with the fantastic German company teNeues. We've licensed some of our Kimono designs with them for Stationery products and we have also added 3 new greeting cards to our collection which co-ordinate beautifully with the note books and pads.

We'll be launching them at Top Drawer in January and also a the Spring Fair in February (a very busy few weeks at the start of 2014).

TOP DRAWER SEPTEMBER 2013 - WHAT A SUCCESS!

Hi everyone, just getting organised after a really successful show at Top Drawer. Our new card additions went down extremely well and we had many new retailers coming on board stocking our products. The three days sped by with orders being taken just before the show shut on the last day when it's normally quiet. We've even managed to get all the orders out this week. Lot's of new things happening, Stuart is busy re vamping our product web site to make it even more user friendly. There's lots of plans in the pipeline for new product to be launched early 2014 so stay tuned. We've also got some new agents joining our team which means our products will have more presence on the High Street throughout the UK.

NEW JOIE DE VIVRE GREETING CARDS FOR TOP DRAWER

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great summer and enjoyed the fantastic weather we had here in the UK. I'm sitting here still TOO hot but tomorrow apparently the weather breaks! Boo! Anyway it's been very busy here over the summer we've signed a great deal with teNeues the lovely eco friendly and design orientated stationery company in Germany. More of that later. Linda has been busy designing new additions to our existing ranges and these are to be launched at Top Drawer in just over a weeks time! Must get on with everything else for the show very behind. Here are 4 sneaky views from the Joie de Vivre collection a total of 12 have been added all beautifully designed and there's also plenty of humour and lots for Mum's too. 

WHAT'S HOT?

Just received our July copy of that great trade mag Progressive Greetings, there's a section near the back called What's Hot? It's a selection of retailers being asked for their 'hot' card sellers. It's always extremely interesting to read what is selling well it all helps with evaluating our own ranges and what we need to add. What really caught my eye was that we were mentioned  by one of our new stockists. Emma's Apothecary had our Vintage Rose Collection mentioned as a hot seller. How great is that? It's a lovely looking shop stocking great product and the photo above is their lovely shop in Halifax. You can see more here. Go take a look or even better go and visit.

They are packed with a wrap label with full details and pictures shown on the back, cello wrapped with 6 white envelopes.

AMERICAN TV SHOW WANTS MY PRINT

Exciting - I've just received an email from an America TV programme wanting to use my Red flower image for a set and they wanted my permission. Fantastic it's going to be on TV. It's a new hospital drama not sure when it's going to be here in UK. I'll let you know when it's going to be shown here.

ACTION MEDICAL RESEARCH FOR CHILDREN CHARITY CHRISTMAS CARDS

Lovely Lynn Tait asked me in December 2012 as I was part of the Ladder Club would I be willing to design a Christmas Card for Action Medical Research. The plan was to get all ladder clubbers both new and now established to design a card for the charity, 12 in all. I jumped at the chance and it all came to fruition at PGLIVE when the cards were launched. Its a fantastic project to be involved in and the plan is that all of the proceeds go to the charity for once not just a small %. All the cards are lovely and I have included mine here, hope you like it.

PGLIVE MAY 2013 - A SUCCESS ONCE AGAIN

Another show over and PGLIVE in May was a resounding success despite the tough trading times everyone is experiencing at the moment. We had some really exciting new product to show, our Christmas card vintage range went down a storm and we now have a brilliant working relationship with French distributor Phenicia for both Christmas and everyday. MAP of Holland has already put in their order for Christmas as has Image Gallery in New Zealand. So pleased everyone likes them it's our first range so that is very good news. It's been so hectic since PG that I've had no time to put all the news together as well as photograph all our lovely new product. I am hoping to catch up this week. More news to follow.
