Merry Christmas and enjoy FREE delivery until the 21st December 2016


Firstly I just want to say a huge thank you to all that visited me at the Country Living Fair's in Glasgow and Harrogate, i hope you had a lovely time. I am now back in the studio finishing personalised orders that were placed in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately the order book is now closed for commissions to be delivered in time for Christmas but if you did have your eye on something for the future please do feel free to get in touch! 

I am currently topping up my online shop as often as i can with lots of new and festive goodies! These can be found in new loveliness so please keep popping back for a peek for newly added items.


I am also offering FREE standard delivery until noon on Wednesday 21st December 2016. Just enter the code XMAS2016 at the check out to receive free delivery from my online shop. This code can also be used more than once and please feel free to share with friends and family. Just enough time for any last minute gifts or decorations.



Just a little note that Wednesday 21st December is also the last recommended Christmas posting date for first class, U.K mainland.

Again i am offering a complimentary Christmas gift wrap service so if you would like any of your purchases beautifully gift wrapped please just leave me a little note at the checkout.

If you would also like to include a gift note please just leave your message in the special instructions box at the checkout and i can pop that in with the parcel.



I always try to add a new decoration to the collection every year to hang alongside the others. This year I have added a new Christmas tree jumper, Scottie Dog, beaded doily and bauble drops. They look pretty hanging around the home or on a tree.


Letter tags... Back in stock! Add a personal touch to your gifts with a letter tag. They look great tied on to a present or as a decoration. Just use the recipients initial or spell their name! 


Snowflake plates... Display on a dresser or use it for mince pies for Father Christmas!


A new collection of porcelain Christmas tea light holders. Choose from either a Christmas pudding, tree or snowflake design. They come with a scented tea light and glow beautifully when lit filling your home with a cosy feel and festive scent.


Lucky dip bags... I created something a bit different for the fairs this year and these proved very popular and now can be found online!

Each one is filled with a mixture of four items and i have also hidden gift vouchers in the odd one of up to £10 to spend on my website. They take me back to childhood and not knowing what you are going to get makes it even more fun. A great quirky stocking filler if you can't choose a gift.

Christmas Fairs and Country Living Christmas Fairs

After a bit of a whirlwind this last month I am now back in the studio making your personalised orders and packing and posting website orders. Unfortunately the commissions book is now closed for Christmas delivery but if you did have your eye on something please do feel free to get in touch to discuss anything for the near future. It has been a busy few weeks and I have travelled to quite a few places. Here are some pictures from my recent events!


Country Living Christmas Fair, Glasgow 2016
 



My first Fair was the Country Living Christmas Fair in Glasgow. I had some new pieces for this year including my lucky dip bags which were a hit and sold out. The initial tags were also a popular choice.


Christmas tea lights and crackers which included a handmade porcelain decoration or brooch.


After Glasgow I managed to squeeze in a trip to Belfast and what an amazing place! We enjoyed going to see the Giant's Causeway, the Titanic Belfast, an open top bus tour and visiting the Christmas markets. Looking forward to going back already!

 


 
During this time I had a table at the Christmas Craft Fair at Great Corby School and at the Dacre Hall Christmas Craft Fair at Lanercost Priory in Cumbria. There was a great little write up in the local paper, the Cumberland News about the fair.

My last stop was at the Country Living Christmas Fair in Harrogate. More new pieces to the fairs included snowflake Christmas plates, memory frames, letters and decorations. On the Saturday at the fair it was small business Saturday and what an ideal place to go and support lovely small businesses!

A huge thank you to everyone that visited, I met and purchased my pieces. I hope you had a fab time and look forward to seeing you soon. Amanda x
