Happy New Year! Hope you had a wonderful time. I am very much looking forward to sharing with you new work, exhibitions and events throughout 2014.

It was my Mum and Dads 30th wedding anniversary last week and I made them this as a little keepsake. Four porcelain hearts with a picture of my Mum and Dad on their wedding along with their special date and name and a picture of me and my brother on a family holiday.

 

I have made a few of these now for lovely people over the past few years and was lovely to have a special occasion to make a personal one. Any treasured family photographs or messages can be fired on to porcelain.

I can also make these hearts as buttons and decorations and even on to a special guestbook or keepsake box for a wedding. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any ideas. 

Happy Christmas and enjoy free delivery until Friday 20th December

 Well with Christmas just round the corner I have been busy creating new festive goodies. These sweet little snowy white Christmas trees topped with a little star, make a lovely addition to a festive home.

 

 

There are also new Christmas decorations added to the seasonal decorations collection, including star cut out hearts, bauble shapes and cute teddy bears. These make great little stocking fillers or even just a treat for your own tree.

Visit pretty things for you to view a collection of jewellery which all come gift boxed, home sweet home for pretty homeware and buttons for a selection of porcelain button cards.

I would just like to thank you for all of your support this past year and wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Very best wishes for 2014,

Country Living Christmas and Spirit of Christmas Fairs 2013 and personalised orders

Well that's me home after exhibiting at the Country Living Christmas Fair, London, Glasgow, Harrogate and the Spirit of Christmas Fair. I had a great time travelling around and meeting all of you new and familiar faces.

I am now back in the studio creating lots of lovely personalised orders. Just a little note that Friday 6th December 2013 will be the last day to get your personalised orders in to allow enough making, firing and delivery in time for Christmas.

Here are a few snaps I took of my stands at my four Christmas events...

 

Country Living Christmas Fair London

 

Spirit of Christmas Fair, London

 

Set within the main entrance to the hall at the Spirit of Christmas fair were these beautiful stands full of gorgeous items from the exhibitors. I  was delighted that my new 'HOME' frame and new bird house tea light and a lace tea light made it on to the display...

 

 

Country Living Christmas Fair Glasgow

 

Where it all started... I exhibited at the Country Living Christmas Fair in Glasgow in November 2010. It was my very first show and it was my fourth year exhibiting there this year, where does the time go!

 

Country Living Christmas Fair Harrogate

 

Thank you to all of you that popped by my stands, I had a lovely time and looking forward to doing it all again next year!
