Lou Gets a Double Whammy

I couldn’t have been more delighted this weekend when I saw that my new Bugs and Roses tableware had been given Star Buy status on the Guardian’s Wishlist page with a fabulously big picture to boot.  But then, thanks to the lovely Emily at Caravan I found that a couple of my customised vintage bug plates had made it into the Independent’s Design Issue too.  Orders have been pinging into my notonthehighstreet.com shop ever since.  Oh happy days! 

 

Smith and Coates will be at Origin in October

Smith and Coates is going to be at Origin this year, and although it's ages away (not until October), I'm starting to limber up already. Judith has been helping me with new postcard and label designs, and I've been frantically sewing in my shed. And I've just put a whole load of new jumpers on the website so it's all systems go.

The new handworks collection has arrived! The childrenswear, modelled here by some of the best in town, is gorgeous. The prints are fresh and crisp. And there are some lovely new cotton quilts, table cloths and more. I will be having a preview day soon so do come and see the new arrivals, Let me know if you would like to be on my mailing list for this and future sales events.

Thank you to all involved in our fun and impromptu photo shoot today! Radhax

Are you big or are you small? Here’s a wee nosy at one of Mrs Booth’s new cards, they’re hot off the press this week. I'll be launching these and more at Pulse at the end of May. More to follow soon. x

Smith and Coates and Huggermuggers

Hanging up on the wall a few of Sarah's children's tops made from recycled adult jumpers, and keeping watch from the shelves some of Clare's fantastic crocheted Huggermuggers.

All Small

Alex definitely gets the prize for the most immaculate - and enticing - stall, it looked amazing. And her gorgeous handknitted children's clothes and hats, blankets and tea cosies were as popular as ever.
