Home & Gift 2012

For the majority of last week we were exhibiting at the Home & Gift trade show in Harrogate. We headed north last Saturday to set up, and it doesn't matter how many trade fairs I do, being faced with the bare stand always seems a little daunting at first... but we got there!

We had a great few days, meeting new and potential stockists, as well as lovely fellow exhibitors and new friends. We even squeezed in a couple of trips to Betty's for some 'tea room blend' before the show opened in the mornings!

We are now home safe and sound and have been invoicing and sorting through post-fair admin...

...and celebrating my birthday! I was even treated to a surprise birthday chocolate cake on the last day of Home & Gift (clearly the girls I met already know me too well!), which was delicious... but back to work tomorrow, we have orders to get cracking on!

a little catch-up...

Hello there folks! Since the Jubilee weekend it's been go-go-go, so much so that my blog post writing has slipped a little, but I'm back! 

After (and throughout) the Jubilee celebrations we were busy preparing our stock and stand layout for Pulse, a new trade fair for us in London. 

The fair was a resounding success and we came away tired but happy and with great new stockists and re-orders from existing ones too. 

We are now busying away getting lots of lovely new stock ready to send off to all corners of Britain, from Norfolk to Cornwall and a few inbetween!

We were also extremely pleased with the reaction to our new products - notebooks, totes and mugs - hopefully you will find these in a shop near you soon!
