So it happened I joined the 30s club! I had an amazing Birthday week! and was very spoilt by my Husband. For my birthday present I was taken to London to See Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
It is one of the best productions I have ever seen, the set design is astonishing and is perfect for all ages! I was still smiling a week after seeing it! You are unable to take pictures during the production, so I guess you will have to go see it for yourself. But before we went to see the production we visited One Aldwych to enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired Afternoon tea, if you go see the play you need to join it with the afternoon tea it will not disappoint. We sat in amazing high backed chairs that really set the mood, the afternoon tea starts with a range of sandwiches and finger foods..... they were delcious but nothing compared to the sweets that followed! We were presented with what can only be described as a feast! (picture taken from One Aldwych website) 'decadent golden eggs to blueberry brioche and playful flavoured candy floss, every item reflects the wit and wonder of Roald Dahl's classic tale' This experince was amazing I highly recommened going to see the show and booking in for the afternoon tea before hand! Here are few pictures of paul enjoying his rhubarb and custard candy floss! and chocolate caramel milk.Showing posts with label london. Show all posts

Hello,
I hope you are all having a good week! I have had a very busy March so I apologise for the lack of posts! I am going to make more of an effort to Blog on a regular basis!
This month I have taken part in a lot of fairs some really great ones, I love doing fairs getting the chance to meet people who purchase your work and also to meet other makers. I had the chance to catch up with some regular makers, please check out their work they are extremely talented!
Fox bunting

I absolutely love Fox bunting's work. I love the patterns she uses, her brilliant illustrations and the cleverness of her ideas. I couldn't resist any longer, after seeing fox bunting at a fair two weeks in a row I had to buy myself a beautiful peter pan collar with a little fox on! I can't wait to wear this. They are now available in her Etsy shop! She also has a great blog, which currently has a brilliant give away,so pop over for a chance to win one of her amazing Deer heads!
Another lady I see at the great Reet Sweet Fairs is Jil made this... again I have purchased many items from Jil! I think we should just start swapping each others items!
Check out her Etsy store.
My new Rule Britannia range is finally finished and photographed. A lot of items are already available on my Not on the high street store so please pop by and have a look, but in the mean time here are a few images.
I wanted to photograph the images in a Great British tea party setting and I'm really happy with the results, I will be arranging a larger photo shoot soon that will include items from a few of my ranges.
I'm really glad my range is all ready to go as i am attending my first London fair at the end of March, the fair is part of the London Pride Festival that will mark the start of the Queens golden jubilee. Its going to be a great event so if you are in Ilford London on the 31st of March and fancy a trip to the Valentines Mansion please pop by and say hello!
I shall say bye for now but will be posting more soon!
