A NEW ADDITION

Last week we spent three busy days exhibiting at a new trade show called Craft at Earls Court. We had a great position on a corner plot next to the entrance to Home - another section of the show. 

We put together a different set up to previous events and also introduced a colour wall displaying the range of silks we make our lamp shades in for bespoke orders. There was a lot of interest in this and it proved to be very popular.

                           

Also on display properly for the first time were our latest print, Waggle Dance, and our newest product - wallpaper.

The Gigantic Beetle wallpaper will be printed using traditional methods in the UK in gorgeous teal, cream and aubergine colours and will be available to buy in the Spring.

We decided 2014 was going to be a year of making the most of all the opportunities for Clementine & Bloom and it already seems like we are off to a flying start!

ANECDOTES DESIGN

We are pleased to announce you can now buy a selected range of Clementine & Bloom's products at a very lovely interiors shop in the Old High Street in Folkestone. The shop is called Anecdotes Design and is run by Barbara and Steven in the Creative Quarter of the town. It is a beautiful shop full of upcycled vintage furniture, art and homewares by independent and often local designer/makers and Steven's own range of hand crafted leather bags.

This area of Folkestone has recently received a massive overhaul and is now full of boutique businesses run by creative people plus some amazing restaurants. Do go and check it out!

STARTING THE YEAR WITH A BANG!

Happy New Year!

We celebrated the arrival of 2014 in London with this fabulous firework display. There's always such a great atmosphere up there - definitely worth making the effort for. And as it's a brand new year we have changed the blog banner to a selection of the vintage lamp bases with our shades that we currently have in stock.

We have some events lined up for this year, the first of which is Craft and takes place at Earls Court from 12th-14th January. This is a new trade show organised by the team at Handmade in Britain and runs alongside Home and Top Drawer so we are hoping for a great event. Right now we are working hard getting our stand ready and as we have some exciting new products for 2014 it already looks set to be a very busy year!
