In the exhibition news section of Greetings Today, I have a lot to say! Talking about Pulse by Top Drawer, I say ‘This show has been really good for me, I’m having a great time. I’ve had quite a few new customers as well as touching base with existing ones, and also some people that are interested in licensing my designs. Harrods even stopped by so I’m very happy right now!’
On Saturday I went off to Oxford with Claire and Laura for Lucy’s hen do. We met at the Galaxie Hotel on Banbury Road - which is gorgeous with a really nice courtyard garden and some HUGE fish. We met up with all the other girls and set off on a walk to where we were going to be punting - on route we saw Jeremy Clarkson who was at a school fate and went into a portaloo! We had lunch and pimms, and watched all the fellow punters making their way down the river.
what makes me happy?
the big wide world, mark, jemima, food, sleep, books, creating, ideas, friends, laughing, pimms, horses, the colour green, sunshine, walking in the rain, swimming in the sea…
I started Alice Palace greetings cards in June 2004 - so the cards have now been going for 4 years. And many of the original designs are still selling strong… such as ‘A tortoise takes life very slowly’ which is a great card for retirement!
I had yesterday afternoon off (as it was my birthday!) and went along to Spetchley Gardens near Worcester with Mum and Lizzy. It chucked it down when we arrived, so we sat in my very clean hire car in the car park and ate a picnic. Then when the rain stopped we went round the gardens which are BEAUTIFUL...and I wish they were mine. The best bit for me was the vegetable gardens - - I will get an allotment!!
yey for me and a hip hip happy birthday! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear alice, happy birthday to me!
