Vicky Trainor's Charity Summer Garden Party

Wedding stationer and inspiration powerhouse that is Vicky Trainor (ex work collegue and very supportive lovely friend) is always one to pull together great groups of people, that being through photoshoots, creative events, workshops or even just coffee mornings (keep your eye out - on Vicky's blog for future get togethers). Many months ago Vicky decided to throw a charity summer garden party for local creative business women and fans alike, in aid of a charity very close to her own heart, The Holistic Centre at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

So this Wednesday as a ticketed event, Vicky threw her doors open and invited around 35 women into her beautiful home and garden for a lunchtime of scrumptious food, relaxed business chatter, tons of laughter and fabulous raffle prizes...

The buffet food was laid out in Vicky's gorgeous home studio which never ceases to disappoint the eye, so this time round I couldn't help but take some snapshots.

In the end over £600 was raised for this worthy charity, with many big names and talented designers from all over the UK and abroad freely donating gift prizes for the raffle including a signed copy of Selina Lakes amazing new book Homespun Style.

A big well done to Vicky! It was great to catch up with this list of fabulous ladies...Here's to next years garden party!

Launch of new china collections! Aubrey, Savoy & Jaeger.

Last week I launched my latest china sets to match with the wallpaper designs

Aubrey, Savoy and Jaeger. Launched at Saturdays Designers Marketplace, the designs went down a treat and I even sold out of Aubrey plates which is a rare occurance! Jaeger feather pint mugs also proved popular. All sets are now available for sale online at www.surfacephilia.co.uk

Post TENT update!

Possibly one of the most stressful weeks of my life is finally over. Its taken a day to recover from LDF and I'm quickly updating the blog with my first exhibition build at Tent. I was sharing my stand with the uber talented Jamie Josef Fry and his wooden and concrete wares (which were a massive hit with retailers, manufacturers and the buying public P.S!) Big thanks to Jamie for doing the man bit of screwing the hanging system up and getting it level. ;)
