UK Designers Fit for a Queen - Madonna

Never one to big up Madonna, after all she doesn't really need it! But, after all the hype from the weekend I decided to watch the Super Bowl half time show. And show it certainly was! A great performance by the Queen of Pop, Madonna, but was also in awe of the stage set. After some internet research, I found that UK designers were commissioned to make part of her set. The designers, Jimmie Martin, are based in Kensington, London and make some wonderfully quirky products from chairs, beds, cabinets to cushions:

It is great to see a pop icon using UK designers who's main business is to transform old pieces of furniture in to unique items with their urban style.

Not only are Jimmie Martin edgy designers, they are British! And I'm all for supporting UK designers/makers - Buy British!!

Tea Cosy - Exhibition

I will be exhibiting at Tea Cosy in Aberdeen this weekend - it's an alternative art, craft and design fair set up in the style of a tea party in a pop up location. It will also be my first attendance at this event. This year the alternative-style exhibition will take place in the old Pier shop in Belmont Street.

You can see from the photo above how the space is organised and laid out just like a tea party.

I'm really looking forward to this opportunity as I have been wanting to edge my way in to Aberdeen for some time now and the event sounds good fun.

Opening hours - Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th July, 10am - 4pm.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Meet The Designers

I took my daughter to Matalan on Saturday, where we were lucky enough to meet Colin and Justin (I admit it, it was really me that wanted to meet them). It was manic to say the least - the queue was too long to join when we first arrived. My daughter is only two so as you can imagine keeping a two year old entertained whilst standing in a queue for any length of time - not an easy task!!

However, lucky for me, she fell asleep in her buggy - ahhh.

We queued for over an hour to finally meet Colin and Justin. They were really lovely, very smiley (Colin more so) and spent time chatting to folk. I also gave them a special valentine present, which they really liked.

The designers were at the store promoting their homeware range, which Matalan now sell.
