I apologise for the image, it is just that I can not quite believe I am getting excited about the month of December already! This is one of the decorations that will be available from the site as from October. I shall create a whole section on the ‘Collections’ page dedicated to decorations and Christmas cards at this time.

I have been really busy gearing up for the season ahead. The biggest change is the site becoming fully e-commerce! You can now buy goods directly from me so I can now offer the largest collection of my work online. This was to ensure I have even better contact with my customers and I hope you like the changes that have been made. Please continue to email me if you find an item out of stock or unavailable, as ever it is a work in progress to upload everything. If you haven’t already done so please sign up for the newsletter on my homepage to ensure you receive discounts and offers, I only get around to sending these things sporadically so I promise no bombarding to your inbox!

There are lots of events happening soon and I am pleased to announce the Open Studio event on the 24th-25th September with an evening viewing on the 23rd at 6-9pm. This is a chance to meet my customers and show off the collection alongside newest additions. I will be offering a range of seconds and old stock at 50% or more discount and there is a 10% discount off any purchase if you become a friend of Bath Artists Studios. Over 60 artists work at the studios so it is well worth a visit. Please see the events page for a link to find out more.

My range will be extended in the coming month. I have ordered lots of new printed cards for the Country Living Fair and these will also be available on the website as soon as they are delivered. Look out for tea towels in 2012!

Finally I am so very pleased that there will be a photo shoot for my work booked in January. This means that the images will be clearer and shall indicate a use for the product. There will be over 50 products available on the tableware pages once this is complete so I shall keep you posted on this!

I hope you had a lovely holiday wherever you spent it, let’s hope for an Indian Summer in September!
