Sundae Girl

Morning,

I usually try to think of a music-related pun for the blog title that relates to the content in some way. However, today's was just perfect as it was!

Today we're focusing on our artists. Whilst we are predominantly a boutique selling clothes, accessories and cosmetics, we like to support the arts and anyone who has been in our shop can see all the beautiful pieces adorning our walls. Some of these are available on the online shop, some are not as yet. The pieces we have available include small original pieces by Pippa Alice, canvases and smaller originals by Louise Berrill, originals and prints by Richard Stones, canvases, postcards and framed originals by Rebecca Sturdgess, canvases by Anita Hughes, framed prints by Daniel Cheney, photographic canvas prints and postcards by Clive Wagner, not to mentioned beautifully painted glassware from Dorne Boddington's Smashing Glass. With original canvases starting at £12 and going up to £450, there is something for every taste and budget. So don't forget, not only can we help you look like your amazing and unique self, we can help your home reflect that too.

Our Pick Of The Day is one of these gorgeous works of art. Let me introduce you to Sundae Girl by Pippa Alice. Pippa is our only artist currently who isn't based locally. Her pieces have a fantastic whimsical style that is very distinctive. They're all signed originals, created on handmade recycled cotton rag paper. Sundae Girl is approx 11cm x 15.5cm so she's small enough to fit anywhere! Great as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, or just a fantastic treat for yourself and your space.

View Sundae Girl by Pippa Alice on our online shop.

Hope you've all got a great weekend lined up. We're off to Retro-Beat at The Horseshoe down the road to check out The Francis Jetty and Transmission. We'll tell you all about it when we're back to work on Tuesday! In the meantime, have fun!

Farewell To Summer

Morning,

Exciting week coming up... we now have RedRock Fashion back in stock (see more on our Pick Of The Day), we have the new Dr Martens Spring/Summer 2011 catalogue in (now taking orders), a new canvas on the wall from local photographer Clive Wagner, and our gift vouchers are now available as well.

Pick Of The Day is this RedRock Fashion Asymmetric Multi-Coloured Beaded Cropped Tee. We now have these in both red and yellow. Yes, I know the weather is getting cooler but consider the following a) It looks just as good layered, b) It's summer in Australia and plenty of other places we ship to, c) You may want to start stock-piling this for next summer!

Hope you're having a good day!

Selling Out

Morning,

Got some lovely new bits in yesterday. We have some gorgeous hand painted and hand finished wooden boxes by D'n'J with PacMan and Space Invader designs among others. We also have some signed, framed, limited edition prints by local artist Daniel Cheney that I hope to have on the walls over the weekend. Finally, we now have a selection of postcards of Wellingborough and the surrounding area by renowned photographer Clive Wagner.

Our sale still rages on. There are some real bargains to be had. If you want any extra information on any product, be it about the sizing, how it fits, washing instructions, just ask! It's what I'm here for! One of the biggest bargains is some of the dresses we have in by Max C. Some are almost £20 lower than the RRP! Well worth having a browse! Most can be worn for winter too, as the styles are pretty classic and not prone to dating quickly, so just add a jacket, or put it away for next year, knowing you have a bargain!

Pick Of The Day today are these men's plain black shorts by Spiral Direct. These are fantastic quality, 100% cotton, and only £20 in our sale. We also have them in a vintage, distressed-look version as well, as well as the printed SD shorts. Stock and sizes are limited so get in there quick!

Click here for more information and to buy these Spiral Direct shorts from our online shop.

Right, off to look at the lovely new lines from Worn Free and decide what we want in next!
