Hoooo! Woooo! as my youngest would say. 2 posts in one day. The excuse is my Country Living magazine dropped through the door and there we are - one of our painted handle baskets in the Emporium section!
What wonderful news for you - now of course I will have to go an buy a ruddy copy!! Or, maybe I will sneak a look without actually passing money over the counter to them!!
That is very bad Cait and Countrymousie - they will begin to wrap it in plastic. Actually there are some lovely photos - Andrew Montgomery who took photos of our garden in 2005 has some beautiful photos of Long Barn lavender farm. I really like their products as they give you a decent amount of lavender and the packaging in simple, graphic and stylish - and they are organic! There is also a Danish house with all that white and light and coloured glass that looks so pretty. J x
Oh well done - that means my copy will be dropping through the post any day. I am sure you guys up there get your copies before us down here! Looking forward to seeing it - its my goal to try and get my work on that page.....!
No offence - just boycotting CL because of the comp as you will understand, along with several others. Do you get a mention on their website also I wonder. I can look at that for nothing!! love mousie
Congratulations :-)) have not got my copy yet but will have a look for you. TV and country living soon you will not want to talk to any of us LOL Tricia
We are on page 2 of the Emporium - with the wire basket with painted handles - it doesn't mention that the handles are handpainted but does get the contact details right - so we shall wait and see.
Feedback from others who have been in the Emporium is that there is a rush of retailers phone to see whather they can stock you (which I have had but don't do wholesale so that isn't much use) and then a steady trickle over the next 4 months or so of proper customers.
Hi Jane. Congratulations! the basket is lovely, I like the handpainted touch. My copy arrived today too, what a treat.
let's hope you get busy busy busy. I got masses of wholesale interest in the first 3 weeks, and proper shoppers too, and magazines, and the national trust! (I hope that answers your question, but ask away if there is anything else) Victoria x x
Thanks Victoria and Alison, From what I gather, CL is one of those magazines that get passed around so it will get to its final reader come the New Year!
When I spoke to Judith Rowe the potter about it ages ago she was still getting enquiries two years after her mugs had appeared.
Great news about the National Trust Victoria - is this to do a bespoke range?

In 2000 I chucked in my job as an art gallery curator and retrained in horticulture while looking for a job outside. I am now building a business based around my twin passions - plants and fabrics - and rooted firmly in the beautiful area where I live. In the summer I grow cut flowers and herbs, in the winter I sew things from wonderful textiles. Both are sold from a van in my drive and at farmers markets.
I am based near to Drymen in the Loch Lomond National Park in Scotland.
I live with Euan, our two daughters Zoe and Katie, 3 cats, 1 dog, 7 chickens, 3 ducks and a rabbit.
