New stock just in time for Mothers Day (3rd of April)

Not particularly 'Mothers Day' themed but new in is this wicker storage box. I liked its kind of unusual shape, it can hold a lot of stuff without taking up too much room, practical and pretty.

Sorry for the terrible quality photo but i just thought id share a photo of the new flyers we have had printed up for The Corner Emporium. Each individual business has their own individual flyer and heres mine.... im really happy with it, very professional looking.

Shop>> New Additions

Well it looks like i had forgotten about my blog for a couple of days or weeks.... i don't know i've lost track.

Anyway im here now! So i thought i'd share with you some new additions to my shop in The Corner Emporium shop.

In my last post i had just got a lovely new typewriter in a beautiful black case. I totally wanted to keep it for myself and was contemplating taking the price tag off and swapping it for a 'display only sign'. The typewriter had only been in the shop 3 days and it was snapped up by a student from CCAD who loved it equally as much as i did, so i had to let it go. At least it was going to a good home and was going to get some use (the girl was using it in one of her college projects) and i suppose if i had taken it home it would have just sat on my desk. But don't be sad because there are 2, yes 2!!! new typewriters in the shop.

I just finished making up this cushion and put it out on display this afternoon. The bicyle is screen printed onto a thick pink linen and patterned fabrics appliqued on.

Since everyone has been asking to buy the bunting i have for decoration around the shop and people always want to buy the piles of fabric i have folded on my shelves i decided to kill two birds with one stone and have made some of my very own bunting for sale!

So if you are local or in the area make sure you come down to The Corner Emporium and have a look. There is not only my shop there, The Corner Emporium showcases 9 businesses ranging from arts & crafts to baby clothes and even fudge!

And even if you have been down before you should come back as there is always new stock arriving/being made.

Sunday

New Additions

So like a said i have recently been having a little switch around in the shop. I am making more stock and having more and more ideas i am wanting to do some lifestyle merchandising; putting my products in a setting that they are intended for. Such as displaying cushions on chairs and just adding some more homey touches to the shop.


I have revamped an old stool and little table that i had and bought from a local charity shop. Painted on some colourful eye catching paint and sanded one of them down to give it a distressed look.

Shop Update

The shop window is far from what myself and all the other shop owners want it to look like but we haven't had much of a chance to do anything about it since it has been so busy over Christmas but now it is starting to quiet down we are going to be getting around to dressing the window. But for now i had a little play around with my display and decided to display some of my cushions along with some letter sets and a button frame all piled into a suitcase.

Here is some snaps of some new products available to buy from The Corner Emporium.

Polka Dot Heart Cushion £14.00

Collage Board £13.00

Gift Tags £1

There just aren't enough hours in the day

I have been a little naughty and slacked off from my (kind of) regular Blogging.
Im finding it hard to find time to blog when i spend all day at the shop and when i get home im making more stock. But i am going to try my best to keep the blog updated with stuff i make.
The shop has been going well. I sold two lovely cushions to a lady yesterday and she was kind enough to send me a text message to tell me how happy she was with them! One of the cushions she bought was the button love heart cushion.
It's nice to know my creations go to a loving home.
Here is some photos of some new cushions i have made and are now for sale in the shop.

Despite the snow I made it to Designers Marketplace. Heres a few photos of my stall

Just a little thank you present for someone

Flo Rida

Back in November time i made cushions and flat samples for my Final Major Project at college.

One of the flat samples was Florida themed, the only reason it was a flat sample rather than a cushion was due to lack of time. After the project had been handed in my Mum asked if she could have the Florida sample for our home in Florida. Rather than just framing or hanging it i made it into a cushion.

Here it is in its new home.

My very first Etsy sale

I am happy to say that over the weekend i made my very first Etsy sale.
My lovely San Francisco cushion was snapped up by Harriet from London. Although it has been in my shop for a few months now im sad to see it go. But there are still two cushions left in my Etsy shop, why not pop over for a gander?

what i've been up to...

I have been busy designing a new cushion similar to the style of my San Francisco, Vegas and Paris cushions. I have just begun screen printing onto fabric and am about to add some colour and texture with a bit of machine embroidery.
Can you guess the theme of this cushion?... hmmmm

I'll post a photo of the finished product soon!

Bulldog Print

A British inspired print which i have then embroidered into.

This design was originally created for a lamp which i printed for a friend but i like the bulldog so much im experimenting with framing some of the prints and printing them onto cushions. Stay tuned.
