New Photos of the Dresses

I have put up the dusky pink jacket onto our Etsy shop - here
Some lovely new photos really show it off beautifully:


And - here's the flower dress:



Thanks so much to all who helped make these happen! Amazing and gorgeous images

Saturday

Exhibition

If you came along to the exhibition in St. Lawrence's Art Centre in South Walsham, you'll have noticed the way East Place Designs displayed products looked quite different from previous stalls. It was an exhibition as opposed to a fair - so it needed to have a different emphasis...

Here are a few photos of the space and some close-ups of the display as well:



Also, if you did go - we just want to say a big Thank You! - It was a real privilege to meet so many interesting and interested people over the three days. 
You all said such lovely complimentary things about our designs and products. 
You gave us lots of exciting new ideas too!






Thursday

Keeping It Local!

If you went along to the fair on the big green in Ditchingham last month, you'll have spotted Audrey - the dear little campervan behind the stall.. She was given that name because of her number plate.
It was Ditchingham's first summer fete in quite a few years. The village is near Bungay on the Suffolk/Norfolk border.
Unfortunately Annie was away in Wales so Helen was keeping it local; busy writing labels (you can just see Audrey in the background):


A couple of close ups show how carefully chosen themes and a limited colour palette pull the summer look together well. Isn't the Flower Girl dress gorgeous? 
Utilising the trellis is the best display improvement we've made this season - it's light and airy yet gives height to compliment the mannequin:


There's the old Globetrotter! - That's been over to Ireland and on the plane to Italy - safe as houses - considering they're made from paper, you know! Annie's Grandpa bought it in the 1940s. 
That sweet gingham cushion has now sold, so get your orders in as things disappear...!

Tuesday

Try Something New...

Trying out a bit of old fashioned embroidery and bead/button embellishment to add a 'bit more handmade' to some little bits and bobs...
