V&A Chinoiserie Cake Stand
We were having tea at the Natural History Museum last week and were delighted to see that our V&A Chinoisiere cake stand was being used in the tea shop! 
Autumn Fair here we come!
We had a fantastic response to all our new products at Exclusively Housewares and now we’re looking forward to really good Autumn Fair. We hope to have all the new collections ready to show our buyers and there will also be a demonstration by Justin Capp on the Cook Live stand. There will be more to show from the new Katie Alice collection, which will include a bakeware range: small pudding bowls, ramekins, gravy jug, pie dish and casserole dishes. We also hope to have our new Kew Gardens oven to tableware range.
Come and see us we’ll be situated in Hall 2, Stand F30/G31.
We Did It!
Yesterday, 9th June 2010, the girls from Creative Tops – Team Peachy, ran, jogged, hopped, skipped and walked their way around a 10k circuit of the Silverstone race track. The team wore matching pink T Shirts, with their nick names emblazoned on the back, together with the Race for Life slogan. There were tears of joy, pain and some rather nasty looking blisters, but most importantly, there was an overwhelming feeling of team spirit and we all managed to finish the race! So a massive well done to everyone and a huge thank you to all our suppliers, customers, friends and families who gave their support to this very worthy cause. We were interviewed by Heart FM and also if you would like to continue supporting our cause please follow this link www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/justpeachy.
So What’s New at Exclusively Housewares!
We will be showing several new product ranges including our brand new designs from the historic Kew Gardens art library. The fine bone china mug collection includes an array of botanical fruit designs, gorgeous florals by Pierre Redouté and illustrative architectural prints by Sir William Chambers. All the mugs are available in smart printed gift boxes. As well as mugs, we are also planning to launch three fine china tableware collections and oven to tableware.
Following on from the success of our V&A fine bone china mug collection we have introduced six new patterns into the range. These designs have been carefully selected from the V&A archives and are an eclectic mix of different influences from Indian chintz to quintessentially English William Morris prints. All mugs are available in beautifully printed gift boxes.
No one could have escaped the revival in everything homespun and hand-made. In response to this re-discovered passion for afternoon tea, we have collaborated with local lifestyle designer, Katie Alice to create a lovely vintage collection of ceramics, textiles and kitchen storage. Her ideas are inspired by the natural flora and fauna that grow around her and she works closely with our studio to create a suitable commercial surface patterns.
These are just some of the highlights from our collections, we also have more to show you from V&A, Born to Shop, Monopoly and Rachel Hale.
We do hope you’ll be able to join us this year, please come and see us on Stand 306.
