DERELICT DREAMS

A while ago now my partner and I set off on a derelict adventure.

Running your own business means there is often only the smallest of opportunity for creativity, as a lot of the time is hustle and admin. But one clear Sunday we packed our bags, flask, camera, hats, snacks! and set off to North Yorkshire.

I had already planned the places I wanted to visit courtesy of Google, and Richard methodically plotted each destination for maximum coverage and speed.

There were some false starts ( the website I had used was quite old so some of the ‘derelict’ buildings had new shiny built on top), there was lots of driving and much screeching to a halt if either of us spotted a gem that wasn’t on ‘the route’.

All in, it was a beautiful fun day, and I got some really fab shots I’m happy with, and will use in the future.

Here’s a peek!

Is Spring time finally arriving?

Wow. Doesn't it seem a long winter time. I have been a hermit this winter and am so happy to see a little sunshine today. The weather really affects my mood so it's great when the nights get lighter and we can see light at the end of the tunnel!

Keeping on this cheery positive note, I thought it a great time to share with you some wonderful customer feedback. As a small business, reputation and relationships are key to building foundations, customer satisfaction and therefore returning trade. We have the most heart warming feedback from most customers, here's a few to share with you now.

"I took one of your business cards at a craft fair in Shoreditch in London a couple of years ago. I have moved house and can finally hang up my own pictures, I am so glad I still had your card and was able to thus find your website! Love your work!"- Jessica

"Just a note to say I bought your cards at the Manchester Craft Fair.
I love them and am really enjoying writing them, they are my favourite cards!"- Sally

"Your work is beautiful, I am a lover of all things natural too and can't help bringing bits of bark/sticks/ leaves home when I walk the dog, it's lovely to see you using them so creatively!" - Pippa

"The wall hanging has most certainly transformed a very bare space. I can tell you we've been looking for "the perfect thing" for some time now and tried various other prints and hangings. However, nothing seemed to look quite right. We find that your art work most definitely draws your eye as you get closer to it. We're still working on "interpretation" and just what we see in the print but that's very much part of the fun and enjoyment of having it." – David and Gabrielle
