PROJECT BAGS

My bold colour pop zip pouches are amazing for all your important ‘bits & bobs’ when you are off on your travels or in your work bag making those much needed items easy to find in often crowded spaces.

They are also perfect Project Bags for small knitting, crochet or craft projects. Keeping your projects safe and easy to transport in a stylish functional pocket. I use mine to store my ‘in development’ lino and tools so I can take them wherever I go.

AWARD WINNER

CRAFT Festival, Cheltenham

8th - 10th MARCH 2024

Cheltenham Town Hall

Wow, what a great weekend exhibiting at Craft Festival Cheltenham. Sarah and the team really do create the most amazing events.

Blown away to have been highly commended at the event. What an honour to have been selected from such a talented group of amazing designer/makers.

CREATE STATEMENT LIGHTING

A perfect way to brighten up your home with a bold colourful statement, the CLUSTER PENDANT has a real WOW factory but is in fact very easy to achieve . A beautifully simple way to add colourful statements to your home, you can cluster with a couple of shades or as many as as you like. I prefer the balance of odd numbers so would suggest a cluster pendant with 3 or 5 lampshades.

Why not use 3 different lampshade designs to create a wonderful colour pop or try and cluster 5 lampshades in one design and colour to create a bold larger statement piece. Creative Cables sell amazing cables and pendant kits so you’ll find everything you need to create the fitting for your lampshades so it really couldn’t be easier.

3x 20cm lampshades, cluster pendant light, duck egg blue handmade bird lampshade 20cm, teal blue handmade fox lampshade 20cm, orange handmade bird lampshade 20cm

Charity Project - Creativity supporting mental health

Charlotte from Flowers for Susie teaching people pottery throwing

Charity is how this whole company started and charity support remains so important to both myself and the business. Over the summer I took my potters wheel to Michael House hostel for the homeless to have a fun afternoon of pottery throwing in their wonderful garden with Mark and some of the residents there. Creativity really can help with managing our mental health and has really been a life saver for me over the last 10 years since the passing of my mum.

We had a fantastic afternoon creating pots and chatting about our lives. Sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed by life, your struggles, a bereavement or just juggling life itself having a process driven activity to completely focus the mind can really reset how we feel.

The world is a difficult place right now so to be able to help this wonderful hostel through creative practice at the most difficult of times really does mean the world to this small business.

“The Babushka tea towels and the teal flower tray arrived and they are GORGEOUS. I bought the tea towels as teacher gifts but now I’ve seen them I need to order 6 more for myself!!” - Charmaine, London. Website customer.

“I absolutely love all my Flowers For Susie products. The stunning designs wouldn't look out of place in Selfridges and the quality of the products is outstanding. I've become a regular customer over the past year, adding tea towels, trays, placemats, pictures and cards to my growing collection and each one is exceptional. I've also bought several items as Christmas and birthday gifts, which have always been received with great joy and admiration. The attention to detail in the bespoke packaging is stunning too. I firmly believe in supporting small independent businesses, but I also don't think this will be a 'small' business for long! Great success awaits this amazing brand. Charlotte's artwork is second to none.” - Beth Gorman, Bournemouth. Website customer.
