Home Sweet Home


Top Drawer at Earl's Court - London, has been a fabulous show for us.

It has taken days of planning, a set up day and 3 days for the actual show but it's been great.


It's been a wonderful experience to share a platform with so many talented people and designers. I was lucky to have such wonderful neighbours - makes all the difference when you are with them for 8 and a half hours every day!


The standard of display and exhibits were truly inspiring.



Someone even brought in their own Double Decker Bus!



But I was really pleased with what dots and spots had to offer.




One lady said - ''You are so Top Drawer!'' as it's a design led show I felt a huge amount of pride.
We had a fabulous show - lots of orders, I'm certainly going to be kept very busy! Lots of catalogues were given out to genuinely interested people. Lots of business cards to follow up and potentially a couple of very exciting projects and product designs ahead.

I've been on the phone to see if my 'help' is available all next week as there is a huge amount to get prepped and sent out. So it's good bye London until this time next year (Yes! We have already booked our stand!) and hello Harrogate in 6 months time.
I have loved my time at the show but it is soooooo nice to be home!

Great blog posts and your stand looked even better in the flesh. I stopped by very briefly and you were busy with customers, so I said a very brief hello to your husband and moved on.
We've got a stand at Spring Fair (our first trade event) so I have followed your progress as something to aspire to in the future x
