I'll be at the Spirit of Christmas Fair at Olympia from Tuesday 30th October until Sunday 4th November 2012 and hope to see you there.  As part of a special promotion for the show Delia Online have a set of six Jenny Duff table mats to give away to the winner of their prize draw, as well as other goodies including free tickets to the Spirit of Christmas Fair. To enter  go to Delia Online.  Good Luck. 

  Being one half of KnitterKnitKnitKnit I am always drawn to a nice bit of knitting - and this is just lovely, so you can imagine my delight when I met Claire Anne O'Brien at Tent.  Originally from County Cork, Claire-Anne graduated from Central Saint Martins and is now based in East London.  The shapes and cabling are beautifully executed, making her work a joy to have in any home.

  I visited Tent recently, it's part of the London Design Festival and very inspirational, and as this is a blog, I don't feel that it should just be about Jenny Duff products, so I wanted to share some of the things I saw there...here's the first - these marvellous models are handmade by the very clever Chisel and Mouse team at their studio in Sussex and the detail is fabulous - why not have Buckingham Palace on your bookshelf? There's a whole range to choose from and they work to commission, too, so there's no reason to say that...
