New Business Cards

Hi all,

I'm very happy with my new business cards, I ordered them at Genie which is a Brighton based print and design company (keep it local!).
They did a great job and were really helpful. http://www.geniedesignandprint.co.uk/

I'm off to work on my new little projects (to be coming soon!)

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine,

Cécile

Artists Open Houses, Brighton weekends 5-27 May 2012

Hi all,
I have a fantastic news to share with you: I am exhibiting my work at the Artist Open Houses this year to the beautiful Big Bead Boutique situated 12 Dyke Road, BN1 3FE from today until Sunday 27^th of May.

The Artist Open Houses (commonly called AOH) is at the same time than the famous Brighton and Fringe festivals. It is a wonderful opportunity for all artists based in and around Brighton to exhibit their work in galleries, shops, cafes and independent houses around town.

If you want to grab yourselves handmade and unique creations of all sorts, this is the best opportunity for you to support talented local artists and you have 3 weeks to do so.

The atmosphere is great and there are most of the time cakes on offer (always a bonus after walking up and down the Brighton streets!)

A free booklet is also available in most shops where you can find details of all the houses you can visit (95 pages of it with detailed maps).

Joanne at the Big Bead Boutique has been really welcoming and she’s so enthusiastic and passionate about what she does. Pop in and browse the wonderful choice of beads, jewellery, vintage buttons and delicate lace and more that are on offer.

Here are a few links for you to check out:

The bottom is a mustard cotton that matches with the yellow of the flowers.
It is ready to be shipped to France.
