Hi, my name is Laura, designer-maker behind Laura Felicity. I hand draw and silk screen print handmade wallpapers and soft interior furnishings for retail and bespoke spaces.
The lovely Lorna has asked me to tell you about a great Pop Up Shop which is being held for a brilliant cause...
Creative Hearts is a lovely little Pop Up Shop with a big heart that has been set up in the middle of London from the 3rd-13th February 2011. The shop consists of 14 designer-makers from a variety of disciplines including, jewellery, textiles, paper, print and ceramics, who have come together to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

Each designer has created unique heart pieces especially for the Pop Up Shop as well as showing their uniquely created products from their current collection, perfect for an opportunity to spend money on yourself or buy a present for Valentine’s Day.
Some of my favourites from the shop are; London Kills Me who screen print beautiful interior and fashion accessories, Sarah Morpeth produces gorgeous cut-paper books, cards and mobiles, Namiko Murakoshi creates ceramic pieces with quirky dotty 3D elements, and Squash Bespoke Cushions machine knitted and hand finished techniques create lovely warm and cosy cushions.
