The best wall was definately Giles Miller and his three-dimensional wall decor. As usual his work is gorgeous! I love the one of the left below.

Creative Hearts Pop Up Shop
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.

The Creative Hearts Shop is open until Sunday 13th February 2011 at Craft Central 33-35 St Johns Square, London EC1M 4DS. Please go along and show your support and buy some lovely handmade gifts with 5% of each purchase donated directly to the British Heart Foundation.
You can also donate with money gestures in their money boxes, and find out ways to support this amazing charity which is set up to support and find new ways to heal real hearts!

The best of East London Design Show
Last weekend was the East London Design Show at Shordich town hall. After battling with trains for the midlands down to London and my usual 1-2 hour journey taking 5 hours, I managed to make it on the last day in the last hour!
The first stand I saw was one of my favorites. People Will Always Need Plates. I have been a huge fan of their British sourced and made ceramics ever since I came to know of them via the collaboration with Margo Selby. I then heard Robin talk at the Hidden Art Forum and was on a stand next to them at Top Drawer September 2010 in the Design Gap section. Because of this I made my first purchase in less than 2 minuets of entering the show, and I don't think i was the only one as they were running extremely low on stock.
I am now the proud owner of the limited edition Sir Johns Sloane's Museum London Mug to have my tea from in the studio an i am already perusing the website to see my next purchase... I'm thinking the 30 St Mary Axe or a B of the Bang Mug.... decisions, decisions.
Another stand which caught my eye was Latorre Cruz Design I was drawn to his light but soon saw his Jet Set shelves. They are plastic shelves in the form of a traditional paper airplane. Wonderful Idea and a great contemporary and useful take on the traditional english ducks when displayed in a three on the wall. The only problem I see with them is that you wouldn't want to use them as shelves because it would ruin their beauty.
I also was stopped in my tracks by Mini Moderns new wallpaper collection. I first saw their Sitting Comfortably wall paper at Tent 2009 and thought there simple style was exquisite. They are launching their new collection to celebrate the enduring influence of the 1951 Festival of Britain.
Finally I came across one of the main reasons for me to head over to show, to see Designer and friend of mine Laura Felicity. Laura and I met at a Hidden Art event about how to promote our work. She creates bespoke wall papers and has recently branched out into cushions. I have added my favourate wall paper below but keep your eyes peeled for a whole post dedicated to her work!
