Living North 2014!



November began and so did my fairs! They seemed to arrive and go as quickly as Christmas has. I also seem to have been neglecting my blog so I am trying to get a few posts in for you to read before the new year. :)

I loved the run up to my fairs. It was a little chilly in the studio but I was fine printing away with my heater and radio on full. Although with this sudden change I can barely step out side in the garden Bbbrrrrr. 


Incase you missed it at all. This was my stand. Slightly different from the year before but in the same location. For those of you who did pop by it was so nice to see some returning people. It was also lovely to catch up with stall holders from the previous years. 



I tried to print as many of your favourites as possible but I did find each day you seemed to have a different favourite design. I think mine has to be Dylan or Mr Duck. They both put a smile on my face each day. 


This year I had some new additions to the collection. I have produced some notebooks and also some hand drawn Christmas decorations. 


Here is a close up of my decorations. What do you think? 

The weekend was very busy. Again I loved every minute of the experience, I hope to be in the same place and spot next year. Fingers crossed :)

Where you can find Lauren Cherice...


We are now entering the festive season with Halloween and Bonfire night behind us. I am very busy getting my products and designs ready for my Christmas Fairs running though-out November and part of December. So this is where you can find me. 

Starting of next weekend... We have the Living North Fair at York Racecourse! I am so excited this is my second year at the Event! This year I will have some new products and designs with me, along with some of your favourites. 

Next up is another event in York. This time in the city centre. York is such a lovely place to be at Christmas. The city is filled with many events for the festive season and the Home and Lifestyle Fair is certainly on for your Diaries. This is my first time at The Hospitium in York. So I am very excited! 


















You can also find my work at The Dickensian Festival in Bridlington on the 23rd of Nobember at The Alex May Gallery on the Old Town Highstreet. 

The following weekend you can find me at two more events locally in Yorkshire...

29th November, Boynton Village Fair 1.30-3.30pm

30th November, Burton Constable Hall

Then my final event is bringing me back home to Bridlington Spa. This is a two day event at the beginning of December! 



I hope to see some of you there and is looking forward to meeting some new people!

Preparation!



As you will know I have been busy preparing for  my Christmas fairs, starting with the Living North one this weekend at York Racecourse! This weekend I was finishing off sewing my Christmas stockings. I am very pleased with how they have turned out as I am not a keen sewer as I am a printer. 


What do you think?


I have also been printing some fabrics for sale. These are a selection of small samples I will be selling which people can use for appliqué or possibly bunting? It features my jungle print on a small scale? 


Dylan was also in for a treat this week with another costume. This week he wanted (without choice) to be a HOT DOG! haha I thought he would hate it but he was running about after his toys in it for a short time. I have also spent the last week printing my Robin tea towels. I was nervous printing them as I wanted them to be perfect but I am very pleased how they have turned out. These will be showcased with me this weekend :) 



One of my dreams has to sell my own fabrics. Even though I would love to do this on a larger scale I just don't have all the facilities yet, but I am nearly there. Here I have some small cotton fabric pieces of my exotic jungle design and my foxglove design. The fabric sizes do vary slightly and these will also be for sale at the weekend. 



Finally, my Christmas greetings cards arrived yay! I was also pleased with these. This time I produced a multidirectional repeat design for a change using my original holly illustration. I also managed to complete all my squirrel kits! Yay! So that was another thing crossed off my list :)


So what do you think?

You can find me this weekend at York Racecourse 15th-17th November!
