Brand new Dove & Deer Dies at the NEC

Brand new Dove & Deer Dies at the NEC

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Long day at the NEC. Trying to get in the building was quite a challenge. Sat for hours in a holding queue, waiting for a space near the hall. But nobody was getting the vans that had already unloaded moved on. So there we sat. Shambolic. And people wonder why we are winding down the exhibitions! You know you‘re in for a treat when the exhibitors are almost coming to blows getting IN the…

Hi there.Thanks for popping in.Today’s Youtube is a Fresh Cut one. I do hope you enjoy it!Our aperture dies are certainly proving very popular.

The Calendars have landed! Get yours signed!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. There was much excitement at Clarity yesterday, when the Calendars were delivered. I must tell you – I am so chuffed with it! I think it’s the best one so far. Dave and Paul both said the same thing, which is gratifying. It’s 12” x 12” this year. Thought this might be a little more wall-friendly! Artwise, there is something for everyone. Anyway, my job last night was to sign some! So get yours today!…

O V E R W H E L M E D

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, this morning, I woke up and realised that D-Day is almost here! It’s almost time to get on the Clarity train which is destined for HOCHANDA, then the NEC and then QVC DÜSSELDORF. Actually, let’s not call it D-Day.
