Hi there! Thanks for joining me. Big Day today. Well, it certainly is for our daughter Grace! She’s joining Team Clarity again! Woohoo!! Many of you will remember her as a teenager, when she used to help at the shows, and answer the office phone. Delightful energy, hard worker, great fun. Working at Clarity paid for her University years! She graduated with no debts, no loans – not even so much as an overdraft. Thing is, she learned the ropes…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thanks for watching the TV shows on HOCHANDA today if you did – well, somebody must have, becasue the sales smashed targets all over!! And lovely Linda is on again now as I write, having put a massive dent in substantial stock in the first hours at 6pm. Do tune in to watch on catch up – her designs are superb. So picture the scene. Linda says to me as we are clearing away…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What a glorious day! I won’t keep you long; just want to showcase the new stamps collections which are being launched on HOCHANDA by myself tomorrow 2-4pm. I love ‘em! Only one hitch: if the weather is this lovely tomorrow, then you good people will be out and about, or in the garden sunning yourselves. Which I completely understand, and would actually encourage you to do! But it does mean that sales will be…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. It’s late and that’ll do, donkey! Been prepping alllll day, but am happy with what I have prepared for the 2-4 Sunday TV show. Five demos in total. I hope to get to them all of course, but if we run out of time or stock – whichever comes first – I shall be sure to blog the artwork on this ere blog. Can I show you one of them? Would that spoil the…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been a busy day today. Lots to do and loads of boxes got ticked. Not least the Leonie shows tomorrow. If you like Leonie’s style, you’ll LOVE these stamps and stencils! What a cracking concept. The stamps are nested scribbles – 3 in 1. And there’s a tanged stencil to go with each stampset. You can just snip the straight line bits away, to separate them out. Really excellent. We have been going like…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wet n dreary this afternoon in Kent. But hey! If you don’t like the English weather, just wait a minute! Two weeks from now we will all have had enough of the heat wave which is imminent, and be praying for rain! It’s a funny old life, innit. Years ago, and for many years, we lived in a really old farm (built 1412) in the middle – and I mean the MIDDLE – of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got home from our little expedition to New York. What a fruitful trip that was! Apart from being thoroughly enjoyable, spending time with Dave, Grace and her Mark, we really got our ducks in a row regarding the US Office, and how it’s all going to work. Exciting times ahead! But now it’s back to Clarity UK! And what a wonderful treat it was to kick back and watch my dear friend Sam…
Hi everyone! Paul here. I hope you have had an enjoyable Bank Holiday Weekend. I really have no idea where this year has gone. Almost the end of May, how did that happen? So much has happened the past 5 months at Clarity Towers, with lots more new and exciting things on the horizon! (Yes, I know I am a tease, but you wouldn’t have it any other way!) Anyway, I thought I would highlight this beautiful Oriental Lattice Stencil…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Can’t stay long! Got to get limbered up for our next adventure today! Got a lot of business stuff done yesterday, so as it’s a glorious sunny Sunday, we are going boating in Central Park. Last time it was just Grace and I. Very memorable, very funny…. Today we’ve got the men in tow, so look out! Farmer Dave coming through! But. Have you seen Grace’s Mark’s arms? Built like a brick you know…
Hi there, Thanks for dropping in. Up early with the jetlag jitters, and already the city is buzzing below. So while Dave goes out in search of coffee with an extra shot, I thought I’d write to my buddies back home, and share a few snapshots of yesterday with you…. Walked miles down to the start of the High Line. It is is an elevated walkway, which has transformed a disused railway line into a beautiful art walk. We walked…
