Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Sorry there’s no project today. Been playing catch up with business, as you do when you swan off to the Fatherland for a week. But I did want to let you know that the Clarity Club Member’s 50% Sale has started today. It runs all month. There are lots of our own-branded products on half price, from stamps and stencils through to Groovi and parchment. So head on over to the website and have a…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Back in blighty, after a very long drive from Frankfurt in torrential rain. Fortunately, I had Rosie for company, which was fun. Dave and Paul were in the van, which we faithfully tailed all the way. We got to Calais with minutes to spare and cruised straight onto the train. But now, having taken my boots off and had a brew, I have to say, enough is enough. Tomorrow, after a good nights sleep,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Greetings from Frankfurt. Still here, but that’s it. All done and dusted. Show’s over. And I have to tell you, we had the smoothest, fastest, easiest breakdown for a show EVER! We got the golden ticket for van placement on the roof, and were in and out before most of the others could even get their trucks on site. What a result. I had secretly been dreading the breakdown, because it is usually gruelling…
Hiya! Thanks for popping in. Been another very long day in Frankfurt, but who cares?!? We had a great day, met a whole bunch of lovely people again, took a rake of orders and made two massively important plans – real game changers. Until I get it officially in writing though, I won’t spill the beans. It would only be frustrating if these tectonic plate shifters fell through. In the meantime, please allow me to introduce you to a group…
Hiya! Had a good Sunday? Ours started with hilarity in the hotel breakfast room, because we threw the English etiquette book away, and made a picnic load of cheese, ham and sausage rolls to take for lunch, and smuggled them out in my handbag. Mum, if you’re reading this – you’d have been proud of us!!! The fact is, we just aren’t hungry at 7 in the morning, but at lunchtime we could eat a horse! So we took it…
Hi there! Greeting from Frankfurt. One down, three to go! And I am absolutely cream crackered already! Don’t think I’m cut out for these hardcore long days in exhibition halls any more. Until you’ve done Frankfurt, you can’t know just how gruelling it is. And you wouldn’t believe what I did when we were unloading the van on Wednesday night, which hasn’t helped at all. There we were on the stand, having just unloaded all the gear up onto the…
Hi there. Greetings from Frankfurt. Been pedalling hard all day, getting the stand ready here. BRITS abroad, honestly! First thing we did before we even started, was sit down and have a coffee with some chocolate. 7 hours later, and it’s all done and dusted – even polished to a high shine! We are so excited to be here. Whether we meet lots of new customers or just a few, the bit that impresses me is we’re here! We got…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Vhilst ve vend our merry vay to the Trade Show in Frankfurt, Maria has been launching a superb Celtic collection of Groovi Plates and the brand new XL Groovi Plate Mate, to house all those larger plates. We knew you’d like them, but we didn’t know how much. SOLD OUT in 37 mins! WOW! Thank you so much. More stock has been added to the show, so let’s see how long that lasts (looks like brother Steve’s on…
Hi there. Welcome to wainy, wet and windy ! The countdown is on for Maria’s Celtic One Day Special, which starts this evening at 6pm on HOCHANDA. The Special Celtic Bundle is superb, and as has been requested by so many of you, there is a brand new Groovi Plate Mate included, an extra large one, to house your large A4 Square plates, such as Tina Cox’s 3-D Flowers etc. What we’ve done though, to make it easier to store…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in to YouTube Tuesday! Today it’s BRAYER TIME. So many of you have asked about how NOT to get stripes, that a little video just highlighting the remedy follows: I hope that helped a bit. There are plenty of other brayering Youtubes if you go the the Claritystamp Youtube channel, they are all listed. Here are all the products I have used in this week’s VT, which are 20% off until next Tuesday. Now’s the…
