1. Christmas...in September?

   Posted on 7:00pm Wednesday 20th Sep 2023

   It may only be September, but for all businesses in retail, Christmas is such a huge part of the year that planning has to start early...usually before the summer in fact.  Sales in the 4th quarter make up a big percentage of retail's annual figures and so today I've been progressing with new Christmas card designs and having a think about new gift sections for the website.

   

   My cards are always a big seller at Christmas.  If you're looking for something with Nadelik Lowen on, then you've come to the right place. Whether it's a Nativity Christmas card, a Rudolph Christmas card, a Surfing Santa Christmas card or something else, please have a look at my designs, I hope you find something you like. And if you've an idea for a Cornish Christmas card, please let me know, I'm always open to suggestions.

   

   Nadelik Lowen is Cornish language for Merry Christmas and it's on most of my Cornish Christmas cards. They can be purchased individually and I also do gift bundles which are really great value too.  

   

   I think sending cards (and Christmas cards) is such a lovely thing to do, just letting someone know we're thinking about them.   A card from Cornwall is sure to bring back memories of holidays or time spent here - and I love having Nadelik Lowen on them as many don't know many Cornish language words. Some of my designs also incorporate Cornish Tartan.

   

   As well as selling my Christmas cards online, I also sell all my Cornish Nadelik Lowen cards at my Christmas Markets and Fairs too - a list of where I'll be is on my events page, so if you're nearby, you'll be able to choose the ones you want and save on postage.

   

   I'm off to continue planning and prepping for the busy season ahead - and thinking about a few new designs too. Watch this space.

2. Cape Cornwall Art and Craft Exhibition

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 3rd Aug 2023

   Running from Monday 7th August until Friday 18th August, this huge exhibition and sale of art and crafts at Cape Cornwall School in aid of Cancer Research UK is an event definitely not to miss.

   Jam packed with a huge range of beautiful items from local artists and crafters, it's an amazing event to spend an hour or two at.  Everything is for sale, and not only will you be purchasing and supporting a local artist, you'll be helping raise funds for CRUK too.

   Since the event started, the fundraising committee have raised over £1 million, absolutely incredible - and they're working hard towards their next milestone of £2m.

   Run entirely by volunteers,this amazing Exhibition was started in 1967 by the late Dr David Jefferson Brewer who had seen the high quality paintings and crafts being created in local homes, and had the vision to use them to raise funds for what was then, the British Empire Cancer Campaign Committee.

   This first Exhibition was held in the Parish Rooms with items on display only and raised £200.

   The Exhibition moved on to the W I Hall and then to the newly opened Cape Cornwall School.

   As time has gone on the Exhibition has expanded and now uses 3 halls in the school, has approx 400 Exhibitors each year making it one of the largest Art and Craft Exhibitions in the south west of the UK.
