Pop Up London in the USA (and why the cover is different)

I have had quite a few enquiries as to why the US edition of Pop Up London has a different cover to the UK edition.

The lovely people at Candlewick, decided that the Union Jack flag would not be as suitable for the US market as it would be for us Brits here the UK.

So we designed a separate cover with an emphasis on the opening Tower Bridge and the River Thames.

Book covers for the American market are often different and sadly, there is nowhere on Amazon to say that they are the same books. I often get complaints, quite rightly, from people who have ordered both books, thinking that they would be different…

So I guess the most important thing to state is that they are THE SAME BOOK INSIDE (and just as fabulous)!

Pop Up London will be published on May the 1st in the USA and is happily back in stock here in the UK.

Top Drawer Spring 2012

It’s that time of year again! After weeks of planning and panicking as to whether the cushions would be with us in time (they arrived the day before the show!) it’s finally up and running.

Sadly I am unable to go as it clashes with my daughters 11+ exam and family comes first… So I am home alone nail-biting and worrying, whilst Melissia and Marcus hold fort.

So sorry to miss you all and apologies for not being there in person, I will definitely be at Top Drawer in September (and Decorex!)

Hope those going enjoy the show and do say hi to Marcus and Melissia for me! X Jennie

Decorex London 2011

Decorex was an amazing show, totally inspirational and more than a little daunting.

I met some of the most fabulous people I have ever met. The team at Linwood could not have been more fun or more welcoming. It was a pleasure working with them over the 5 days and I miss them all. Genuinely!

The collection went down really well. Much relief from me, as it was a brave move for Linwood and I know that Barny and Warrick Gloyn, the directors, really championed my cause (Thanks Guys!!)

Lots of excitements that will have to wait until all is finalized (do watch this space)…

But for now, here’s how it all looked:

Top Drawer Trade Show Sept 11th – 13th

Pheweee! It’s up! Exhausting day (look how hot and flustered I look!), slightly disappointed with our stand, it’s a little hidden away but we hope people will still seek us out (come see us – stand G23!)… Lovely to see lots of old faces and new friends. Fingers crossed it’s a good show. I’ll let you know how it goes next week! Wish me luck… X
