What's this?


Something bold
something NEW, 
something wibbly 
and something blue.

Thats what all us ladies will be wearing when someone eventually gets round to marrying us,

and as it happens its also a fair description of our new design.  But what is it for....?
GUESS!

Whatever it is, you'll be sure it'll find its way into our range.  See the whole shebang at www.lushlampshades.co.uk/

Columbia Road !

Would you Adam and Eve it? In our continuing quest for world domination we've finally managed to cross the river to the East End and we've temporarily dominated a small shop in fabulous Columbia Road. Have a butcher's at this elegant display...


We're both cockneys at heart e'en though one of us be Irish and then other from the frozen North, so the proximity of both bagels and curry is imperative for future happiness. We'll be shovelling jellied eels in our North and South before you can say Ruby Murray.


The shop may only be the size of a bus shelter, but tardis-like we've managed to get all our stuff in there with a cunning curtain in Cottages and Castles fabric concealing all the crap.


We love this white-painted woodeny wall which provides the perfect backdrop for Lush designs cards and wrapping paper.
Come and visit us when you're down this way me old china - Lush Designs, 136 Columbia Road, London E2 7RJ, we're only open from Friday til Sunday when you can visit the famous Columbia Road Flower Market.
Meanwhile, you can have a gander at our website www.lushlampshades.co.uk/

HOME Earl's Court

Exhibiting at home is a fixture in the Lush Designs diary.
Getting ready for a show is the most frightful palaver


Luckily we had student Honor Edgcombe helping us.  Here she is peeping cheekily from behind the console whilst doing something dangerous and important with a stanley knife.  We managed to send her back to Nottingham where she's studying on the Decorative Arts Degree course with most of her fingers still attached. Phew she'll still be able to throw pots and do drawings etc.

Here's one of our new Bee Garden cushions featuring the Bee Conjurer.



This is what our dark and CHOCOLATEY stand looked like. Hey! Remember Lime Barrel and Strawberry Cream chocolates in Terry's All Gold? Kinda puts me in mind of those delicious chocs.....
waddya mean you preferred the Montelimar? Sheesh 

Our deliciousness managed to secure many orders for Lush designs including one from Whippet
in Balham.
Balham here we come!!!

For those of you who live far from Balham, visit us at www.lushlampshades.co.uk/

New Year, NEW China!



Our new fine bone china espresso cup and tea plate in gorgeous burnt orange with real gold feature that most charming of creatures, the Palm Civet...


These dear little fellers eat coffee cherries and poo out the coffee beans which are then made into the finest coffee in the world.
This process is not graphically depicted on this tableware but tastefully alluded to.

Available very soon from www.lushlampshades.co.uk
