I can't quite hear sleigh bells ringing


Feeling a tiny bit CHRISTMASSY ?


Well here'a picture that has just a smidgeon of yuletide spirit.

Shakes

 Our new design celebrates 400 years of William Shakespeare.


Next year we may well be celebrating another famous Englishman, for 15th October 2017 will be the 30th anniversary of The Tempest for which he is famous.  Was it a tragedy, or a comedy, that fateful weather forecast in which Michael Fish (for it is he) downplayed, indeed MOCKED the very idea that a hurricane was on its way? A bit of both, methinks.

I'm saying nothing

This is a tea towel btw.

Salt n Pepa

Here is a NEW design which will be making its way onto a bevy of Lush Designs products


When we were lasses, way back in the last century, we used to flick our bad hair to THESE crazy ladies doing the do:  Push It


Spot the connection.

Perhaps we should contact them and ask if they'd like some Salt and Pepper design Oven Gloves?

Poetry...not just for romantics...



No indeed,

We like to think that TS Eliot would have enjoyed using a Lush Designs notebook,

although he managed to write the magnificently unromantic
Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock without one ...

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.

Take your pick and pluck a lovely little notebook from our range and see if you can start a whole new career as a poet...
