WATCH OUT!!!!

Our new tea towel bears a warning to those unwary scuba divers who think the most dangerous thing in the River Thames is the undertow...

Available very soon at www.lushlampshades.co.uk , at the Lush Designs shop at 8 college Approach in Greenwich and Grace and Favour, Northcross Road, East Dulwich.

Today East Dulwich, tomorrow THE WORLD!!!!!

Those of you who are lucky enough to live near Northcross Road in East Dulwich may be familiar with a shop called Grace and Favour. The proprietor, Rose Ratcliffe asked us if we would like to have a Lush Designs presence in the shop and we loved the idea. Grace and Favour sells unusual gifts, accessories, vintage fashion and homewares, and Rose has let us occupy part of the shop with a cheery display. See here our friend Karen who we enslaved in order to help us get it together over the Easter weekend. Karen kindly played the role of Lush designs helpmeet but actually she's a world reknowned embroidery designer. Oh yes. See her fabulous work at http://www.spurgin.co.uk/

Here's Karen again - we eventually let her leave once she had made everything look ship-shape and Bristol fashion.

Indeed here's a picture of Karen's fabulous work...

... and here's a picture of part of our display at Grace and Favour 35 Northcross Road, East Dulwich, SE22 9ET. Come visit!!!

Three cheers for the red white and blue

This is part of an illustration for an article about the things various non-British celebrities love and hate about the UK.

The loutish behaviour of the British was commented upon negatively.

I can't think what they mean.

Oh, but the weather's dreary.

Time to butter-up a teetering stack of toasted crumpets, park your arse on one of these cheerful cushions and watch a boxed set of Sgt Bilko.

Tins on tinternet

Those dandycats are putting in an appearance once again;

This time on a handy storage tin which would be just the thing to put your teabags/pencils/cottonwoolballs/sweeties in;

or if you're a cat you could keep a dead bird in it.

Available soon at www.lushlampshades.co.uk and RIGHT NOW at The Lush Designs Shop, 8 College Approach, Greenwich, SE10 9HY.

Deerly beloved

"Oh how I wish I had a lampshade with a stag on it, several dogs, three pheasants and some viaducts!
... In a smaller size too? Hot red would be - hot......
... in cream, perchance, and metallic gold...
... in that most directional of colourways, viridian and prussian blue....?"

Well, here you are. Buy these and you can have all the thrill of hunting without the concomitant bloodshed!

Tally ho!

Lush Designs; the FABULOUS shop

This is what our shop window has been looking like over the festive yuletide season. Gay and cheerful are the new stag/dog/pheasant shades are in seasonal tints of red, gold and white!

See how very DEAR our customers are?

They recognised queen Victoria on this lampshade -

Cute, adorable AND intelligent.
