Spring and associated products

Does anyone remember this HILARIOUS poem...
"Spring has sprung,
The grass is ris,
I wonder where the birdies is?"
Well we have the answer..
They're here on this new lampshade, designed by us and available from the Lush Designs shops in Greenwich, East Dulwich and Columbia Road, and www.lushlampshades.co.uk/ any minute now

Exclusive

Stop press:  Traces of seahorse found in budget range fish fingers.
That hilarious joke was our sophisticated way of introducing our new aquatically-themed vases. Jolly jellyfish, slinky seahorses and a dear little dab all drift daintily round this lovely new vase which is made, like all our ceramic tablewares, in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of English pottery.

Now, wouldn't they look nice with some eryngiums, some echinops and some eucalyptus foliage in them?

Porcine Paper

Is it all a bit plain?
Minimalism getting you down?
Exhausted by acres of dreary Farrow and Ball tastefulness? 
Suffering from mural nakedness?


Help is at hand!
Our popular pigs will soon be available on wallpaper
and it won't be a moment too soon.

even if its wrong it can be right



Making the colours for ceramics is a skilled and complex process involving some trial an error. Whenever a product is sampled some of the early ones are wrong, but in a good way. Our china is made in Stoke on Trent by Edwards and Lockett, and their David let me have some samples to take back to London with me.



These three cups and saucers look excellent in front of this plate by painter Stewart Helm, flanked by a voodoo doll with our Billy's face on it and a Sudanese Dinka pipe.  

I tell thee, I should have been one of them there stylists.

Goldfinches? Greenfinches?

Spring must surely be but a breath away


Here's a couple of birds who are about to enjoy feast of catkins and lichen.

Both Sting and Gwyneth Paltrow enjoy a similar diet and credit it with the maintenance of a lustrous golden barnet.

Lush Designs, yes. Carolyn Cheng, no.

We designed this HILARIOUS leaflet for our Greenwich shop way back in 2009.


Like Frankenstein's monster it has been revived and come to life on the website of someone who goes by the name of Carolyn Cheng. She's decided to claim it as her own design.

Blimey.  Its not THAT good.

Check out her website to see he complete portfolio of mysteriously diverse styles http://www.carolyndesign.co.uk/

Mind you, by the time you read this perhaps she'll have had the sense to remove our design and replace it with something she's designed herself.
