I just had to share this with you.   Don’t they look absolutely delicious?  You’d be disappointed if you tried to eat them, though, as they are made from socks.  Yes, socks.

I can’t believe socks can look this good! 

This one (below) is my favourite I think.  I love the bright colours…

I’m sitting here at the New Brighton Floral Pavilion, typing this in between chatting to customers.  It’s a lovely venue, in a large room with big full-width ceiling-to-floor windows overlooking the sea.  I should’ve brought my camera.

The Floral Pavilion will be home to a craft fair every month for the rest of this year.  I will try to fit in some more visits here around my existing events commitments, and will update my events page accordingly (click on the link to the right) as soon as I finalise the details.

If you were a customer here today, thank you.  A lot of you bought a first day at school picture frame, and I’ve also already sold a few stork paintings for new babies (some not even born yet - awaiting details!).

As always, if you are interested in buying, please do visit the website where you can buy online: www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk or come and see me in person at one of the upcoming events.

I thought you might like to see this painting for twins, a recent commission.  It’s generated a fair bit of interest so far.  It measures 14″ x 14″ and was commissioned to go on the wall of the babies’ grandmother.

The babies’ names, weights and date of birth are incorporated into the picture.

The stork canvas is painted to order each time, so I can change colours to suit you, and accommodate your own wishlist.  The 14″ x 14″ size costs £40.00 plus £3.90 UK postage (overseas postage rates on request).  It’s available to order here: http://www.1stuniquegifts.co.uk/childrens%20wall%20art.0.1.html

It makes a rather unique gift, one which is likely to be treasured and remembered.  It could be great for a christening, or just to treat yourself and remind your children or grandchildren how special they are.

Do you know anyone who would love one of these?
