Our monthly newsletter has been dropping into e-mail boxes all over the country! This month’s theme is autumn, summer is almost a distant memory and the end of the year fast approaching. Why not give your home a little tuiss autumn love?
With 100’s of blinds to choose from you’re bound to find just what you need to give your home that little lift in time for the festive season.
What to do with all the leaves falling off the trees at the moment? The easy way is to create leaf mould, sounds delightful doesn’t it?
The beauty of creating leaf mould is that you won’t fill your bin up with leaves and in a couple of years you will have the most fantastic peat like matter to dig back into your garden.
Quite simply put the leaves in a black bag, add some water and punch holes in the side. Leave in a corner of your garden and hey presto the magic will work. For more detailed instructions just visit Recycle Now or Compost Gardener.
Last week we took delivery of our new Lookbook. We love it so much we actually had the front cover blown up onto a canvas (thanks to Canvas4life) and hung on the wall of one of the offices. (The picture makes it look a little like we work out of a garage, we actually work out of a converted barn and the Creative’s office, where the picture is hung, is the old hayloft.)
Lookbooks are sent out with samples or to get inspired online take a browse through our ‘Get Inspired’ pages.
Slowly but surely autumnal days are creeping in, so my mind has turned to thinking about autumn, which inevitably leapt to leaves and then kind of inevitably leapt to hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs need our help, particularly in the colder months and it’s easier than you think to create a hedgehog friendly corner of your garden. You can even make or buy you own hoggy home to keep them safe and secure through the winter.
Take a look at the British Hedgehog Preservation Society or Snuffle Lodge, a hedgehog sanctuary based here in Nottingham, for hedgehog care advice.
We love getting up close and personal with our blinds! Our regular photo shoots are the perfect chance for us to see our products displayed in all their glory. We’ve just had the proofs back from our recent shoot, just take a look at the fabulous Dark Willow and Mulberry wooden blind, stunning in a shabby chic country kitchen.
We are putting together our look book for autumn/winter which will be filled with equally beautiful shots, look out for it when you next order samples.
