The Best Thing Ever Just Happened. Cherry Lips & Floral Gums.

/

The other night I was getting stuck into some of my retro favourites, Squirrel Floral Gums, and I fired an email off to Tangerine who manufacture them. I was wondering if they had any cool retro merch, a bit like the Tunnocks Tea Cake cushions & t-shirts, only based on these gummy classics.

They didn't, but they said they'd send me something anyway and OH MY GOD LOOK WHAT JUST ARRIVED. I don't know who is more excited by the sweet shop sized jars, me or my son (me). Thanks, Tangerine.

The World of Kitsch Invades Ikea Belfast

/

Ikea are celebrating 25 years in the UK this October. As part of the celebrations they've asked me to makeover some of their basic furniture pieces, to show visitors to the Belfast store how anyone can easily customise furniture at home themselves.

They will also be running in store workshops with Lulabelle's House, who's class I took last year and made over a telephone table. So if you are keen to try some arty DIY yourself, keep an eye on the signage in store for dates of workshops.

I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the decorating. In the meantime if you want to see some World of Kitsch art, I still have my light boxes on display at Crafty Belfast in T13 in the Titanic Quarter.
