It was such a lovely weekend ‘weatherwise’

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky over Cardigan yesterday, and although it was still pretty cold it finally feels as if we’re starting to shake off the last bits of winter and can look forward to Spring.

What better way to sum up springtime than snowdrops – I took this yesterday afternoon while on a walk through Cwm Degwel. lovely stuff! Viva la primavera!

Artist, Samantha Gilraine came in yesterday to refresh our Staircase Gallery in the Bristol shop.

Samantha is a Bristol based artist and photographer who merges traditional painting and digital photography.

“My aim when creating artwork is not to just recreate what a landscape looks like, but the real experience and feeling of being within a landscape. ”

Pop by to see Samantha’s work over the next few weeks.

We also have a selection of greetings cards on sale of  Samantha’s work if you would like to take a smaller version home with you.

To accompany the current exhibition here at the Carnaby store we have a limited run of Jessie Ford women’s tees on sale.

Get yourself down to the store to check ‘em out…but if you would like to buy one and you don’t have the opportunity to make it down, we can offer a mail order service.  You can call us on 0207 287 2345
