Christmas Gift Fair in aid of 'The Daisy Appeal'

On Wednesday 28^th November from 4pm-8pm, I will be joining other stalls at the ‘Travellers Rest – Christmas Gift Fair’ in Long Riston!

 

I am very excited to be part of the festivities especially as it is in aid of a good cause. The event is in support of ‘The Daisy Appeal’ a local charity which helps to improve treatment and research opportunities in common diseases such as cancer and heart disease. They have already raised the money to build a Medical Research Centre at Castle Hill Hospital and now want to raise £6.6 million to purchase PET-CT Scanning equipment. The purchase of this equipment will mean that they will be the first facility in Yorkshire to offer advanced imaging facilities linked to an on-going scientific research programme.

 I have been busy preparing special Christmas gifts that have not even been sold or shown anywhere to make them extra special for the event! I will also be donating a lovely prize for the raffle to help the good cause!

I am very much looking forward to the festive food and mulled wine it all sounds very tempting!

Here is the address:

I hope to see you there!

For Two Weeks Only

Well it took 8 gruelling hours in total to hang the ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ exhibition at the Bridlington Spa but it is up now and on display for all to see!

Here is a little peek into our efforts!

 However, it is only on display for two weeks so if you want to view it - view it NOW or miss out on some first class art work by Rhea Sherriff Hammond and I!

Now in Stock!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been a very busy girl! Not only have I been gearing up for the long awaited ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ exhibition with fellow artist Rhea Sherriff-Hammond, I have also been visiting the most beautiful shops and galleries stocking them with my new products.

 

The first of the venues to stock my Eco bags was the lovely Alex May Gallery in Bridlington (pictured above). If you have been reading my blog you will know that I recently took part in a group exhibition there which is still on-going exhibiting fantastic works of art and gifts produced by local artists and makers such as Lauren Cherice Designs, Joy Johnson, Kate Jordan, Carlo Verda, Keith Bruce and my good self of course!

The Eco bags have also found their way to the wonderful Back o’ the Shop Gallery in Terrington and will feature in their new Christmas exhibition ‘Santa’s Skint’ running from the 3^rd November till 24^th December! I’m sure there will be lots of other great gift ideas there so make sure it is one of your Christmas shopping venues!

I have also begun to stock two new shops with both my Christmas cards and Eco Bags! One of which is called ‘Ruby’s’ Gifts and Interiors in Driffield and another shop called Homebird House in Scarborough (pictured below).

 

Homebird House at 4 St Helen’s Square Scarborough is a new business and has only been open for seven weeks but it is already established and well worth a look. The whole shop is like a little wonderland paradise with all sorts of visual treats and goodies that would be ideal for any one’s home or as a little gift. I love it and I am very proud to be selling my products there! 

And finally all my products can be purchased from my website: www.leannebroadbent.com and at the moment all Limited Edition Prints are exempt from Postage and Packaging! So go on it would make a lovely Christmas Gift!
