Check out our new Shruti Storage Cubes – perfect for summer days on the beach! The cubes fold flat for easy storage, have a small zipped pocket inside for small things and have reinforced sides to keep them durable. I was on holiday with the family in Devon recently and found them perfect for throwing all the beach kit in – towels, suncream, a good book, as well as the all important buckets and spades! I just need to get matching towels now..
A few weekends ago, Michaela and Graham spent the day selling Shruti at the West Dean Chilli Festival! The weather was nearly as hot as the chillies on sale, and our chilli products proved very popular, there were even a few customers from last year wandering round with their Shruti chilli shopping bags! An interesting day out where you can sample lots of chilli products and buy the plants to take home with you.
Take a look at these! Our new storage cubes are proving to be very popular, and available in a wide range of designs suitable for knitting, sewing, toys, on the beach, picnic..or even storing toilet rolls in the bathroom.
They have a removable base so they can be stored flat, and reinforced sides for durability. Great for throwing things in to keep the house tidy…and they look great too…available to buy from our website, we are adding the new designs very soon. Buy whilst stocks last…they are selling very quickly.
Well what a difference from Tatton Park – the Royal Bath and West Show held near Bath. Our stand was next to last years ‘Dragons Den’ finalist and between the candy floss and cider tents! And lots of lovely, sunny weather!
…our very glamorous stand at Tatton Park Design Weekend held in Cheshire recently…lots of WAGS and V Beckham lookalikes, plenty of big hair, massive sunglasses and champers were orders of the day!
Shruti is off to the NEC to sell our wares at the BBC Gardener’s World Live show. Last year’s was great for celebrity spotting so more of the same would be fun – as well as selling lots of Shruti stuff of course!
Last week Shruti had a stand at the Home & Gardens event – Spirit of Summer at Olympia, London. The show was busy from start to finish, with lots of lovely ladies (and the occasional man!) shopping like crazy for gorgeous homewares, gifts, clothes and lovely treats. Our stand was buzzing with people, and our best sellers were throws and sewing boxes, with some really good comments about the range and our products.
Ladies were draping themselves with our cable knit angora throws, perfect for their summer barbecues or out on the boat with hubby!
Up and coming shows include the Bath & West Show (26th-30th May) and BBC Gardeners World show at the NEC (8th-14th June) where you may even get to spot Alan or Monty! so come along and join in the summer fun – we’ll have lots of special offers that aren’t available anywhere else!
Here are just a few pics from the Country Living Show last week! The place was really buzzing with lots of customers – the star of the Shruti show was our Steel Grey Cable Knit Throw (T2C) as modeled above – seems the interiors trend for grey is still very big! The delightful Fern Britton even stopped by at the stand which was a lovely surprise..not telling you what she bough tho’.
And don’t these two look snug wrapped up in their throws? Ed x
The Country Living Spring Fair starts on Wednesday, so we are setting up the stand and preparing for what will hopefully be a busy show. It’s always a great day out with some really inspiring suppliers and stalls to shop from. Just don’t forget your cheque books as you always want to spend more than you thought! For the Country Living website go to: www.countrylivingfair.com or follow the link on the right hand side under ‘blogroll’.
Hope to see you there..? x
not sure who these two are - but they look fab! Love the matching dummy too – maybe a new accessory idea for Shruti?! Check out Graham in the background.
First to feature in our ‘whose wearing our stuff’ article is John Stacey – Graham’s brother in law! As you can see John is cooking up a treat wearing our ‘Jack’ apron! Send us any pics you have of friends or family wearing our products and we’ll feature them on our blog!
