A Top Time At Top Drawer...

It took months of planning, 2 days to set up but after 3 days of trade show craziness, Top Drawer Spring was all over.

Well, what can I say about Rosie & Radish's first Top Drawer experience?! It was hectic, exhausting and so much fun. We loved it!

Freezing at a ridiculously early hour at Central Station!

Despite a very early start at the freezing cold Central Station in Newcastle, we arrived at the London Olympia full of beans and couldn't wait to put our grand plan for our 3m x 1m stand in action.  Even a ripped leather jacket, paint splattered brogues and 2 emergency trips to a paint and DIY shop couldn't keep us down and soon our little stand started to take shape…

A casualty of the show - Helen's beloved leather jacket didn't make it back home in one piece :(

The spirit level was put to good use!

Even though we are relative newcomers to the greetings industry, we are still taken aback by how friendly everyone is and we were very lucky to be placed in the middle of some super talented and lovely folk. There was Yasmin from YTR Designs, Jessica Hogarth, Dandelion, Lucky Lychee, Noi Publishing and Kimono Rabbit.

An arty panoramic shot to show our stand.

First day of the actual show - very excited!

Once the doors opened it, the hours flew by and it was brilliant to meet lots of new stockists aswell as catching up with existing stockists and familiar faces. Our new ranges 'Loud Mouse' and 'Scruff' went down a storm and the 'Daydreamer Numbers' and new additions to the 'Scribbles' range proved popular too. Here's the bestsellers...

If you didn't make it to the show but would like a copy of our new catalogue then just get in touch and we will post one out so you don't miss out ;)

2 days to put up and 2 mints to take down.

It was all too much for little Radish - he slept all they way back to Newcastle!

Wooly Blue

We were chuffed to bits when one of our favourite North East gift shops, Wooly Blue, contacted us to buy some of our cards. The lovely Karen from Wooly Blue in Jesmond, took over the shop at the end of last year and has been a busy bee buying new stock and getting the shop looking tip top!

Wooly Blue is part of a lovely strip of shops on Brentwood Avenue in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Our cards now sit pride of place in a newly opened back room of the shop which is dedicated to children. 

Our little Clever Clogs has also managed to find his way into the Congratulations section of the shop ...

And Together Forever is right at home nestled amongst the lovey dovey wedding cards!

The shop has a wonderful selection of cards (aside from ours!) and is full of goodies and gifts for people of all ages. Here are a few of our favourite finds ...

We love these typography inspired bags from Alphabet Bags

These pencil cases from Caroline Gardner will definitely brighten your day. 

They are bright, colourful and gorgeously soft. These blankets from Avoco are right up our street!

We LOVE Newcastle!

And we also love the greeting cards from Lynda loves especially this one ...

If you live near Jesmond get yourself along to Wooly Blue to check out their wonderful cards and gifts.  The super friendly staff will look after you and with so many lovely things to buy we're sure you won't leave empty handed!

Love Amy Xx

Sneaky Peek: 'Daydreamer' Designs...

Okay, so we might have been just a teeny bit giddy in the last post about the up and coming Progressive Greetings show but reality has now well and truly sunk in...

Panic? Us two? Never!

(Well maybe just a tiny bit - ahem).

So we have been pretty quiet on here of late and the reason behind that is the fact that we have been busy working up our three lovely ranges.

Right from the very start of our Rosie and Radish adventure Amy and I have been really keen to work up a range that allows us to embrace our love of vintage print, whimsical illustration, pastel shades, ditsy florals, and swirly typefaces. Our 'Daydreamer' designs have been created with all of that in mind...

We hope you like them!
