Changing Your Life
irish studded mirror
Hi there!!
 
I don't want to preach or say what I'm doing is right...what I just want to tell you is that if you have a dream or want to change your life because you are unhappy, plan and make the changes.
I'd taught languages for 21 years and had become thoroughly uninspired. I wanted to have a more flexible life and create something for myself. It has not been easy. I started selling antiques and now I offer a whole range of product. I have read a lot, researched a lot, worked day and night even done more academic study but it's worth it. If you are fed up and want to chat, call me or email
 
Exciting plans for Active and its customers. Scouting for artistic talent
irish studded mirror
Art is all about personal taste it is true. Contemporary art I feel is sometimes a case of The Emporer's New Clothes. Who will actually dare to say that acclaimed artists who win prestigious prizes produce a load of rubbish? Whether such artists do or not is up for debate. What is not up for debate is that we plan to feature new and exciting artists on our website. You will be able to purchase their work. We shall be sourcing art from across the UK which is impacting, accessible and would look stunning in period or contemporary homes. Our first artist is a talented illustrator and painter and is straight out of university. The painting above is called Dordogne.........watch that space. Her identity and work will be revealed in the autumn!!!!!!

CharlotteThanks to all of our 200 visitors who helped raise £178.00 for Thorpe Hall a Sue Ryder Care Hospice in Peterborough. During the first 3 weekends of July we held our annual Art Antiques and Interiors Exhibition as part of the Peterborough Artists' Open Studios and charged £1 entry which was directly donated to this chosen charity. If you couldn't make it or are curious, click on the photo of Charlotte my daughter and you can see more photos and details about the exhibitors and their work. We had a wonderful Pimms evening to open the exhibition and then offered coffee and home made cakes for the public event. Tell me what you think.
