Analogue or Digital?

2013-09-28T20:23:00.002+01:00

Preperation for 2014 christmas has started already. So let me introduce you to my latest product.

The retro tv frame connects the wooden analogue style of yesteryears with digital technology for todays users.

A solid oak retro TV frame, to hold your ipad 2.

This original gift for ipad owners and TV fans is beautifully crafted in solid oak.

The Retro TV ipad frame is a quirky, nostalgic design and will be the envy of any gadget lover. The chunky solid oak sleeve is a mutlifunctional piece. It holds your ipad and allows you to view your favourite online entertainment, it can also be used as an ipad photo frame or it can simply be a safe place to store your ipad.

This ipad frame would be the perfect accompanying gift for anyone receiving an ipad this Christmas and for anyone who already owns an ipad.

It has two keyholes neatly cut from the back, allowing the frame to be completely wall mountable, but it also works as a free standing frame, on a mantle piece for example.

Currently available for the ipad 2, but will also be available for the ipad mini

Made from:

Solid locally sourced oak, and finished with natural oils.

The weather in Northamptonshire over the last week has been really bad. So in times of snow, there are only so many things you can do.....for example...my snowman.

Originally, it was going to be my wife and my little girl, Eva making the snowman......but Eva just wanted to watch daddy from the window.

Notonthehighstreet.com Handmade Product Of The Year

2012-07-05T20:01:00.002+01:00

I am so pleased and thrilled to say that 2 weeks ago I won the Notonthehighstreet.com Handmade Product Of The Year 2012 for my Hot Stuff Trivet.

The awards took place at Syon Park in London, and was a great opportunity to meet not only the amazingly talented Notonthehighstreet.com team, but also 400 partners who also sell through this fantastic website.

At the awards, there was many speakers, all of which had great experience in their field and fed us very useful information.

My Favourite part of the day was the amazing lunch, which i pigged out on.

Then came the awards, and myself and my wife, Lindsay Day who also has a shop on Notonthehighstreet.com, called Evajeanie were short listed in two different categories.

Unfortunately, Lindsay was only placed in the top 3, and i had convinced myself that I hadn't won.

But what I thought was from out of nowhere, my name was called out as the winner of the Handmade Product Of The Year and I felt so proud.
