I was in Lanzarote last week, a place where a the sun never seem to stop shinning. I was there for some last minute sun before I submit fully to our long winter months!

Whilst there I visited the house of Lanzarote's most famous artist, Cesar Manrique, he used colour and shape to their best advantage in the dark and moon-like landscape of the island. He was a great pioneer in keeping the island from becoming a high-rise tourist center, he reasoned with the government to preserve the island's natural beauty, believe that it was a major draw in itself, he was of course right.

Photos taken at his home, Casa del Campesino, which is built in the natural bubbles created in the lava flow. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself on the island.

Sally and Dave from the brilliant and witty named website To Dry For (if you haven't guessed it, it's a tea towel focused site) have been so kind in introducing 3 of my tea towels into their outstanding range...i'm ever so pleased to be on their pages!

I've just added a whole load more photos of my new stuff to my flickr account....check it out!!

I went to Harrogate to set up today for the Home and Gift show which takes place from Sunday 18th until Wednesday 21st. I will be exhibiting there on stand E50, launching my new range which you can view on the blog Lizzie Prestt Trade - see link under links bit to the right of this.

Couldn't be more nervous but am pretty excited too, I'm rolling with the big boys now!

The BUST fair was a success although the weather was so amazing that it was actually too hot, and all people really wanted to be doing was lying in a swimming pool drinking cocktails, not drooling over all the lovely wares on offer but when all is said and done, i did have a lovely time!
