What a year! 2023: Our year wrapped up

Wow! 2023 has certainly been a whirlwind of 12 months. Mark and I can’t believe how much we have crammed into one year. 

January

2023 started with a bang with a photoshoot for our Christmas Widdop gift and homeware collection. Extending the Christmas vibes with colourful trees and table settings at the amazing @thehouseupstairs. We then went straight into trade show mode with our DIY and paint brush skills setting up our brightest stand to date. Where we won another Paper Award for our 3D collection ‘Keepsakes’.

February

This month was a super busy month with lots of orders leaving the warehouse and being sent around the world. It was also our second show of the year in Birmingham where we showcased our Christmas Widdop line to trade for a little sneak peek before it launched later in the year.
