2010 E17 Calendar!

Beautiful Interiors is happy to announce that the E17 2010 Calendar is now in stock!
A new artwork for your wall each month and an ideal stocking filler – The Walthamstow
Calendar is an initiative coordinated by Penny Fielding and features 12 new images
from all over Walthamstow.
Each month carries an image donated by a local artist or resident; they are a diverse
range of photographs, drawings and digital prints.

“By buying this calendar you are supporting your local arts community in a multitude of ways” Penny Fielding.

The whole community was invited to enter images into an exhibition held at Beautiful
Interiors as part of the 2009 E17 Art Trail before the final 12 were selected for use in the calendar.

The calendars are on on sale now in Beautiful Interiors in the Walthamstow Village and Images in Frames on Wood Street.

We are inviting inspired residents and local artists to submit images and artworks for the 2011 calendar,
capturing moments from 2010 as the year goes by. For more information on the E17 Art Trail and calendar, see the Art Trail
website: www.e17arttrail.co.uk

The Calendar retails at £8.50 and proceeds go to the E17 Art Trail!
Thank you all that kindly submitted their work.

Recycled gifts!

We love recycling and these little beauties have just come in from Two's Company! A selection of great recycled gifts to suit all tastes and budgets from note books to mirrors. We think they'll be a huge hit with our lovely shoppers.
So for a green Christmas these are the perfect present for your eco warrior or even for yourself...there's nothing wrong in getting yourself a little something and the best thing is because they are RECYCLED you're conscious will be a little bit lighter.
OK... You've bought something for yourself which can be seen as a tiny bit naughty but you've also been kind to the world which we think deserves a pat on the back. It's what I call guilt free shopping!

Going to the dogs...

GOING TO THE DOGS is the exhibition by talented local photographer Katherine Green. Much to the dismay and heartache of local people this listed art deco building was closed earlier this year...Gone to the Dogs! Literally.
Loved and respected by many this venue for dog racing,socializing and a good old punt was one of the last of its kind in London!
To coincide with the Exhibition at the Vestry House Museum Katherine will also be showing some of her work in Beautiful Interiors. We've also invited to show along side Katherine's work a few other local artists: Brigit Collins, Ellen jones, Alice Mara, Sonja Read and Stuart Reid.
The show will be on from Saturday the 26th of September to 27th November.
On sale will be a selection of Walthamstow Dog Stadium related work from jewellery, photographs, prints to a beautiful book which is filled with Katherine's inimitable style of photography of the stadium, its people and its last few days!

LEARN WHAT DREAMS ARE AND HOW THEY WORK
An introductory course of three sessions at
the Ancient House, Church Lane,

Learn what dreams are and how they work; understand and appreciate your dreams in a relaxing, supportive, beautiful environment. Each session will include a two-hour study of a participant’s dream, using the Montague Ullman method.

The foundation of the Ullman process is that the dreamer is the only expert on their dream; no one can ‘interpret’ it for them, they are not obliged to reveal anything, and everything said in the group is confidential. This makes it completely safe.
Cost: £60 total for the course: pre-booking is essential.
The course will be led by Heather Peace. For further details ask
in Penny Fielding Beautiful Interiors, Orford Road, E17 9NJ
