Images of a Fair Ground...

Beautiful Interiors proudly presents an exhibition of photographic works by Max Bainbridge.

"This set of work was made in Hartlepool.The subject was the fair ground on the Headland.
I was interested in photographing these isolated structures, the darkness of the sky giving
them a strange luminosity.
When photographing them it was very important to me that they be photographed on their own,
taking away any sense of nostalgia or romanticism and concentrating on more formal elements."

The 3 week exhibition opens on Friday the 14th of May and is on until the 4th of June.

We'll be open later then usual this Friday the 14th of May until 9pm for the openning and
also to launch our WEEKEND FLASH SALE!
Lots of items have been reduced so come have a look. Sale ends Sunday at 6pm.

And a bit of news regarding opening/closing times...
From June we'll be closed on Mondays and the rest remain as is.

Craft Market season kicks off Saturday 29th of May!

I can't quite believe it's only a month away for the Craft Guerrilla markets to begin. Hosted in our lovely garden this grass roots collective offers our shoppers the chance to buy something original and fresh. Apart from great art and craft there's also the welcome return of Handsome Betty and her delectable cakes. She's teaming up with Karen aka Creme Anglaise to bake wonderful cakes for all you sweet people. From super cute cup cakes to vintage inspired cakes these two bakerettes know a thing or two about temptation! Join them at their "let them eat cake" sugary sweet bar.
So whether you're looking for great design, urban craft, art, a slice of cake or just a peep at what's happening in the garden we'd love to see you!
Fun begins at 10 am to 5.30pm in the shop garden. Free entry and free refreshments.

we're back...

You might have noticed the lack of posts but we're back now! Nothing sinister or horrid but just because the computer was lifted from the shop so blogging fell to the way side while we were doing other important stuff like...stock taking, sorting out our mailing list and trying to fill the gaps from the lost data.
Anyway here we are again!

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.
