New Decorations Section
As we won't be able to attend any Christmas Fairs this year due to COVID19 restrictions. we have decided to add some of our origami decorations to the site for your tree decking pleasure. They are based on traditional water bomd designs and are made from vintage and recycled papers. We had added a brand new section to our site and will be adding new variations over the next few weeks.

We've teamed up again with our friend Roger Newbrook and are now able to offer some of his enigmatic Urban Fragments images as limited edition photographic prints. They look lovely and at £30 each, we think they're a bargain too! You can find them over here...

The day is especially tailored for new card publishers like me with a chocka block full itinerary of guest speakers from around the world and across the business sector, from agents and distributors to established publishers and retailers.
