Don't forget you can catch The Black Rabbit at Brighton Open House every weekend until the end of May.

20 Quebec Street. Scroll down the page for more information. ]]> http://www.blackrabbitnews.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry110515-213144 2011-05-15T00:00:00Z 2011-05-15T00:00:00Z Again this will be at 20 Quebec Street, Hanover, Brighton, BN2 9UZ. The house opens Saturday and Sunday 11am-6pm and is on the Hanover Art Trail (HA8).
Although the house looks tiny from the front it's much more spacious inside and has some amazing artists and designers and some especially amazing cakes. There is a beautiful sculpture garden in which to enjoy them too!
The Black Rabbit will have lots of lovely things for sale from the current collection and a few old season bargains as well. Hope to see you there.

I'm still wading through all the orders we took in New York for shops over there, and already really looking forward to the Brighton Open House in May. The Black Rabbit will be at 20 Quebec Street again so do pop by if you are on the trail.
For wholesale customers, I know it's a long way off, but lots of exciting things are in progress for Top Drawer Autumn in mid September.
Finally, please don't forget that regular updates are available on Facebook at Twitter (links in the side bar of this page).
Many thanks
Lindsay

I don't normally do charity requests with The Black Rabbit, but this one as you will read is very special.

Nigel and Paula Bongers are running the Rome Marathon on March 20th 2011, with sponsorship received in aid of Helen House Hospice, Oxford.

They lost their wonderful daughter Ellie Bongers just over a year ago, in a car crash and her son Joseph a few months later as a result of the same accident. He was lovingly cared for at Helen House for that time.

Ellie was my oldest and closest friend since childhood and I miss her more than I can say here. I'd like as many people as possible to support Paula and Nigel in this amazing venture.

You can make a secure online donation using your credit or debit card. Click on the link below:
http://my.artezglobal.com/personalPage.aspx?SID=297252

By contributing on line and ticking 'Gift Aid' this provides more funds to the hospice.

The Black Rabbit will be sponsoring them with 10% of all retail sales in February so you will be donating if you buy!

You can find out more about the work that Helen & Douglas House do with children and young adults with life-limiting conditions at their website - helen house

Do not forget to predict Nigel’s finishing time in Hrs, Minutes & Seconds on the website as there is a bottle of champagne for the nearest time (apparently Nigel is very slow!).

Thank you

Lindsay xx

Beth, Rosie, Charlie and I had a great time meeting our wholesale customers at Top Drawer Autumn. It was a really good show and I was very pleased with the response to our new display and all the products I have been developing over this year.
You can see a little prview in the images above, and it will all be added to the website quite soon. The Autumn stripe was very well received as was the new range of purses and wash bags in my birds print. There are lots more too, I look forward to telling you all about it!

Just over a week to go before Top Drawer Autumn and the new Black Rabbit collection is taking shape. I'm really looking forward to showing wholesale customers all the new products that I have been working hard on - especially the new bird printed fabric accessories, Christmas decorations and printed paper ranges which include writing paper and more badge cards.
I also have a lovely new knitted stripe called Autumn stripe which has pale green, marl brown and pale blue combined with rich yellow, fuchsia and warm violet.
The Black Rabbit is at stand B107.
All the new products will be available on the web site quite soon after the show. I'll send updates via Facebook and Twitter so please do join up if you'd like to know when they appear (see the links in the righthand menu).]]> http://www.blackrabbitnews.co.uk/index.php?entry=entry100902-211900 2010-09-02T00:00:00Z 2010-09-02T00:00:00Z
