This is our 13th Christmas in business here in Lincoln and we have some beautiful products in the shop this year including giant paper baubles from Pulp to delightful jewellery ranges Amanda Coleman, Angela Ibbs, Leigh Shepherd, Elly Mental, Ashi Marwaha and a host of other talented designer makers.



I am currently working on some new ideas to take down the Top Drawer in London which is quite soon after Christmas, mid January in fact so work does not really stop for me, maybe just a few days off over Christmas.

We have expanded our jewellery collections here at Midas with the introduction of a large new showcase which holds a great number of new makers and some firm favorites.

We All wish you a peaceful Christmas and a happy new year from all of us at Midas!!

These two ranges have been selling really well for me over the past year and seem to have a wide appeal which is great!  I use vintage maps and antique sheet music allowing every piece i make to be totally unique and original.

But its a new year now and I have already visited two major trade fairs; Top Drawer in  London and Spring Fair in Birmingham and both were very fruitful.. I have bought in new ranges for spring/summer at the shop including new cards and wrapping paper from Roger La Borde who do a delightful collection of cards by Rob Ryan which will compliment our stock from Wild and Wolf of Robs work that includes his plates, mugs, egg cups, travel bags and purses etc, whas not to love??

We also have the return of jewellery from Watch this space who make brightly coloured resin pieces at a very good price.  I am trying to get back to my roots with the shop and have begun to show many more individual makers designers work including jewellery by Amanda Coleman, Ashi Marwaha and Adele Taylor.  I introduced these makers before Christmas and so far the response has been brilliant.  I think alot of people are looking for something unique, hand made and British but at affordable prices and its my aim to provide them on the Bailgate in Lincoln.  So next time you are in town why not take time to come and pay us a visit and simply be delighted at all the wonderful work we have in at the moment.
