Joanna Couplands bird fairy lights are becoming very famous! Here they are in Good Housekeeping Magazine. They are in a special edition of the magazine that is only available to buy in the North East. Click on the image to see a close up! Her birds are flying out of the door. Everythime she sends some over they are quickly snapped up! Glad they are going off to good homes to add some cheer and sparkle!

This very beautiful set of Heirloom lights by York designer/maker Louise Traill arrived today. It's particularly lovely....I know....I always say that though each time a new set comes in. This one has very soft colours when the lights are off and a lovely warm glow when they're on. Ahhhh! Soon Louise is going to make us some of her 'Carnival' shades too. I'm looking forward to them...
We got some gorgeous multicoloured paper lanterns today. They come with either 20 lanterns or 35. They are such bright warm colours and I am certainly taking home a set to brighten up my kitchen!

They would make a great gift as they are beautifully packaged. They come in a box with a clear window and this is what they look like through the window! Here they are on the website.

The clocks will change soon and the dark Winter months are settling in but Radiance is staying sunny and bright ALL winter! I have just got some of these gorgeous bright and sunshiney lampshades in. I haven't see them in real life yet. They arrived in a big heavy box this morning and I'm looking forward to unpacking them. Hopefully I'll be able to have a look tomorrow.Just a reminder about the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair which opens to the public on Friday. I went and set up my stand today and am looking forward to the preview tomorrow evening. Hope that some of you might come along....


It is with great happiness that I announce the return of Louise Traill's marvellous fairy lights. Louise has been unable to make them for a while and has been sorely missed but now she is BACK and the first two sets from her new batch arrived this morning. Each shade is lovingly made by hand from beautiful papers, beads, buttons, sequins and whatever pretty things Louise can lay her hands on. Every set is different but the ones that we have in at the moment are a mix of pretty pastel colours. Gorgeous!

We've displayed Joanna Couplands creative Fruit and Vegetable fairy lights in a basket. They look really cute. I love that radish!

I had great fun this afternoon photographing these new handmade bird fairy lights by Joanna Coupland. In fact it was one of those moments when you realise how happy you are and think 'I am so lucky, this is my JOB', to sit little bird lights in a tree and make them look pretty! Ah! :)Each one of them has it's own unique character. Thay are adorned with glitter , beads and sequins and all have colourful flowers on their little heads. There are twenty lights all together, ten are birds and ten are little pods.
