Lincolnshire and its neighbours are set to experience a wave of early festive cheer at award-winning local illustrator, Katie Cardew Illustrations’, special Christmas open studios in Kings Cliffe on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 November.
Adding a hint of extra magic to the events, Katie will launch her new Winter Hare range over the weekend, with guests enjoying priority access to the stunning new items, as well as back-in-stock bestsellers from 2019.
With a bigger than ever range of prints, gifts and homewares, from stocking fillers to under-the-tree winners, Katie’s team have been busy preparing the studio to welcome guests of all ages and start the countdown to Christmas.
And with Katie due her own special delivery in mid-November, this will be one of the last chances to shop with the lady herself. Katie says: “Christmas is always one of our favourite times of the year, and it’s even more special this year with the launch of our new Winter Hare range. We can’t wait to welcome friends, family and little ones to enjoy some Katie Cardew Christmas magic before our newest addition to the team arrives!”
Shopping locally and buying British has never been higher on the agenda and with Katie’s products designed and made in the UK, packaged minimally and made from sustainable materials, this is Christmas shopping with the feel-good factor.
The open studios will be a fantastic chance to get the Christmas shopping done with a mince pie and mulled wine, and the team will be on-hand to make sure the shoppers get help ticking off their Christmas wish lists.
