Personally, I find the whole concept of Black Friday rather depressing. It sounds so bleak and sapped of life. And actually if you look into the history, it's not that great... Many people think it refers to the day that shop keepers go into the black (- showing profit as opposed to being in the red financially), but it actually refers to the black days of financial crashes and references a day marked by disaster or misfortune. According to <a href="https://www.dictionary.com/e/black-friday/">Dictionary.com</a> it was first used by factory managers in the 1950s to describe the Friday after Thanksgiving because so many of their workers decided to call in sick, thus extending the holiday. The article goes on to say:</span></p><p><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(74, 74, 74); text-size-adjust: auto;">"About 10 years later,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(74, 74, 74); margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;">Black Friday</span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(74, 74, 74); text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>was used by Philadelphia traffic cops to describe the day after Thanksgiving because they had to work 12-hour shifts in terrible traffic. Visitors flocked to the city to start their holiday shopping and, sometimes this popular shopping day coincided with the annual Army–Navy football game. The term caught on among shoppers and merchants in Philadelphia, and from there it took off nationwide".</span> - Dictionary.com</span></i></p><span style="background-color: white; text-size-adjust: auto;"><div style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-size-adjust: auto;">So although it's coined in a tongue-in-cheek sort of way I still think it's a bit depressing.

As a designer I choose the colour every time! </span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); text-size-adjust: auto;">I'm also very aware that people don't have a lot of money right now, so although I am providing some offers to help you to buy what you want, I will not be doing any big flashy sales this year.

But at Christmas I think independents really come into their own. The stores are beautifully decorated, the gift stalls are fabulously festive and there is always a warm welcome! They've been adding to the loveliness all year... It's just really special and I know they are waiting for you to pop along and give them their time to shine!<p></p><p>Today is my absolute favourite day of Just A Card Indie Week, because it's the day I get to shout about my favourite independent businesses! All of these designers, makers and independent stores are doing an incredible job of enriching our lives through creativity and / or community. This year I've decided to focus on independents who are local to me. I've created a little paragraph about each, but please take a look at their shops and social media to find out more. You might just find some fabulous Christmas gift ideas... </p><p><u><b>Little Red Craft Room</b></u></p><p><u></u></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGpThGvaOmePjR13GdrZ-GB8EO-2XwzlFkvKR1K36joOPQhXzRQTinZQat8Bitun7fqLonOWIaA9ke2z6j8HMvtYnbzG5pQ4hqrBfuxrVs0iT04lsm63swLqwevsSxbYbzr98b5DoK88WJCL4kD8nX-ZO6mElwxDLIRzkmbuDQ4-FVxY_Qq5Lbe472/s800/Little-Red-Craft-Room.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

The result is a truly delicious selection of jam, which makes a lovely gift that can be enjoyed at any time of year. <br /><a href="http://www.craftedpreserves.co.uk">www.craftedpreserves.co.uk<br /></a>Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057353534266" target="_blank">Crafted Preserves</a> </span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></div><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Country Kate</u></b></span></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeepfe1kJ0Hhmr4okquFRAk_2di9DEIZV_Ct_S-kNINQDWW7pGmeLKCXXUDEi7qYbrTmI1PULON55R_ZrC83oEWSpqTOvS5fGSE4qWokXSeWG--0mSvVhfA18IrRyUe4zU0FdekF8kmi-trNsvvLUNQiwr7cNwHvwCN3dBjEd8CsvvMQVuipee6Ut/s800/Country-Kate-2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggeepfe1kJ0Hhmr4okquFRAk_2di9DEIZV_Ct_S-kNINQDWW7pGmeLKCXXUDEi7qYbrTmI1PULON55R_ZrC83oEWSpqTOvS5fGSE4qWokXSeWG--0mSvVhfA18IrRyUe4zU0FdekF8kmi-trNsvvLUNQiwr7cNwHvwCN3dBjEd8CsvvMQVuipee6Ut/s320/Country-Kate-2.png" width="320" /></a></div><b><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Copyright Country Kate</span></i></b></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span face="Assistant, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 0.6px; text-align: start;">Country Kate is an independent gift shop, based within the charming village of Kinver. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Kate has always had a love for arts, crafts and the countryside. She studied art and textiles, which inevitably led her to set up 'Country Kate' in 2015. She began by making all the items by hand, but soon realised that she couldn't keep up with customer demand. Now she supports a huge number of British craft businesses, selling products from her treasure trove shop! All items are sourced because of their handmade nature, and to support small independent businesses. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to work with Kate to create a bespoke illustration, which acts as a shopfront for her newly revamped online store. </span></div><p></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjal4HeBbo9XPdKM4G9EAUZewir-SeQAbiuOg2Bps9gwTqI9BYPkDFc3HdG61tdxUvU7SXxx60mjLH2D2NxfRoD6Hu0WyrljFzW-3V9yHFbftp7ljR6Ed5bmxg557Ldl56GsrZS3HncL-KldHzLj7Akcxk0RTwiM1pjSCrP4_NYFwUfPBb4AHvO58Vh/s1000/Country-Kate.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="442" data-original-width="1000" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjal4HeBbo9XPdKM4G9EAUZewir-SeQAbiuOg2Bps9gwTqI9BYPkDFc3HdG61tdxUvU7SXxx60mjLH2D2NxfRoD6Hu0WyrljFzW-3V9yHFbftp7ljR6Ed5bmxg557Ldl56GsrZS3HncL-KldHzLj7Akcxk0RTwiM1pjSCrP4_NYFwUfPBb4AHvO58Vh/w640-h282/Country-Kate.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Copyright Country Kate</span></i></b></div>Pop over to the Country Kate website to see a super-cute animated version of this illustration - and shop all of the lovely products at Country Kate!

The name Webbs came to stand for unwavering quality and soon led to becoming royally appointed seedsmen to the Queen. Now the dedicated team at Webbs continue the story in their three award-winning garden centres - in Wychbold, West Hagley & Cheltenham and by offering the same high standards to customers across the UK through online shopping. As an independent family company Webbs offers help, advice and most of all great quality. I'm very grateful to Webbs for their support of my licensed products over the years, previously stocking my entire 'Sand Dunes' gift collection (in collaboration with Widdop) and today stocking a selection of my <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.blogspot.com/2022/10/new-licensed-mug-collection-vicky-yorke.html" target="_blank">mug collection</a> made in collaboration with <a href="https://www.captivatebrands.com/" target="_blank">Captivate Brands. </a> As well as beautiful garden centres, gift shops and cafes, Webbs also host seasonal events, such as The Enchanted Gardens and Hygge Dining Igloos (pictured), which are open this Christmas. I actually went to both last year and would highly recommend for a really festive experience. Check out the Webbs website and social media for more information. </span></div><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTWAQqt_WmeKCEbDRmxmyJcXxEI6jhvIPNPLxl53Tz4D6juOfu8W6Gj-TO7LDPGdjxCdMPtTj8VVuwmL9-Nznx08sK51bKwN9XIkDIjqTr_dAaHUpA4fuK_qAmFDC48gQ-pEDnSvsPzNhXF6enZAMq7tF7iiPpV0qvQkCNs0onxvd5VLhyalpN1y2/s1370/Screenshot%202022-11-23%20at%2010.59.20.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1370" data-original-width="1337" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyTWAQqt_WmeKCEbDRmxmyJcXxEI6jhvIPNPLxl53Tz4D6juOfu8W6Gj-TO7LDPGdjxCdMPtTj8VVuwmL9-Nznx08sK51bKwN9XIkDIjqTr_dAaHUpA4fuK_qAmFDC48gQ-pEDnSvsPzNhXF6enZAMq7tF7iiPpV0qvQkCNs0onxvd5VLhyalpN1y2/s320/Screenshot%202022-11-23%20at%2010.59.20.png" width="312" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Me and my 'Sand Dunes' gift collection in a Webbs garden centre</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3focZRY_kcyW7hJ67LQXNG4-ciSCIU7i7-J5cgVus1ax0x0L3n2pwMc2fEnFXIinmNuPGbCat89tOXJeCCKxGRZMb-2dwnJqZDau_SI4iPXgtoGJTg7UGP-cMWD84iyOy0-679dDwj0j46qxKIQBocuN-I3xiMXhEPiba2qu9V3JlPsjj-i1s0Ko9/s2048/Siip%20Mugs%20in%20store%206.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3focZRY_kcyW7hJ67LQXNG4-ciSCIU7i7-J5cgVus1ax0x0L3n2pwMc2fEnFXIinmNuPGbCat89tOXJeCCKxGRZMb-2dwnJqZDau_SI4iPXgtoGJTg7UGP-cMWD84iyOy0-679dDwj0j46qxKIQBocuN-I3xiMXhEPiba2qu9V3JlPsjj-i1s0Ko9/w300-h400/Siip%20Mugs%20in%20store%206.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">One of my mugs spotted in Webbs Garden Centre, West Hagley</span></i></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.webbsdirect.co.uk">www.webbsdirect.co.uk</a></span></div><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/webbsgc/" target="_blank">@webbsgc</a></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/webbsgardencentres">https://www.facebook.com/webbsgardencentres</a></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></p><p class="font_8" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; pointer-events: auto; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="text-align: left;">There are SO many amazing small businesses that I know I will have forgotten some really special ones... and for that I am truly sorry.

I would never say don't shop with the big stores - they absolutely have their own advantages and conveniences and I enjoy them as much as the next person. My message this week is don't forget about the little stores. We don't have the advertising budgets of the big stores and social media is no longer helping us to be found online - It's much harder for little stores to be seen and much easier for you just to forget about us, but if everyone who visited a little store (either in reality or online) brought 'Just A Card', our independents would be thriving!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8Z2ArRlPP325ppCzj3n8IqxwbOYYlxVp_NVHg4hklAnJqdi7GuxpqbNCzPiWj_ZR5UJVAnBcA_ThxRGvkBOtrDLyILHg7fons2PnnIbz4G9Y4dsgxo5MP4hQ9ZchAeDrc1WMDKGvNx0S6Jt2rtfnBCS6w6HxQFWi1i_gAeM_h_LWTZSVziwNQsY4/s1403/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.28.18.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1403" data-original-width="1403" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8Z2ArRlPP325ppCzj3n8IqxwbOYYlxVp_NVHg4hklAnJqdi7GuxpqbNCzPiWj_ZR5UJVAnBcA_ThxRGvkBOtrDLyILHg7fons2PnnIbz4G9Y4dsgxo5MP4hQ9ZchAeDrc1WMDKGvNx0S6Jt2rtfnBCS6w6HxQFWi1i_gAeM_h_LWTZSVziwNQsY4/w400-h400/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.28.18.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">"Buying from designers supports our creativity to do more of what we love, to make more of what you love."</span></i></div><p>The thing about the small stores is we create a unique service and experience because it's our own business and we really care. There's no corporate regime to follow, so we can do our own thing to make your experience interesting and memorable. Often small stores are about community - being at the heart of the town or village where they reside and creating a greater sense of well-being for all who live there. And independent designers like me create unique product to make the stores interesting. Unlike when I worked in-house, I don't have anyone telling me what I should be designing based on projected sales figures or a gap in their inventory and that gives me creative freedom to come up with designs that are completely original and different. Creative expression is so important in allowing the development of lovely designs that make you smile! Buying from designers supports our creativity to do more of what we love, to make more of what you love. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNJCh4RZ25-5zLyagP6N2PGpRaY1cJ39d5LDQ0iiHPbiQAON71hyTfqZMV7MGF0bF0Nw2_CVL4ZHNuLpCdtwud_Y3wV1cJg8S5fWaTRULU3xhIQFfb6VcnvYFiHdE-Lv6bWPqqmQ95KrrAJH_7Br3gs-hXxVH1UVggmloQ9u4JOBX0nAGtnFlmYO7/s1409/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.29.56.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1409" data-original-width="1407" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNJCh4RZ25-5zLyagP6N2PGpRaY1cJ39d5LDQ0iiHPbiQAON71hyTfqZMV7MGF0bF0Nw2_CVL4ZHNuLpCdtwud_Y3wV1cJg8S5fWaTRULU3xhIQFfb6VcnvYFiHdE-Lv6bWPqqmQ95KrrAJH_7Br3gs-hXxVH1UVggmloQ9u4JOBX0nAGtnFlmYO7/w400-h400/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.29.56.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Make me and other independents dance!</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">When someone buys from my small business, it honestly makes me so happy!

It is more expensive to run our businesses, while customers do not have lots of spare cash to spend on things they want rather than things they need. While I understand that many people will not be spending as much this Christmas, if you can, please consider shopping small for at least some of your purchases. <span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">When you shop independent, </span>the money also goes straight to the store owner, helping our businesses to grow and flourish. <span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-size: 14px;">Did you know that local businesses donate more money to charity and that research has shown that local businesses are more likely to spend with each other, as well as creating local jobs... so when you spend with an independent business in your area you are putting money back into your local economy and that benefits everyone? It's also often better for the environment to shop independent because indie businesses have a smaller carbon footprint than many larger companies meaning your purchases can be better for the planet.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1n5ztExr6e-Ot2IT2z2SekAY7WSoogSm5BnrPSxDUYsKmeYYEJ5BE0j0WPcugafyeg4vfbwleF-6ryu2qUSRDUuFvq8AtBVw_I1ewyOXRY9Ig2sxY5qy7BIHnOFFWNAxf35oiDA1QGFOwmWrjNY83c5MdHQ4BCmidUboobRkMI-4Mv1omwcmuClaS/s1402/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.26.39.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1402" data-original-width="1391" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1n5ztExr6e-Ot2IT2z2SekAY7WSoogSm5BnrPSxDUYsKmeYYEJ5BE0j0WPcugafyeg4vfbwleF-6ryu2qUSRDUuFvq8AtBVw_I1ewyOXRY9Ig2sxY5qy7BIHnOFFWNAxf35oiDA1QGFOwmWrjNY83c5MdHQ4BCmidUboobRkMI-4Mv1omwcmuClaS/w396-h400/Screenshot%202022-11-21%20at%2015.26.39.png" width="396" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Be a hero!

I really appreciated your response. I was, and remain, so grateful for your support during such a difficult period for me while I was shielding. Not only did it bring in much needed income, but it offered me a connection to the outside world as I chatted to customers and other store owners online. As the world, (including my own little shielding world), has opened back up I have found myself busier and busier with <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.com/pages/licensing" target="_blank">freelance projects and licensing</a> again, which is great because that’s the core of my business, but I’ve also found I’ve really been neglecting the shop this year, which makes me sad.

I will be telling you much more in an upcoming blog post and be sure to check out the <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.com/collections/new">NEW</a> section of my website this week for a sneaky first look! </p><p>Plus... Have you checked out my brand new <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.com/collections/made-to-order" style="text-decoration-line: underline;" target="_blank">Made to order</a> clothing yet? </p><p>I favour the made to order approach, because you can order through my website and the product will be made especially for you by one of my selected factory partners. This means I don’t have to hold as much stock, there is less environmental waste and you also get to support a variety of small British businesses when you order from me. Ethics is very important to me and I spend a lot of time researching quality products that I can bring to you as exclusives on my website that are affordable, but that are fairly made and sustainable. I have recently launched my everyday <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.com/collections/clothing" target="_blank">sweatshirts</a> and <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.com/collections/clothing/christmas-jumper" target="_blank">Christmas jumper / sweatshirts</a>, which are made in this way.

Please be aware that Royal Mail have put their prices up this year, but I have not. I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible for you, but the only negative comments I have ever received about my store were regarding P&P charges. </p><p>Please know I make nothing on postage and the cost is beyond my control. In fact there is sometimes now a big disparity between what I am charging you on the website and what I am being charged by Royal Mail. I don’t mind covering this for you as much as possible, but where the disparity is too great I may need to send some packages second class. Please bear this in mind when ordering for Christmas as after the first Royal Mail strike I had a batch of orders that took over two weeks to arrive when posted second class, so I am concerned what will happen with the <a href="https://www.royalmail.com/latest-news" target="_blank">strikes that are planned by Royal Mail</a> in the run up to Christmas. For all your Christmas shopping, (not just with me), I recommend looking to do it as early as possible and please, please continue to support small.</p><p>For those of you who are local to DY10 I continue to offer a local pick-up option from my home, or a local delivery service within 5 miles for in stock items. Please note that this is subject to availability and collection or drop-off times must be mutually agreed as this needs to be worked around my other commitments. Thank you for your understanding. </p><p><u>SUSTAINABILITY</u></p><p>I'm always looking at ways to be more sustainable. While some of my licensed products are produced overseas, I only sell items through my website that I believe are excellent quality and have been made ethically. I have chosen to stock these items because they are beautiful products that I hope you will enjoy at an affordable price. For the products I personally commission for the website, when not making myself, I purposefully seek out UK manufacturers who make locally in small batches, or to make to order. I look for manufacturers who focus on ethical practises and protecting the environment. You will find that the sweatshirts are sent out to you in large brown paper bags, with all packaging fully recyclable. I now also only send out parcels using eco-packaging, which includes paper-protective wrap, biodegradable bags, or card envelopes. When completely necessary (i.e. for ceramic items) I either use recycled bubble-wrap or reuse bubble wrap that has previously been sent to me. I always encourage you to keep your packaging and reuse it. The pocket mirror packaging is also reused and I think it makes a lovely little pouch to keep your mirror safe in your bag. I also use recycled and paper packaging tapes. It may not all look as pretty, but it's worth it if it helps the planet. For several reasons I am no longer gift-wrapping items in tissue paper - your items will arrive wrapped in standard eco-friendly packing. </p><p><u>PLEASE HELP!</u></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZm_eqY3bTj0IeQsVXABoZBIAEEubk9XN42fICH-BCSf5MMq69TpNL1fbdhdlz3BdU5YcO7S3B0S62sXLtKpsT_JgATXwKl1w5Qnd8-HyqNUDklwWYd14U5ws24OAllketcDckvf5DAarhUcba_Zaaewkr8MZ6eYcugT7rnVBZqVar4itxKNts7B8/s1240/Screenshot%202022-10-07%20at%2014.53.19.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="848" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZm_eqY3bTj0IeQsVXABoZBIAEEubk9XN42fICH-BCSf5MMq69TpNL1fbdhdlz3BdU5YcO7S3B0S62sXLtKpsT_JgATXwKl1w5Qnd8-HyqNUDklwWYd14U5ws24OAllketcDckvf5DAarhUcba_Zaaewkr8MZ6eYcugT7rnVBZqVar4itxKNts7B8/w438-h640/Screenshot%202022-10-07%20at%2014.53.19.png" width="438" /></a></div><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><p style="color: #050505; font-size: 15px;"><span face="system-ui, -apple-system, "system-ui", ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p>I have lots more product ideas to bring to you in 2023 if I can keep making the shop a success, while juggling it with my other work.

I'm not sure why I stopped writing, especially as I spent almost all of 2020 and 2021 essentially locked up at home shielding from the Covid-19 pandemic because I have Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia and that made me clinically extremely vulnerable. It was a tricky time and I had lots of time on my hands to write something, but I think instead I threw myself into the escapism of designing. Did you know my <a href="https://jewelbranding.artonomo.com/profile/vicky_yorke">licensing portfolio</a> now contains well in excess of 3500 pieces of art?! So my time during the pandemic was not entirely wasted! </p><p>I thought it was about time I got back to it, so in case you haven't been following me on <a href="http://instagram.com/vickyyorkedesigns" target="_blank">instagram</a> over this time, this is a little catch up blog to tell you what I've been up to since I last wrote. (Even if you do follow me, sometimes I forget to share stuff, so there might still be something you can learn below!) :-)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeepW06KvqE0kGZxTh3HWO9xSWG8YLAQ1c_0LRog26FTl9k4-CxZRmr3SJzBFuBaQgfXxEw_AJ0JVzgj4cpFqm015sl4FaWoTAh8SDg180aSzjHrW_825OwYbPhpufnPvlP1B0ZV-dSxmBiC4J9Gepd3qVjhyVSYxftEqW1UPRJ8c45Cf5MIgqTb6I/s2880/Screenshot%202022-10-05%20at%2014.58.51.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of my most exciting recent collaborations was the launch of my luggage collection with <a href="https://halina-madewithlove.com/collections/vicky-yorke" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Halina</span></b></a> at the end on 2018. To celebrate our partnership Halina are kindly currently giving away a Vicky Yorke Urban Jungle Cat carry-on case to one lucky winner in the USA or Europe. (<a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.blogspot.com/2019/05/competition-win-halina-vicky-yorke.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Find out more here.</b></span></a>) So I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to tell you a little more about the collection and my inspiration behind it!</span></div>

While I do like dogs, I am most definitely a cat lover and this collection was initially inspired by watching my beautiful kitty moving around our garden with the serenity and grace of her wild big cat relatives - Our garden is definitely her jungle! She got very involved in the drawing process too, rolling all over my paper as I sketched - I think this was her seal of approval!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After sketching out the cats I decided to draw some dogs to add balance to the collection. What you can't see here is that I originally drew hats and bow ties to adorn these pooches. I still love this idea, but decided as the collection progressed that the accessories might be too much for these patterns so I will bank that idea for another day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to use the flowers in my garden as inspiration for the 'jungle' around the cats and dogs, so also sketched these intricate and packed together floral motifs. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My husband is desperate for a dog and I’m sure it’s going to happen at some point... When we do get one it will be a Border Terrier because they are super-cute! (I love how they look really old even when they are puppies!) I like them so much I’ve included one in my dogs print. You can see him sketched in the top left-hand corner of the sketchbook page above and then fully coloured in the final print below. </span></span></div>

'Urban Jungle' is available in a number of different colourways, but I was delighted that Halina chose my original dark blue ground for the dogs and light blue ground for the cats!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: left;">This project has combined 3 of my absolute favourite things - cats, patterns and travel! I’m in love with the gold styling by Halina, which perfectly picks up on my original concept for this range ( - It's so great when a manufacturer is completely in tune with my design vision!) </span></div>

My second collection for Camelot launched in April. ‘<a href="http://camelotfabrics.com/designers/vicky-yorke/village-life.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Village Life</span></b></a>’ was inspired completely by the village where I live in Worcestershire, UK and as with all of my collections began with illustrations drawn in pen and ink of motifs that represent semi-rural life and the community here.<o:p></o:p></div>

a big statement typography print references the post office, the village store, the church, the bridle path, the canal, even our annual beer festival and more – basically it covers everything that makes this village a community and why I love living here so much. But the biggest reference to where I live is our iconic clock which stands in the village centre and was erected to celebrate the millennium – it’s a very important landmark for the village so it had to be included in the design! </div>

We have a lovely community in the village and this year the village took part in a national competition called ‘Britain In Bloom’, where lots of villagers got together to tidy up the village and to plant flowers and vegetables and just to make the village look as wonderful as possible. There was also a special reception for the judges and I was asked if some of my ‘Village Life’ fabric could be used for a table cloth as it depicts the community so well. </div>

The fabric isn’t in stores until October, so I had some especially made for the occasion with Amanda of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/horsefairvintage/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Horse Fair Vintage</span></b></a> designing these beautiful cloths combining ‘<a href="http://camelotfabrics.com/catalog/product/view/id/9987/s/village-life-in-multi/category/263/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Village Map in Multi</b></span></a>’ with ‘<a href="http://camelotfabrics.com/catalog/product/view/id/10018/s/blooms-in-yellow/category/263/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Blooms in yellow</span></b></a>’ and edged in a grey and white polka dot fabric from Amanda’s fabric stash. I think they look wonderful and hopefully they wowed the judges! ‘Village Life’ will be in stores in October.</div>

I am so delighted that my third collection for Camelot has just launched on their website! It’s called ‘<a href="http://camelotfabrics.com/designers/vicky-yorke/urban-jungle.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Urban Jungle</span></b></a>’ and features cats and dogs, as well as pretty meadow flowers! While I do like dogs I am most definitely a cat person and this collection was initially inspired by watching my beautiful kitty moving around our garden with the beauty and grace of her big cat relatives – Our garden is definitely her jungle! The collection has been recoloured to a very pretty and soft palette especially for Camelot and will hit stores March 2019! You can find out more about it <a href="https://vickyyorkedesigns.blogspot.com/2018/07/new-collection-camelot-fabrics-urban.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>here</b></span></a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">OK – time to be brave! The sewing machine is out! As this collection contains two Union Jack inspired prints, I have decided to make a reversible 1940’s style headscarf, a fashion that is very much back right now!

Although I do own a sewing machine I am very sorry to say I rarely use it, so I thought I would ease myself in to doing projects with a no-sew version… I found this great <a href="https://www.dannells.com/waste-basket-making-kit-963-p.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>bin making kit online</b></span></a>, which is very similar to lampshade making kits. </div>

It sticks the fabric to a plastic pre-cut shape, which is then wrapped around two metal hoops and a base is inserted. I used my <a href="http://camelotfabrics.com/catalog/product/view/id/9355/s/map-in-lavender/category/263/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">map fabric</span></b></a> to cover the body of the bin and I think it looks great. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This weekend I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to guest post on the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/camelot_fabrics/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Camelot Fabrics Instagram </b></span></a>account. It was so much fun to share my experiences of life as a designer and to get feedback from the sewing and quilting community who will be using my designs for their fabulous creations! I loved it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="text-align: start;">Hi! I’m Vicky Yorke and I’m a surface pattern designer and illustrator living in semi-rural Worcestershire, UK. I’m lucky enough to license my collections with Camelot Fabrics and I’m super-excited to be taking over the Camelot Instagram feed for the next few days so that you can get to know me better and learn more about my life as a designer! Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments section under my posts. You can also read about me in more detail on the </span><a href="http://www.camelotfabricsblog.com/2018/07/25/designer-spotlight-vicky-yorke-designs/" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Camelot Fabrics blog.</span></b></a></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I work in two ways as a designer: 1) as a freelance designer creating surface pattern designs, illustrations and new product concepts for suppliers to retail and 2) as a licensed designer, licensing designs from my portfolio straight to manufacturers for use on their products under the Vicky Yorke Designs brand. Here is a sneaky look at some of the designs from my portfolio. I love to mix illustrations with typography for patterns that are really fun. Most often I create designs that are bright, whimsical and that will hopefully make you smile! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to fabric, my designs also feature across many other types of product including stationery, homeware, gift, kitchenware, tech cases and personalised product and I have other new exciting things launching soon! It’s always so fun to see my designs come alive on product, adding a splash of colour and transforming the product into something that’s completely unique! (But I must admit that products that involve fabric are always my favourite!) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The collection celebrates iconic British landmarks and culture and you can read all about what inspired my designs over on the <a href="http://www.camelotfabricsblog.com/2018/07/25/designer-spotlight-vicky-yorke-designs/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Camelot Fabrics blog</span></b></a>. For all of my collections I always start with a loose pencil sketch and then work back over the design in ink. I create drawings that are whimsical and fun! These drawings show iconic landmarks of London: Big Ben / The Elizabeth Tower, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Battersea Power Station. Also featured in this collection is The London Eye, Buckingham Palace & The Gherkin.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Widdop stand is always one of the most extravagant at Spring Fair, with my collection on display within a little house ( - complete with smoking Chimney!) that they had built within the overall stand design! It was in a great location and it was really gratifying to see so many buyers stopping to admire the display!<br />

The only problem was that with so many buyers milling about and with harsh NEC lighting, it was quite difficult to get good photos... I haven't really done justice to how lovely the products are, but I have posted the best ones for you here. Existing products in the collection include tea light holders; oil burners; a clock; storage boxes; memory boxes; a key box; photo frames; wall plaques and wall art; lanterns; notebooks; a planner; tea pot; mugs and coasters.<br />

There were even some new product additions with beautiful vases in two different sizes and pillar candles with my designs printed onto the wax, all available for the first time. Retailers can place orders for these with Widdop now and these items will be in stores later in the year.<br />

Following the successful launch of a selection of my products at Autumn Fair, I was delighted to have even more products featured across two stands at <a href="https://www.springfair.com/"><span style="color: magenta;"><b>Spring Fair</b></span></a> this year. Spring Fair is the UK's number one trade fair for home and gift products, showcasing the the best products and product launches from over 2,500 exhibitors. It's basically the place to be and be seen for UK home and gift retail and attracts the most influential UK retail buyers!<br />

I was honoured therefore that my licensing partner Melamaster devoted an ENTIRE STAND to promoting my products! It was absolutely huge and it was such a delight to see the stand area filled with all the bright and vibrant colours of my mix and match collections. With 4 collections on display, the stand was divided into 4 areas and the products were displayed on lovely whitewashed pallets and crates to really help the colours to pop! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On show were products including trays, pot stands, chop boards, place mats, coasters and tea bag tidies featuring a selection of floral and farm designs from my 'Village Life' collection...</div>

Each range contains 4 complimentary new designs, which can be used on their own, or you can mix and match the patterns for a more eclectic kitchenware look! </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The first range is called ‘Jewels Of The Sea’ and was inspired by the colours and moods of the beautiful coastal scenery of one of my favourite places, Studland in Dorset. Designs include shells, starfish, waves and fish - all in a calming coastal colour palette. Each pattern is available on a large variety of different products including trays, placemats, coasters, chop boards, pot stands and much more.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Click the name below each image to view all the products available in that design. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The second collection is full of geometric loveliness! Taken from my ‘Geometrico’ collection, each of these patterns was designed during a trip to Venice. While not directly inspired by the city, I felt compelled to fill my sketchbook with geometric doodles throughout the trip as if they became a creative outlet for the beautiful sights and sounds of such a vibrant city. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The third range is made up of four patterns from my ‘Village Life’ design collection. I must admit this series of designs is especially close to my heart as it’s inspired by the village where I live and these designs always make me think of home! From the bright blooms inspired by the tulips I can see from my studio window in Spring, to the pigs and chickens who live at the farm at the end of the road... to even the clock, which is the centre point of our village... I’ve tried to capture it all! And my vibrant colour pallet has been beautifully reproduced on Melamaster’s lovely products!</span></div>
