Vicky Yorke Designs

I had such an exciting time at Spring Fair ! In addition to all the lovely products on display over on the Vicky Yorke Designs for Melamaster stand , it was also great to see my existing 'Sand Dunes' home, gift and stationery collection for Widdop & Co displayed beautifully over in hall 4. 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! 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...

I am delighted to be able to share with you my collaboration with Widdop & Co . across homeware and gift in the UK & Europe. My soft and delicate ’Sand Dunes’ collection launched at Autumn Fair, UK this month and covers product including lanterns, photo frames, storage boxes, trinket dishes, keep sake boxes, wall art, stationery, mugs and lots more! Product is due to be in stores A/W 2017 and I will update the blog with more information as soon as it's available.  Also at Autumn Fair I was excited to launch new Christmas designs with UK company, Melamaster,   which includes a selection of melamine and laminated board decorative kitchen products and hanging signs from my ’Winter Floral’, ’Vintage Christmas’ and ’Folk Tale’ ranges. All designs are available to trade for custom order and select designs will be in retail and online in the run up to Christmas. 

  Those of you who have been following my blog for a while will remember that last year I launched a selection of personalised handmade items through my Etsy shop. I have been so busy with design work over the last year that unfortunately I just don't have time to make products myself at the moment.  Never fear though! I have now teamed up exclusively with the wonderful people at withlovefrom.com to bring you a brand new selection of personalised gifts illustrated with my 'Bright Hearts' designs. And my products couldn't be in better hands. With Love From is a family run company who have been experts in engraving and printing personalised products for many years. I love their philosophy: We believe there's nothing more special than the feeling you get when somebody gives you a really thoughtful gift. One that really means something to both the giver and the recipient... We want to help people create and celebrate memories and to give gifts that m...

It's been great to hear from my agents, Jewel Branding , that the summer shows at Surtex, New York and Licensing Expo, Las Vegas were a resounding success with lots of exciting companies visiting the stand and many of them choosing to view my portfolio with the possibility of becoming licensing partners in the near future! Jewel have kindly shared with me some photos of their booths, which I'm sure you'll agree looked absolutely fantastic! First, are some images of the booth at Surtex, where each of the Jewel designers were asked to format their designs into hexagons, which were then used to create a really striking stand display. How many of my designs can you spot in the photos below?! And below are images of the stand at Licensing Expo, where some of my designs were shown on large digital display screens.   If you missed the shows, but would like to view my full portfolio please contact Beth Franklin - beth@jewe...
