Making one of these today which has just reminded me last year we were very honored to be asked to make this apron for the Birthday of the personal chef to Prince Charles!! so his Sister told me!!! Hope he wore it to work
: ))A little better than Downton Abbey perhaps...

Are Gwynnie & Chris Consciously Coupled again?

I have proof! this was sent out yesterday!

A rose for a Rose...

 This week Lovehart is inspired by Downtons naughty but nice Lady Rose McClare. We would like to think Atticus would pop one of our compacts in her Christmas stocking. Just launched last week the first few were posted yesterday...

For Downton Abbeys Fantastic Cook, Mrs Patmore...

Our first Lovehart Christmas present is for one of my favorite Downton Abbey characters, Lesley Nicol Mrs. Patmore.  I like to think she would go for something quite unfussy using very classy vintage fonts & cutlery straight from the Downton dining table (upstairs of course!) 

 

Nicol grew up near Manchester, the daughter of an amateur-actress mother and a GP father, and attended Guildhall Drama School. What I love most is some of her jaw dropping one liners, we all need a few of these up our sleeve. Especially recently as she is sent off by Mrs Hughes  to Mr Carson to discuss his connubial needs in their impending marriage. Sooo funny. Lest we forget her lines when we need them:-

"I sent you for a drink of water, not a trip up the Nile." - to Daisy

"Oh!…Judas was only trying to help, I suppose, when he brought the Roman soldiers to the Garden." - to Daisy

Christmas at Downton Abbey

To celebrate getting back to my own pages & work after 10 months helping my other half  I have decided (in my imagination) that Lovehart is going to be the official supplier of gifts to the characters of Downton Abbey. So little time left I am relishing every last episode!!

Best Selling Card

Great to have another order from Nick at Blue Heron our USA distributor for this design. A quick reprint as we could not rise to 1200 any more. Destined I think for Barnes & Noble...?? officially Loveharts best selling card.

Lovehart has been Busy for Simon Hart

I have been totally tied up this year busy building online presence www.simonhart.co.uk, blog, FB, Twitter, Pinterest & much more (all the product for him!) that sadly what is left of Lovehart has been very neglected. Simon's strengths are not on the computer (but neither are mine!!) Lovehart has for the last 5 years been primarily a wholesale business which saw us supply over 600 UK retailers & distribute all over the world. However we have evolved now to separate our work & I am very much looking forward to taking Lovehart in a new direction. No longer wholesale & much more about personalised heirloom style gifts. Had a very inspiring trip to London for Not on the High Street Make Do & Meet & now just trying to focus on getting all of Simon's online presence under my belt so I can focus on redirection of  Lovehart, hopefully by September. At least everything I have learnt in the process for Simon I can use to hopefully even greater advantage going forwards....
