			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are pleased to say that we have many happy customers, but we thought we&#8217;d reproduce the following e-mail relating to a job we have just completed for a couple who have set up a bed and breakfast in their home: </p>
<p>Dear Lesley,</p>
<p> This is just a brief note to say how delighted we have been with the personal service you have provided. We were extremely pleased with the curtains you made for the lounge at Hollingham House and more recently we have been particularly impressed with your eye for detail and perfectionism in making the Roman blinds, valence and headboard for our new B&amp;B room. We have really appreciated your friendly advice and professionalism and would have no hesitation in warmly recommending you to any of your prospective clients.</p>
<p> With thanks and best wishes,</p>
<p>Sue &amp; Tony Marchand</p>
<p>Hollingham House B&amp;B</p>

<p>We are proud to announce that we have taken on the Sanderson account and can now supply Sanderson and William Morris fabrics and wallpapers.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sanderson</span></p>
<p>Founded by Arthur Sanderson in 1860, Sanderson is an internationally renowned brand in the field of interior design and decorating.  Its quintessentially English fabrics and wallpapers offer exceptional quality and value for money.<br />  <br /> Having been granted a Royal Warrant in 1923, Sanderson still supplies fabrics, paint and wallcoverings to HM Queen Elizabeth II and British Royal Palaces.</p>
<p>Sanderson’s core products are co-ordinating fabric and wallpaper collections, often based on documents from its extensive archive.</p>
<p>Well known for its traditional, English inspired design, Sanderson is also innovative in its use of colour and production techniques.  The company draws on the creativity of young contemporary designers, alongside the work of artists and historical documents.  This mix creates new and directional designs for modern living.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Morris &amp; Co. (William Morris)</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>William Morris (1834–1896) was the single most influential designer of the nineteenth century. Morris was a political theorist, scholar, translator and publisher, an environmental campaigner, writer and poet as well as an outstanding designer. Under his direction Morris &amp; Co. grew into a flourishing and fashionable decorating firm renowned for its wallpapers and textiles.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Today Morris &amp; Co. guarantees authentic versions of those designs alongside new interpretations, using innovations in printing and weaving technology to create up-to-date fabric and wallpaper designs with timeless appeal.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: medium;">BEST SELLER</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are pleased to now be able to offer one of John Lewis’s best-selling  fabrics directly from their supplier, L’Orient, at a very competitive price.  It is a versatile, very pretty woven leaf design on Lampass cloth in various colourways.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are sometimes asked what we mean by &#8220;hand finished&#8221;. When making curtains and Roman blinds the widths of main fabric, lining and interlining are machined together. The rest of the process is hand-stitched. This means the interlining is locked to the main fabric by hand-stitching, the edges of the curtains or blinds are turned in and hand-stitched, the hem is turned up and hand-stitched and the lining is locked to the interlining by hand. On curtains pinch pleats are firstly machined to ensure strength and then finished by hand. Gathered headings can be finished using a heading tape, which is machined or hand-gathered, which is an entirely hand sewn process.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that hand-finished work produces a far superior product.</p>
<p>The alternative to hand-finished is machine made when everything is machine-sewn. This a less expensive option as it is less labour intensive, but can only be used for lined only curtains and blinds as interlined curtains and blinds must be hand-finished to ensure stability. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We wish all of our clients a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. If the doom and gloom merchants in the media are to be believed, 2012 is going be a tough year. So, with this in mind, we are pleased to announce that we are freezing our prices for yet another year so that all of our making up costs for our top quality, hand-made curtains, blinds and soft furnishings remain at the same rates as in January 2010.  We have no control over our supplier&#8217;s prices who, in turn, are governed by the massive rise in the costs of cotton, worldwide manufacturing and transportation, but we will offer discounts on fabrics wherever possible.</p>
