Exciting news.  purpleholly.co.uk will be offering you the opportunity to celebrate the birth of the new Royal Baby George with a special edition china mug designed by talented British artist David Luff.  This beautiful China Mug named "Prams & Corgi" features a hand painted drawing of a charming royal princess with blue hair pushing a pram, with royal corgis and the new prince's name and date of birth printed on the back of the mug.

Fabulous Present wrapping

Attended a wonderful present wrapping course last Friday with Jane Means.  Purple Holly learnt how to wrap a box, tie the perfect ribbon and wrap a cupcake!  We will be studying Jane's fab DVD very closely in the future so that we can perfect our techniques.

In the very near future purpleholly.co.uk will be offering a brand new gift wrapping service, to provide all our lovely customers with the opportunity to have their presents personally gift wrapped in a choice of stylish wrapping paper.

Here are some examples of Purple Holly's creations from Jane's course. Our present wrapping will be near perfect in time for Christmas, we promise!
