Carrie’s coming to town

Saturday, May 11th, 2013

Thursday the 16th of May will see Welsh jewellery designer and Hide All favourite Carrie Elspeth join us at Shad Thames for a very special day dedicated to her beautiful work. Not only will she be gracing us with her presence, she will be talking about how her jewellery is made and what inspires her designs.

To celebrate, Carrie is giving Hide All customers a free pair of hand-made earrings as big thank you for the continued support and love of everything Carrie and everything Welsh!

Simply pop in and get your personal invite along with the first half of your free earrings, bring the invite with you on the 16th and re-unite the pair!

A Life in Colour

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

Situated in the heart of Bermondsey, The Fashion and Textile museum is a 10 minute walk away from us.

Founded by British designer Zandra Rhodes, this iconic building is amongst the must see’s of SE1.

Currently hosting ‘Kaffe Fassett – A Life in Colour’ “a celebration of the work of one of the great practitioners of contemporary craft.”

For any lovers of arts and crafts and of course colour, this is a must to do in London this Spring.

WARNING: Once visited you may find the urge to knit, quilt, paint or weave. It certainly had that effect on us!

London Marathon

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Here at Hide All we’re big supporters of all things sports; namely the mighty Charlton FC! However this weekend all our thoughts and support are with the fantastic people who are involved in the London Marathon.

This year is even more important than ever especially as we have not 1 but 2 friends of Hide All. They will be running for their respective charities on Sunday and we’ll be cheering them on from the starting line at Blackheath, over Tower Bridge, around the docklands and finishing up at Westminster!

Stuart Boddy from Radley London has been a friend of Hide All for many years and we know he’ll do an amazing run. His justgiving link is at the bottom of this page if you’d like to donate to his very personal and worthy cause; Cancer Research Wales. Please do read his story and follow his journey.

Erin Johnson who works in Shad Thames is running on behalf of the Crohn’s and Colitis UK charity and as ever has risen to the occasion with such style and grace.

We’ve loved reading http://lovefromcornfield.com/ throughout her marathon preparations. Again her giving link is at the bottom of this page.
