Tea towels – a weekly blog « Countryside Art

One of the first tea towel designs we produced for The British Museum

The blog is slightly late this week as we have been so busy following Spring Fair and also because of the large volume of new enquires and orders coming in at the moment. I have also been out of the office on Tuesday for a visit to The British Museum – a very valued customer who we first started dealing with at the time of the Terracotta Army exhibition.

Following Spring Fair we have been receiving a lot of interest in our tea towels, bags, aprons, kitchen textiles, mugs, paper giftware, garments and melamine coasters and mats. It was also good to meet up with so many existing customers for a chat too.

Our stand at Spring Fair 2012 where we exhibited our wide range of tea towels, bags, kitchen textiles etc.

Back at the factory; recently the BBC Look North’s Business and Economics reporter, Paul Murphy, came over to film for a feature on businesses who are ‘Bucking the Trend’ during the recession.

The feature should now be going out around the start of March so as soon as we know the actual date we will publish it on the blog. We are also hoping to feature some of the footage on the website too in due course.

Best wishes
