Watch this space: Homegrown Fair 2013

This space is in the process of being transformed into an Urban Caravan park with a difference.

Design on the Move in association with Mr Price Home is one of this year's "must see" exhibitions. Here are some behind the scenes photos, on this project that has taken months of planning.

Crochet Everywhere!

Craft is cool, it is the comeback kid of our generation!  No longer just for grannies and eccentric aunties, craft is modern!  

To celebrate this revival, our decor elements for the Homegrown area are a modern interpretation of a timeless craft! Here's to crochet!

A special friend makes these, I am chain stitching them together to make some garlands for the show.

For our hall decor, we have collaborated with Ukhamba craft who have crocheted onto the most amazing lampshade forms.  Our interpretation of bunting this year is extra-large chain stitch!  I love this apricot colour!
