Hey, Russell, can I get a RT?

So me and my adventure-homie Andrew just went to a book signing by Russell Kane.  If you didn't already know, Russell has been rocking his POW pin on all the TV shows.  Graham Norton Christmas Special, Georgie Shore and Britain Unzipped, to mention a few.

Russell gave a talk on the book (it's not an auto-biography, it's a novel) and answered questions. Ooh he is a funny lad!!  Then he signed all the books and had a quick chat.  As a thank you for giving the POW some love, I know Russell loves a curry, so I gave him a jar of Aagrah sauce. I deliberated of Achari and Hydrabadi - I should have got both but I was playing it cool... so I went for Achari as it seemed like a hotter choice? Hmm.

Anyway he was very pleased (not that you'd tell from the photo...) and he totes loved the jewelz.  And I got a retweet!

Don't think I've ever talked as much guff as I just did at @russell_kane giving him a curry. Yes, I gave him Bradford curry.

POW!

P.S the shop is shut for a few days whilst I jet off somewhere cool (but warm, hopefully). In a bit!

Kitschen Sink on... Britain Unzipped with Russell Kane

That's right, the Pow mini-pin has made another TV appearance, this time on the new TV show Britain Unzipped, presented by Russell Kane.

I heart Russell and Russell hearts Kitschen Sink, but will Russell heart Rowan when she meets him next month? Eek!

I'm so pleased he loves his pin so much!

That was March...

I tried to take it easy this month...

♥ I restored an old picture frame

♥ I debuted in Sheffield, at the Reetsweet shopping event at the Millennium Gallery. I loved it there and need to go back for a proper look around soon.

♥ An article I wrote was published in a local magazine, Brand Yorkshire

♥ I had my first solo go on a laser cutter - the motherfrickinlaser at Duke Studios in Leeds - a very cool place to work

♥ I launched my Lovely Jubilee collection

♥ My Measuring Tape Bracelet design appeared on t'telly!

♥ Russell Kane wore his POW! pin on a super snappy suit whilst presenting Geordie Shore (love ya, Russell!)

♥ I sold at an International Women's Day event at the Queen's Hotel in Leeds, which was fun!

♥ I bought a gorgeous new one-piece swimsuit that I am yet to debut!

Awesome London!

On Friday I made my way to London Town - it's only 2h15m to get a direct train from Leeds to London, it's a totally underrated trip.  The trip was for business and pleasure: Saturday for selling, Sunday Funday at Lady Fest East!

Gold London Jubilee Bus at London Pride Design Festival

 

 'The Queen's Beasts'

 

Me and the stall - I felt disgusting and I'm not looking much better here. My stall however, does!

 

Sunday: Lady Fest East London! What a lotta fun!

 

Samantha had booked a 'lady gardner'. I expected an older Charlie Dimmock type, but Helen turned up all fresh and young and with a decorative basket of plants. She's written a book, which I bought.

 

Helen's promotional things.

 

The planting workshop was very popular. I am very proud of Samantha, she did a microphone announcement and everything. I don't think I could do that!

 

Time for home - quick tea in Leon! Fresh fast food!

More fun London times soon, I hope!

POW! On Russell Kane on Geordie Shore

I just can't get enough of Russell Kane, and seemingly he can;t get enough of his Kitschen Sink POW! Pin. 

We last saw Russell wearing his Pow! pin in December when he tweeted a picture of himself having a cuddle with his new Pug Captain Colin, then on his spot on the Graham Norton Christmas Special.  But last night he presented the whole Geordie Shore Reunion show on MTV wearing his Pow! Pin on his snappy suit. Holla!

Holla! Love ya Russell!

Yes! I've just been catching up on Baking Mad with Eric Lanlard which is a daytime TV show on Channel 4 (I've been watching it on 4OD) - spotting that the lovely Zoe Biscombe who runs the awesome Iron Cupcake contest in Leeds was a contestant.  She's sporting none other than a Kitschen Sink Measure Of My Dreams bracelet!
