and thank you

it was a lovely night - much more than we expected (including more people!) but just as we had hoped.

thank you all of you that came for making it a very special opening, for the gift shop and for jon cartwright, and for all your generous and kind comments on the night. and thank you all of you that sent best wishes from all over the world.

it’s time for that oscar speech.

some special mentions: torange - who made it with dara and ava, and without andreas; claire’s crazy crowd; all our mates (why do you all live in north london anyway?); my country gal soph all the way from wiltshire; the cartwright family from crawley; john bruguier and diane without whom the whole show would have been a no show; the exhibit crew - you are amazing, and you make us laugh; our artists and their friends, especially team toey; dolce and gabbana and their friends; gorgeous lovina from the eatery; lloyd and co for staying open late; tomas (miracle), magic (that really is his name) and heaven - our incredibly handy men - and no you can’t have their numbers; and to pele pele pele pele who has been holding my hand ever since, and always has.

since thursday we haven’t been able to open due illness, and hence the lateness of this post.

but we will be open as normal this thursday, 4th december, friday and saturday 10-5, and you’ll be able to see jon’s work until the 12th. the gift exchange will also be open and is a permanent fixture in the shop. we heard some great ideas for gifts on the night, so we’re looking forward to getting that going. i’ll be here friday and saturdays to record exchanges and help generate ideas where needed.

hope to see you soon.
