Trouble...

I know that there have not been many posts on here - but I am having trouble uploading pictures and in all honesty the pictures of the designers work is far more appealing than my dribble.

I have to say though that the pictures of new products from people like Sophie from That Vintage, Dora from Dick and Dora, and new loz and dinny items are just too gorgeous for words - but given my picture issue you are just going to have to take my word for it!

We will have all the promotional material out next week and I am really excited to say that the team at Cowley's have done another fantastic job on it..they are clever clots there!

With only three weeks to go it is all hands on board and I know the designers are working hard to make sure they have enough product to go for three days!!!!

Too Many Goregous Presents

It is just too hard sometimes to pick just one gorgeous designer especially on another rainy Friday in Launceston. So I am just going to show you a sample of the many gorgeous items available at Niche in November and let you pick your own favourites.

Where do I start - or with Whom do I start?

Wanting to start with a big bang and given that I had teased about our new 'Nichies' I thought it best I start with Who Did That? This is contemporary low-energy lighting too goreous to be true!!! The sensational Loz Abberton makes the most amazing flat pak chandeliers, standeliers (floor and desk lamps) and Grandeliers fabricated from either eco-resin or Forestry Stewardship Council veneered ply! Whew!!! + lightweight stainless steel designs to create your own bespoke lamp shade or pendant light.
Loz is a local lass...here in Sunny (rainy?) Launceston who is creating amazing designs, selling them world wide and is making her Niche debut! Very excited to have her onboard this market and if her wacky emails are anything to go by (and her company logo) it should be a barrell of laughs!

Stall Holders

It is without a doubt the hardest part of organising Niche - having incredibly talented people contact me wanting to be a part of Niche, and deservingly so as their work, creativity and personal beauty is exactly what Niche is about! We have a great, but limited space, the Art Gallery gives us as much space as they can but we just can not take anyone else at this stage. Please still contact me as I will make sure you get an application for the next one, people may have to pull out and/or we might be able to create more space through some sites outside but that is not definete at this stage!



In writing this I would love to see Niche become a permanent fixture somewhere in Launceston...we just need the right venue......ahhh it is good to dream!

Full Steam Ahead

Finally I hear you say!!!...we have confirmed all exhibitors for the Christmas Niche. Thanks again to the Uni, we will be in the awesome gallery space which is the best backdrop for the incredibly talented array of designers we have involved.
9, yep nine, new exhibitors including a steel object maker, a book maker, a different winery and florist, and standeliers, and if you are asking what are they well keep an eye on the blog to find out as we highlight some of the stall holders over the next couple of months.

We had over 50 applicants for 30 spots so it was not an easy process to work out who to have there...but this just goes to show the amount of people with talent in our local community. I am sorry to those that missed out - if we could fit everyone one we would...

I must say that we are really looking forward to this Niche - three days of relaxed and unique Christmas shopping - what more could anyone ask for? But for all the stall holders - it is a fantastic time to be able to meet new people who share a common bond.
