So the world wide web can sometimes truly feel like a real life web, look at all the fantastic use of blogs by our friends Lasso The Moon, who talk about Farrow Creative and whom are talked about in this blog – it’s good to talk!

Quite how our Helen’s found the time, since she’s pretty much slept at Farrow Creative the past eight weeks I don’t know – but for for the second year running she is exhibiting paintings and photography with a group of friends at flip-flop open house, part of the Brighton & Hove Artist’s Open Houses festival this May. It is probably Britain’s biggest free visual arts event with a record 243 venues opening their doors to exhibit the work of over 1,300 artists and makers.

So if you’re in the Brighton area one of the first 4 weekends in May then pay her a visit and if you’re lucky there should still be some of the excellent work for sale.

Farrow Creative like to support worthy local causes and so were only too happy to help the Rotary Club of Petersfield with their Charity Auction which aims to help eradicate Polio from the world.  Having already done a great deal of work in this area the Rotary Club have shown how we can all make a big difference with just a small amount of help.  Farrow Creative gladly sponsored this worthy cause and gave up time to design and produce an 8 page brochure for the event.  Keep your eyes peeled for these arriving through your letterbox very soon.

The Rotary Club of Petersfield, with the grateful assistance of Jacobs and Hunt Auctioneers, will be holding a charity auction in aid of Thanks for Life – the Rotary campaign to eradicate polio from the world on Saturday 19th June at 2.30pm at Churcher’s College, Ramshill, Petersfield, Hampshire GU31 4AS.  At this exciting event you can bid not only on antiques, collectables and jewellery but on a selection of lots, provided by local businesses, ranging from leisure activities to free fine dining. Viewing will be from 10am on the Saturday morning when you can also leave bids for the afternoon auction.

They would also ask you to search your house, attics, and cellars for any antiques, collectables and jewellery or anything that can be donated for this very worthwhile charity auction.

If you have anything to donate please call Ken Isaac on: 07845 215360 or email:  kenisaac@hotmail.com to arrange a collection.

Congratulations to Tina Wheeler who has taken her highly successful boutique ladies clothing store Nutmeg (in Pages Court in Petersfield) and opened a sister shop in the High Street of the lovely Cotswold market town Chipping Norton.  We’re working with Tina on a new website for the stores as well as brand new carrier bags, stationary and marketing materials for both stores.  Let’s hope the powers that be in Chipping Norton allow A-boards!

We’re well used to Hannah producing great work but she (with some help from her husband Matt) introduced their new arrival – daughter Freya Emily to the world on April 16th.  Big brother Sam (aged 3 years) when quizzed how he was finding his new little sister stated ‘fine’ whilst playing with a fetching red sports car – big congratulations to the family Reed!

Another brand new Farrow Creative designed website is for local specialists Premier Property.  A company who are proud of their local reputation for fine work, personal recommendations and repeat work.  For all your kitchen, bathroom or general extension design and project management needs check out their new site at www.premproperty.co.uk

What an amazing group of people I met today at Cowplain Community School.
I was asked to be on the Dragons Den Panel to assess and choose a winner from some 220 students. They were each given the same branding and interior design task and split into teams of five. Eight groups got through to the final with one clear winner.  The Young Chamber Council were instrumental in setting everything up and my colleagues on the panel worked so hard.

Well done to everyone, and for that reason…I’m out! …… Sam

After a long search, we’re delighted to announce that on 1 March, Helen Wyatt will be joining Farrow Creative as our second senior designer to work alongside Hannah. Helen has over 20 years’ graphic design experience, both freelance and agency, with clients ranging from Suzuki and Credit Suisse to the Royal Navy. We’re really looking forward to working with her and we know you will too!

We’re pleased to announce that the Petersfield Museum re-opens this Saturday 27th February with a one off opportunity to see the Town Mace on public display.  Farrow Creative commissioned and arranged the press release for this exciting new launch that has already featured prominently in the current edition of the Petersfield Post.  Alongside the grand re-opening of both the Museum and the Flora Twort Gallery (featuring a fantastic display of 1930s period costumes) the launch coincides with a brand new Farrow Creative designed website – do check it out here www.petersfieldmuseum.co.uk

Both a lovely lady and a recent client Lea, who has recently opened Petersfield Pilates has gained an extra customer (well actually three) of late.  Not naming names but all the ladies involved are thoroughly enjoying the experience and it’s both a good form of exercise whilst also being a great relaxing way of de-stressing from a busy workload.  www.petersfieldpilates.com
