First things first. Please come and say hello at the Country Living Spring Fair, 26-29 April at beautiful Alexandra Palace in north London. Giggy & Bab will be at Stand D24, offering 10 stools on which to perch and rest your tired fair feet. Lots of pretty must-have homewares will be on sale. And if you need fresh air, you can always step outside where the terrace offers glorious views over London.

In other developments….

We are proud and delighted to announce our first foray into retail, with a batch of Hornsey stools on their way to Malta, where they will be on sale in the gorgeous Camilleri Paris Mode department store in Rabat.

Here at home, the reliably readable blog, The Women’s Room, featured an interview with Juliet as part of their ongoing celebration of mature female entrepreneurs. Read it HERE.

And finally, gush gush, the lovely Lauren Laverne, doyenne of BBC Radio 6 Music and all round good egg, saw fit to add a Giggy & Bab pin to her Nest Goals board on Pinterest. As befits a musical gal, she was looking for ideas to be able to reach her records on the top shelf. Another good use for the Hornsey stool. PS Lauren’s weekday show at 10 o’clock on 6 Music will bring audio sunshine to your day.
