Royal Highland Show 20th to 23rd June

Royal Highland Show 20th to 23rd June

We are off up north of the border soon for the Royal Highland Show. It’s not quite in the highlands, being close to Edinburgh, but we are looking forward to it non the less.  Luckily we have a few Scottish pictures to adorn our stand - Edinburgh - globe and spiral Glasgow - globe and spiral  and a few football grounds - Tynecastle, Easter Road, Firhill, Celtic Park and Ibrox.  We are also hopeful that our picture of Golf Courses in GB and Ireland does well seeing as a fair few of them are in the home of golf!

Edinburgh, London and Sydney

Edinburgh, London and Sydney

The team at StavesArt, or rather the ones who are “looking after the shop”, would like to wish Ben and Amy a wonderful honeymoon down under.  It was going to be a longer honeymoon travelling in Oz, but Amy got tickets to see Taylor Swift in Edinburgh so…. it got cut. Still, it’s long enough! Ben and Amy have left Edinburgh, are travelling to London and will be flying to Sydney later today. Hope they have a great trip.  Just as well Ben’s drawn all 3 cities or else I’d have nothing to illustrate this post!

Tim is on his own in the stall and would appreciate someone looking after it while he goes to the loo!

Wedding!

Ben is marrying Amy today so we are having a day off in the wilds of County Durham.  The team at StavesArt - that’s me, Tim, Nick, Jill and Fiona would like to wish Ben and Amy all the best for a wonderful day and life to follow.  An important member of Ben and Amy’s family won’t be there. Colin, their Border Collie, is having a bit of a holiday with Mack, Tim’s dog. Still I thought it appropriate to be reminded of him, as I know  how important he is to them - so here’s a photo of Colin...

The Title Race is On!

The Title Race is On!

As I write Manchester City are top of the premier league with Arsenal and Liverpool managing to lose at home over the weekend.It’s small comfort to a fan of the Gunners or The Reds but, on our league table of 'most popular prints', Man City are sixth in the league behind Anfield, St James Park, Elland Road, Old Trafford and Highbury/Emirates. Both our Anfield and Old Trafford pictures have been redrawn in the last few months. Anfield to take account of the new stand and Old Trafford because we thought it needed bit of a makeover (bit like the real ground). We’ve also...
