Follies First Birthday Celebrations

It’s been twelve months since Follies first opened their pale green door onto Bridewell Alley.  Follies have had a wonderful first year of great trade and fantastic local support and have fast become the prettiest shop on The Norwich Lanes for buying your vintage style homewares & gifts. 

On Friday 6^th July, in celebration of our first birthday, Follies will be having a small soiree with all sorts of delights & treats. 

The evening will include a special private viewing of works by Lucy Loveheart, exhibiting at Follies as part of the Norwich Lanes Art Trail. Lucy Loveheart – International artist, illustrator and designer has produced a wonderful range of paintings, prints, children’s books, giftware and fabrics, many of which have since become collectors items. Lucy has developed her distinctively naive style into highly sought after and recognisable products.

We will also have another artist with us ~ Georgie Matthews, a highly talented calligrapher & chalk lettering artist who also incidently created the Follies logo and the sweet little illustrations we use on our packaging.  It is with great pleasure that Georgie will be joining us for our special evening to produce an original & unique piece of chalk art in celebration of Follies first year.  Georgie will be creating a  live art installation through the evening ~ you’ll be able to watch her as she works, designing & completing an original artwork in chalk which will then be on view for the Norwich Lanes Arts Trail as part of this year’s Norwich Lanes Summer Fayre.

We will also be holding a very special raffle, including lots of wonderful prizes & treats in aid of Stonham Women’s Refuge, a locally run charity which offer sanctuary and support to women fleeing domestic abuse.  Tickets are available now. Should you have a prize you wish to donate to this very worthwhile cause, contact Lolly at Follies.

So please do come along on the evening, we’d love to have you join us in celebrating Follies first birthday & toast to a bright & happy future.
