Flying the Flag for Great British Business with Homemade Prints, Pictures and Ceramics
Julia Davey is a small, family run Somerset based company flying the flag for 'Made in Britain' ceramics and home accessories. Julia showcased her range of tableware and new examples of gift wrap, tea towels and jewellery alongside eye catching butterfly frames at the Country Living Christmas Fair last month. 
"I tend to create whatever takes my fancy from jugs to butterflies and pride myself in the process of my making - each piece goes through four firings before completion. To find itself in a customer's hand it has gone through an arduous journey. I am a 'one man band' and like to decorate each item personally from start to finish. We are hoping to increase our production with the introduction of a new fine bone china range, sourced from Stoke on Trent, which will continue to be hand decorated by myself whilst supporting this British industry which is in rapid decline."

Poppy Treffry was founded in 2003 when Poppy put together a small collection of bags, cushions and tea cosies - which were quickly snapped up by galleries and boutiques locally and across the UK.
The company now produces a much larger range of gifts and homewares, all featuring Poppy's quirky designs and a sense of humour. All products are either handmade in England or sourced from UK manufacturers, with tea towels printed in Cornwall, ceramics made in Stoke on Trent and printed cushions from Lincolnshire.
Cornish design company Poppy Treffry are celebrating their continuing successful relationship with American lifestyle store chain, Anthropologie. 
"We're really pleased to be stocked by Anthropologie as their stores are beautiful and always inspiring. We already have around 25 US stockists so we’re hoping this will benefit them as well with our profile being raised over there. We've already had a request from Warner Brothers to use a few of our designs on set!"
