Our First solo trade fair – Exclusively Housewares 2021 It’s taken me a month to get round to, but here (finally) are some photos from Exclusively Housewares which we attended at the end of August! Exclusively Housewares is a lovely trade show with a really great atmosphere and this year was no exception. In…
Hooray to 10 Years! This month – June the 7th to be precise – Katie Alice turns 10 years old! I’m so unbelievably proud that we’ve reached this milestone – especially after the year we’ve all had! And it feels so apt that this year is set to be our biggest, scariest, most exciting year…
What’s the deal this black Friday? Hello Friends! It’s that time of year again! Hands up if your email is stuffed to the brim with “once in a lifetime prices…” or “we never normally do sales but…” and “get ALL your Christmas shopping done NOW WITH US”. Black Friday is problematic, and I’ll tell…
Back to school – or the Autumn reset. “September will forever feel like the first page of a crisp new notebook or the softness of a new sweater, all fresh starts, optimism and hope.” I read this on an account that I follow on Instagram recently and it resonated with me so…
Meet our lovely Rainbow Charity Bag! Ever since the start of the pandemic, we at Katie Alice have wanted to find a way to contribute to the lives of others that are struggling during these unprecedented times. Many charities have been left struggling financially due to summer fund-raising events being cancelled, and donations coming in…
In just over two weeks I’ll be boarding a flight on my way back to wonderful, wonderful Japan. I’m honoured to have been invited back by Hankyu department store in Osaka to exhibit at their bustling British Fair event, which I first attended back in 2015. The upcoming trip has also provided me with the…
Every year in Stamford at the beautiful Elizabethan estate of Burghley Park, one of the most prestigious events in the equine calendar is hosted to crowds now reaching 140,000 in just four days. And every year since me and Matt moved into Stamford we have missed the whole event due to other plans but this year we…
So this post is a little late in arriving but I still wanted to share my amazing trip to Japan with you! Right back at the start of last year I was paid a visit by two lovely chaps working for the Japanese department store Hankyu. Â They asked whether I would like to attend the…
Our first year of fairs ended with a bang last year at the Country Living Christmas Fair back in November! For those of you that couldn’t make it, we had an amazing stand position right at the entrance of the fair. We had our beautiful new handmade rustic shelves, lovely winter foliage from Miss Pickering,…
I know it’s a little early to start banging on about Christmas already but I know those organised folk out there will be quietly planning, writing out their shopping lists and penciling in their festive activities! I bloody love Christmas even when it is knocking on your door in September and this year we’re decidedly…
If you’d have told me 20 years ago – when the only way my Mum could convince me to go to a garden centre was at the promise of a peek around the tropical fish section with potential purchase to follow – that today I would be the one booking us tickets and planning days…
INTRODUCING THE KATIE ALICE SUMMERHOUSE A collaboration with Scott’s of Thrapston that launched this week at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. I started working with Scott’s last year when they asked me to style their summerhouses at the 2014 Chelsea Flower Show, and after a successful summer of shows for them I was very happy to be asked to work together on creating a summerhouse…
THIS YEAR I’M REALLY EXCITED TO BE ATTENDING THE COUNTRY LIVING SPRING FAIR WHERE I WILL PERSONALLY BE SELLING DIRECTLY TO YOU WONDERFUL LOT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! Long have I been a fan of country living magazine.  Curling up in my sunny bay window at home while flicking through it’s pages of perfectly arranged…
This week I finally got to visit the Chelsea Flower Show after longing for years but never quite being organised enough to book tickets before they sold out. Thanks to an invitation to collaborate with Scotts of Thrapston on their beautiful summerhouse stand this year, I was able to fully gorge on the magical gardens in the…
This year I was flattered to be asked by local business Scotts of Thrapston if I would like to work with them on their beautiful summer houses for their stand at the RHS 2014 chelsea flower show. I’ve been desperate to go to the flower show for a long time but my sieve-like memory prevents me from…
Hello! Welcome to the Katie Alice blog! This little space is where I can keep you up to date with what we’ve been busy doing, as well as new product and collection launches. I also like to throw in the odd recipe, music playlist or competition, and sometimes just a bit of general chit-chat is in order. And almost always with pretty photos... Enjoy!
