Portmeirion is one of my most favourite places ever. How I envy you working there - I have had the BEST times there and it brings back so many happy memories for me. When next I am passing I will surely say hello to you!!

Sometimes I just love to watch Prisoner DVDs just to get the 'fix' of Portmeirion!!!!

PS if you have any spare plates, bowls etc... going begging - I am your woman!! Oh and if you could fix it for me to stay in one of the lovely buildings for a week-end I would be eternally grateful!!!!!

Love

Hello Rush

I hadn't realised that there was a Stoke outlet although that makes sense being as Stoke is the land of pottery.

I can just see the Portmeirion pottery now and I just LOVE it!!!

I was only jesting about the discount but I do SO love the place and the pottery. Perhaps you could fix it for me - suggest they incorporate sunflowers in one of their designs? It would go well with the botanical theme I think!!

PS Does your workplace open to the public as I often go through Stoke to my sister-in-laws in Shropshire and I could call by for a look at the lovely things P/m produce??

 

[Rush]

Yes , we have a shop on site and we do factory tours..If you want a decorative plate let me know the style and message and shape and i will post 1 too you .I have some muscle there as i am Team Leader over the Kilns

 

[gabriella]

Oh Rush that's so kind!! I am not sure about a design though - design is not my forte I am afraid I was thinking about how nice it would be to incorporate a sunflower design with the botanical theme. (Nice for me that is - whether the owners think the same is another matter!!)

Love

Choose an available Design and item piece (ie 10" plate) and a message and i will send it to you.. will pass on the sunflower idea too our design dept

 

[gabriella]

OK - I am going for it!!

I love the 'Crazy Daisy' design by P/m - how about introducing a sunflower in the theme - keeping it basically the same but with the sunflower - that would be perfect for me!!!

Love

PS I need a cup and saucer in my suggested theme but the Crazy Daisy is just the best with my minor adjustments!!
