Evening! It’s Manmeet from @whiteraindesigns . Tonight’s my last day of London Local Instagram, and for those of you who’ve been following my stories and Instagram posts this week here’s part of my stand from @pulselondonshow trade show today, I’ve had so much fun sharing a few behind the scenes in the madness of the buildup for prep for the show! It’s been a great first day and looking forward to the next two! Come and visit me at stand c35. Sending love and light.♥️♥️♥️
Heya! It’s Manmeet from @whiteraindesigns. One of my favourite parts about my personalised ceramic gifts is writing these thoughtful, extremely personal messages and quotes for my customers to make their gifting experiences even more special. What could be better? #personalisedmugs #weddingquotes #weddingmugs #instatakeover #whiteraindesigns
Hey Manmeet here from @whiteraindesigns on takeover this week. Yesterday I shared some new designs of my original best sellers but as my brand and products have evolved I started experimenting more with clay and different painting and glazing techniques and I started making lots of personalised jewellery dishes (amongst other things). I love love love this process of working with the clay and seeing the transformations after each firing can be so satisfying although sometimes a bit stressful when I’ve got deadlines and have to wait so long to check all the makes came out ok, but so far no major catastrophes... thankfully 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 #clayprocess #ceramics #etsytakeover #instatakeover
Evening all , hope everyone’s having a lovely week.... it’s speeding by isn’t it!? I Wanted to share some more pics of my work... when I first started my business my best sellers were always my teapots and mugs as wedding or anniversary gifts. I have recently reworked all my designs and finally got them all photographed professionally. My business has evolved so much since the starting days of non stop teapots ! I’ll share more of my more recent best sellers tomorrow. I love being able to personalise these special gifts for my lovely customers 💕💕💕💍💍💍🥂🥂🥂 Feel free to have a peek on my insta page @whiteraindesigns #weddingwednesday #instatakeover #weddinggifts
Squeeze the day 🍋🍋🍋 Hiya again it’s Manmeet from @whiteraindesigns Has anyone been following my stories update today on my London Local insta takeover. I’ve been posting all the things I had to get done today in prep for @pulselondonshow in less than 5 days now! I hope I didn’t give anyone the impression that I am super organised.... can I reassure you that I am not 🤣😂 When I’m not trying to run my small ceramics business I am full time mummy to a 19month old little monkey, and today my monkey (Monty) was at nursery..... so it’s been go go go 💪🏼💪🏼 feeling pleased with my progress today and thought this hanging decoration pic which is part of my NEW range of makes launching at Pulse was perfect for today’s post as that is definitely my motto... especially on my work days! #squeezetheday #homedecoration #etsytakeover #londonetsy #ceramics #whiteraindesigns
