‘A Pity. We Were Such A Good Inven­tion’ by Yehuda Amichai

They ampu­tated

Your thighs off my hips.

As far as I’m concerned

They are all sur­geons. All of them.

They dis­mantled us

Each from the other.

As far as I’m concerned

They are all engin­eers. All of them.

A pity. We were such a good

And lov­ing invention.

An aero­plance made from a man and wife.

Wings and everything.

We hovered a little above the earth.

We even flew a little.

‘Winter Love’ by Eliza­beth Jennings

Let us have winter lov­ing that the heart

May be in peace and ready to partake

Of the slow pleas­ure spring would wish to hurry

Or that in sum­mer harshly would awake,

And let us fall apart, O gladly weary,

The white skin shaken like a white snowflake.

‘A Ded­ic­a­tion To My Wife’ by T.S. Eliot

To whom I owe the leap­ing delight

That quick­ens my senses in our wakingtime

And the rhythm that gov­erns the repose of our sleepingtime,

The breath­ing in unison

Of lov­ers whose bod­ies smell of each other

Who think the same thoughts without need of speech

And babble the same speech without need of meaning.

No peev­ish winter wind shall chill

No sul­len tropic sun shall wither

The roses in the rose-garden which is ours and ours only

But this ded­ic­a­tion is for oth­ers to read:

These are private words addressed to you in public.

Our very good friends over at Rock My Wed­ding were asked along to The National Wed­ding Show (in Lon­don Earl’s Court & Birmingham’s NEC). They were given a stand in the blog­gers area along with our other wed­ding blog friends I Am Staggered.

And Rock My Wed­ding asked us if we’d provide some typo­graphic art­work.

We have massive respect for Rock My Wed­ding. Prac­tic­ally every­one get­ting mar­ried reads it. We’re get­ting mar­ried next June. And we read it daily. The founder, Char­lotte, is also a Coulson Macleod cus­tomer. So how could we refuse?

We sent them our ‘Wed­ded Bliss’ & ‘It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll’ typo­graphic lime­stone prints.

Their pho­tos from their blog are so lovely we’ve put them here for you to see too.

Coulson Macleod was sur­roun­ded by won­der­ful com­pan­ies at the Spirit of Christ­mas Fair. In fact it was very hard to res­ist the tempta­tion to buy everything. Here were some of our neighbours…

the stand to our right was

with their pretty soaps and toi­let bags

the stand to our left was

with their hand­made silk clothing

oppos­ite was Old Rect­ory with the most gor­geous organic cot­ton baby clothes

and

with their per­son­al­ised jewellery

and

with their make-your-own lip balm kits with nat­ural ingredi­ents includ­ing beeswax and cocoa but­ter. We bought the chocol­ate one — with real Bel­gian chocol­ate — as a stock­ing filler.

and a little fur­ther along was Con­nock

with their Hawaiian kukui oil products. Con­nock also won the Best Stand Design.

Last week Coulson Macleod was at the Spirit of Christ­mas Fair at Lon­don Olympia.

This is our stand GR9 right at the very begin­ning with our lovely hand­made typo­graphic art piled up amongst the boxes…

And our first stand design, which we later re-jigged…

Last minute re-jigging before the Fair opened to the public…

London’s Olympia look­ing very Christmassy…

Every­one frantic­ally mak­ing last minute adjustments…

The front of our stand GR9 show­ing our lime­stone typo­graphic art…

And show­ing our framed lime­stone prints, solid ash gift col­lec­tion and ‘Dec­ades’ prints…
