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…

Just some of the more cre­at­ive books Coulson Macleod received this Christmas…

We at Coulson Macleod would just like to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

As 2010 draws to an end, it’s time for us to reflect back on one truly amaz­ing year.

We’ve met and made so many won­der­ful friends: Coulson Macleod cus­tom­ers; friends on Face­book; Twit­ter; and of course read­ers of this blog. You’re all so kind and loyal and supportive. Thank you for tak­ing the time to read our posts, leave com­ments, and spread the love.

So, thank you.

We have lots up our sleeves for next year. Think big and aim high, so they say. And as always we’ll share it with you, even if, some­times, we get it wrong.

Merry Christ­mas.

Coulson Macleod.

We are very organ­ised here at Coulson Macleod.

Just to let you know that we have the major­ity of our hand­made typo­graphic prints in stock now, and ready to be delivered before Christ­mas.

These prints are guar­an­teed for deliv­ery before Christ­mas (in the UK) if ordered by Tues­day  21^st Decem­ber (sub­ject to weather conditions).

They will be sold on a first come first served basis. To check avail­ab­il­ity you can con­tact us at:

enquiries@​coulsonmacleod.​com.

ORDER YOUR ARTWORK NOW to guar­an­tee deliv­ery for Christmas.

Any prints not in stock, or ordered after the date shown can’t be guar­an­teed for deliv­ery before Christ­mas but can still be pur­chased in the nor­mal way.

We want to give you £150. Yes. That’s right. A whole whop­ping £150 to spend on Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art from our website.

We can hear you all shout­ing “Ooh me please!”

So this is how you can enter our fun little com­pet­i­tion in the run-up to Christmas.

First of all you need to be a Coulson Macleod customer.

Then simply take a photo of your typo­graphic print hanging in your home. Aren’t we nosy?

We’ll post your pho­tos on our Face­book page, on this blog, and then when we have enough we’ll put all your pho­tos on a ded­ic­ated page on our web­site.

To get you star­ted here are some pho­tos of Penny McCormick’s apart­ment in Dubai. Penny is the editor of Emir­ates Home and her apart­ment also appeared in the 2010 issue of ‘Hot 100 Homes’ magazine (also based in the United Arab Emirates).

Now we don’t expect you to have a magazine worthy pad like Penny’s. We just want to see what our typo­graphic art looks like hanging in your home.

We’ll announce the win­ner on 10^th Decem­ber. Just in time for you to pick some­thing out for Christ­mas. Ding dong mer­rily on high!

Hope this gets you into the fest­ive spirit.

Launched today, the Coulson Macleod Gift Pack.

We’ve designed it so it doesn’t look like a last minute pur­chase. Or a ‘I haven’t got a clue what to buy. Oh a voucher will do’.

A Coulson Macleod Gift Pack is more than just a gift voucher. What you’re in fact buy­ing is a little work of art. A Coulson Macleod hand­made work of art. Simple, dis­tressed, typo­graphic… just smal­ler than usual.

We send our Gift Packs in a simple, brown, but utterly gor­geous Coulson Macleod-branded gift box. Made from recycled paper. Of course.

And inside is a unique Coulson Macleod typo­graphic art­work.

• Unique as it’s hand­made from reclaimed Vic­torian roof timbers.
• Unique as it’s white-washed by hand.
• Unique as it’s prin­ted by hand.

Of course, each of these stages brings its own slight variations.

• Each piece of wood has its own knots and cracks.
• Each paint stroke car­ries a dif­fer­ent amount of paint.
• Each hand-inked print is laid on to a dif­fer­ent sur­face tex­ture and a dif­fer­ent amount of pres­sure applied.

Res­ult­ing in a one-off piece of art. Which is what makes own­ing a Coulson Macleod so special.

Then of course we add your Gift Voucher. You can add your own per­sonal message.

Then your spe­cial someone can use their Gift Voucher as pay­ment, or part-payment, for any of the art­work on our website.

Well, that’s your Christ­mas presents sor­ted then!
