New Range For 2014 is Here

Christmas came early on a sunny day in Devon last week when our eagerly anticipated new range of products arrived safe and sound from Egypt.

A gorgeous photo shoot is organised for a few days time to show off our lovely new things so that we're ready to go with the launch of the new website and online shop.

Holistic Uses

'The ancient Egyptians called alabaster the stone of the “Sun Gods”. They believed if they were buried with it, the stone would draw their souls back toward the light.'

We came across a wonderful article written by an Intuitive Spiritual Healer recently.

 It makes for interesting reading about the history of the stone dating back to the Pharoah's, and it's use in Holistic Medicine.

We are attending the Taunton Holistic & Craft event at the Castle Hotel in Taunton on  28th & 29th June this year, and are looking forward to finding out more.

Out & About

We are on the final countdown to our new order arriving in the UK ,with all hands making sure the new products will receive a warm welcome.

  Our first Event with the new range will be Salisbury Guildhall on 3rd June.

The Origin of Our Products

All our Alabaster is sourced from deposits in Egypt, as it is the rock here that is especially attractive with it's impressive banding.

Rough Stone Before Selection and Carving

Workshops in and around Giza take the rough stone and carve a variety of products as they have done for thousands of years.
Although we now have the benefit of some power tools, supporting the skill of these men and women ensures that original techniques are not lost and this special stone is appreciated around the world.

Mother Knows Best

We rarely have to look any further than Mother Nature to find true effortless beauty. The calcium deposits in the rock give these vases their banded appearance, and as alabaster is one of the few translucent stones we can create a totally different look for an evening WOW factor.

Classic, Natural, Unique.        

Other Uses

Did you know that Alabaster can also be used in the production of paint ??    When mixed with quartz, the paint is known as a Vermeer.  Lovely colours !!!

Lovely venue for photo's with benefits

We spent a few hours at The Mount Pleasant Inn yesterday taking some new pics. of our alabaster globes in situ.
Seemed such a shame to go straight home so had a sneaky scampi and chips with the family.
Thank you to Karen and everyone at the MP for being so great.           Fabulous food too !!!!!
