<p>Today I decided it was time I updated my Press page and back-tracked all of the very kind features and mentions I have received over the past few years &#8211; mostly off bloggers from all over the world.<br />
It&#8217;s such a nice feeling to know that somebody has taken the time to write about your work, and I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has interviewed me, promoted my work, and given me a little mention here and there.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve tried my best to find all the mentions I could, but if you have blogged about me and I&#8217;ve missed you out then please tell me and I&#8217;ll gladly add you!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">10 long days came to an end yesterday when I returned home from the Grand Designs Live show in London. The show went really well, meeting lots of lovely customers and fellow exhibitors along the way.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My new range of cushions, including the new &#8216;Friti&#8217; print were a big hit, which I&#8217;m really pleased about. Lots of people were also asking when fabric will be available by the metre; I&#8217;m working hard to get this ready for you asap, I will notify all when the shop has been updated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 20% off I offered on all products seemed to go down really well, so I&#8217;ve decided to keep it going on my online shop for the next two weeks!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to everyone who visited my stand, stopped and spoke to me, joined my mailing list, and all of my friends and family who offered their help and support during this very busy week!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong><a href="http://www.abigailborg.co.uk/catalog/" target="_blank">All orders received between the 10th &#8211; 24th May will receive 20% off! Visit the shop now</a></strong></span></p>
