Bee happy .... a visit to Clovelly in North Devon

Mr Happy and I have just spent a couple of days in North Devon.

We visited Clovelly for the first time and even though it was raining we had a great day there.

We found Ann Jarvis Designs/Clovelly Silk in the Lower Yard.


 Ann Jarvis Designs/Clovelly Silk is run by Ann and her husband Bill with their daughter Ellie.

Inside was full of wonderful fabrics and scarves which had been screen printed.




This is where Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer had a go at screen printing for their TV programme 'Kirstie & Phil's Perfect Christmas'




Ann and Bill

Ann and Bill were so lovely and friendly and Bill showed me the huge printing table and screen print frame that they use which you can see in the picture behind them.

Courses for screen printing are run here and are very popular but it is a shame that we were only here for one day otherwise I would have booked myself in :)

I made a couple of purchases which Bill kindly wrapped carefully for me to keep them safe on the journey home.







My own screen printing set.





Ann and Bill also gave me a few samples of their printing.




This design is Clovelly itself and can be seen on their website in more detail.

Stay tuned for more photos of our North Devon adventure and some screen printing.

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
