557-561 Battersea Park Road, SW11 3BL London, United Kingdom
Poor Marc was up to his eye balls at the end of November making goodie bags for the “Grand Launch” of W E Interiors, in Battersea run by his partner Rick with Rick’s sister Lynn.
The Worshipful Mayor of Wandsworth was there to cut the ribbon and the shop was jammed packed with guests and potential customers. I wish I could have been there, especially to see all of Rick and Lynn’s hard work and attention to detail come to fruition, it would have been so exciting!
……. but at least I can say that I expertly priced some of the vases and candlesticks on my last visit that were on show and for sale !!!
Since I was there I can see from the pictures that Rick and Lynn have added a lot more beautiful stock …..
…… including several pictures by “The Artist to the Stars”, John Lee Bird, who sent me a portrait of my monkey Darrell on his birthday …… and you’ll never know how rare and fantastic that honour was!
Hopefully I will be able to have another mooch around on my next visit, hopefully in February, especially as I have my eye on a pair of glass jars and a couple of cushions
Oh …… I almost forgot ….. Marc’s goodie bags! 
Marc doesn’t do anything by halves …… I just hope he saved me one! Everything was carefully put together to reflect the “corporate” colours of W E Interiors, with Marc’s unique flair ……
…… including his beading and pins ….. and flair for using Spellbinder dies.
….. and Elizabeth Shaw mints!!! The little stockings (Primark) contained more goodies, including W E Interior key rings and more sweeties!
As I said, it won’t be long before I am back …. I just need to persuade Rick that perhaps having an attractive Brummie sales assistant who is prepared to drape herself (discretely) over some of the glamorous pieces of furniture is just what W E Interiors needs to welcome and make it’s showbiz clientele feel at ease and at home !!!!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and great shout out and plug i can assure Rick and Lyn Are very touched and over the moon with what you have said i am sure that they will be in touch and who knows you could be on the way to being a part of the team they hope to have a product of the month and to be show casing up and coming trends and designers artists and crafts persons before they become to popular and out of the price range of most peps in fact you can pick up a John lee Bird painting or other object of art at half his normal show/gallery prices soon he will be displaying/selling Ceramics by a Artist who has already had several pieces displayed and taken by the A&V Museum but who has never sold to the public before only ever done commissioned art but rick has managed to get him to do a few one of bits for the shop at prices every one can afford but that all hush hush and i have said to much but i am sure he will be in contact with Helen to give her a snack preview lol dont tell him i said any thing me and my mouth lol big love and thanks again Helen marc
