DECO MANIA

Well it certainly has been a busy week in DHQ, we have been up to all sorts from creating more jewellery to add to our accessories collection to putting exciting plans into place for our upcoming pop up shop to be held in Lagos.

We would like to share with you today a short film featuring four of our monsters. This film was made by 2 of our fans - Amber and Amelia - DECO thinks this film is fantastic and thanks to you both, you certainly are stars of the future.

DECO STATE OF MIND

To continue with our jewelry obsession this week we thought we would share with you a few of our inspirational finds.......

FOR THE LOVE OF DECO

DHQ do hope you have all been having (or are still having) a lovely Valentine's day. In keeping with the theme of the day we would like to share something with you that we love, our hidden gems as such! We invite you to take a look at a snippet of our latest jewelled brooches and head bands. Each piece shows our marvelous craftsmanship and attention to design. These accessories are guaranteed to give any outfit that extra bit of glamour. Enjoy!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY.......PRONUNCIATION

Whilst catching up with old friends at DHQ, we came onto the subject of a place called "Stanstead Mountfitchet". Now excuse yourself, if like us, you pronounced it phonetically. According to DECO's dear friend Bil, it's actually pronounced "Mountfishaaaaay" - hmmm does Bil have a case of Hyacinth Bouquet / Bucket?? Anyway whilst trying to dispute the pronunciation of this picturesque village (with the help of good old google) we stumbled across the Mountfitchet Garden Club and we think their photos of hedge sculptures are quite fantastic!.......have a look. Mountfitchet Garden Club, DECO salutes your finds!!
