Norman Road

Continuing in it’s path to become just Better than anywhere else (ever), Norman Road proudly welcomes the Lucy Bell Fine Art Photographic Gallery. Lucy used to have the IPG in Battle, one of the finest art Photography galleries outside of  The Smoke, and has fab shows by internationally renowned photographic artists, as well as being a founder of the Terry O’Neill Award.

The opening show, fittingly called “Ocean” is an extraordinarily  beautiful collection by Linda Leiberman. It starts on 17th Feb 2010 at 43 Norman Road, St Leonards on Sea.

Norm has a new little sister site: Hastingscreative.co.uk.

A small, but elegant site to list the deep well of talent in Norman Road, St Leonards, Hastings and the odd bits of Sussex close by.

Sooo, if you want to find a creative in the Talentosphere down here, look on hastingscreative.co.uk,
and.
If you want a listing, they’re free, (it’s all free), just add your details on the add details page.

OK, brotherly love thing for sister site over now.

Now that Christmas is done and dusted Norman Road is awake and trading again. And to show our International Cred, our commitment to BritShop and all sorts of other stuff we have a picture of a ‘geezer in a beret‘  but wearing seasonal sprouts, none of those foreign onion things.

Norman Road. Leading into the Next Decade of Shopping fun. For You!
Yay!

Are we going to have a white Christmas? All white, scrunchy and snowy; all fun out and about, red noses, glasses of good cheer…and…natch ‘o’ natch… wonderful Crimbo stuff from Norman Road? Too dang right!

Working up the food chain of delightful pressies we can start with the bestest friends’ pressies, the family mutt. Dawg’s Biscuits, Norman Road’s especial Dog Treat Emporium has Christmas treats du jour, that jour being Christmas, and are open right up to Christmas, except 22nd when they are in Tunbridge Wells.

Just up the evolutionary ladder, Kids, Love have just a fab selection of gifts for all ages including Dads. Christmas from all over the world, eco-xmas, funny-xmas, beautiful-xmas.

Xanadu have a terrific selection of Retro clothes, (I quite fancied the Leopardskin print, calf length All Star sneakers for my mum, but they’ve gone…), Skylon have 1960s, as do Why?

Some Nearly Normans/Friends of Norman are Artists and are selling fantastically desirable work: these are pressies that will last for years, give pleasure for years…worth more than just a thought in our throw away age. Check out Alex Leadbeater and Anna Keiller

For Pressy pressies there is McCarrons of Mercatoria, a veritable universe of prettiness.

And then there are the antique shops, the galleries, the places to refresh, the far-from-the-madding-crowd ambience, and last, but not least for fabulous felted goods, brooches, necklaces and scarves there is the wonder of Nunovalenki.

The first Christmas ‘do’ of the season is this Friday.
