Norman Road challenges L’Europe

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!

Cripes! Crispy Christmas?

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.

Get the Felting

sign135NunoValenki: Wonderful felt necklaces, brooches and scarves, to be seen, and felt, to be believed. shake2
Norman Road is changing and refining eclectically, and we are going to welcome some Norman Neighbours: people who are nearby but don't fit in any category known to Norman. Artists, Book publishers and karmic creatives will all be here.
The Bloomsbury of the south coast, thats what we are now. Allegedly.

Nearly Normans
There are a few "Nearly Normans" here: places so cool, and so close that they just had to be included.

Creative Norms
Creative Norms abound, altho', being creative, are a little backward in coming forward. We have logged a couple, painter and publisher, and know of more... Please watch this space: CREATIVES

Friends of Norm
Friends of Norman, (FONs), are too numerous to be left alone any more. Artists, musicians, shop owners, ...anyone with a connection and a Norman friend can be found here, enriching the Norman Experience far, far beyond the bounds of 1066. And all that.
Fun FONs here
