HAPPY SPACES LOVE THE BIG DRAW

October is Big Draw month in twenty countries and on five continents.

This is a fantastic initiative that was launched in 2000 and inspires both young and old to get scribbling and unleash their inner creative flair!

This year there are a multitude of events taking place for all ages most of which are free (always good news). Click here to take a look at events by area and see what’s on next and where to sign up!

For those in London, don’t miss the FREE BIG DRAW FESTIVAL, taking place on October 22nd and 23rd across a host of venues, including, Southwark Cathedral, Hays Galleria, The Scoop, Unicorn Theatre and Potter’s Field Park. We are especially excited to witness the annual battle of the cartoonists taking place at 3:15 on the Saturday, where UK’s top cartoonists compete to make the funniest banner of all time and share some of their trade secrets!

They instantly chose to feature works by their favourite artists, Sandra Isaksson and Ingela P Arrhenius.Thanks for the thumbs-up Bambino Goodies! Read the full post here

Visit Happy Spaces at the Autumn Fair

Red and orange crunchy leaves, cool breezes, spooky pumpkins, funny shaped vegetables, that bonfire smell and slippers. Yes, autumn is here. We’re celebrating the start of this fabulous season with FabulousPlaces.co.uk by exhibiting our beautiful wall art for kids at their Autumn Food and Gift Fair. The event will be held at the gorgeous Makeney Hall in Derbyshire. With loads of gift and food stalls, yummy lunches or afternoon tea and lots of fun things for the little ones, it’s sure to be a fabulous day out. We hope to see you there.

Celebrate with Happy Spaces

Ahoy there me hearties! The 19th of September marks ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’ (yes, you read that correctly, this is an actual, genuine international event!). It started as a joke by 2 Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers in 2002 but since then it has continued to gain momentum and is now celebrated the world over.

We can’t think of anything better than a whole day devoted to fun and silliness, so Happy Spaces will be donning bandanas and eye patches, hoisting Jolly Rogers and shouting ‘ARRR’ all day long. Why not join in the fun by roping in the whole family to party like pirates from sun up ‘til sun down and be sure to send us your photos.

And when the party is over, the pirate magic can continue for your little ones with these gorgeous pirate designs from our collection.





So ‘batten down the hatches’ and prepare yourself for a day of swashbuckling fun! Sunday’s kiddie entertainment, DONE!

Recycle your wrapping - clever craft project

Because our art is special to us and we love to make you happy, when you a purchase a Happy Spaces canvas it comes beautifully wrapped with coloured tissue paper, satin ribbon and a specially designed postcard of the artwork you ordered.

We were so excited when the lovely Daisy and William sent us these beautiful photos of a fun craft project that they decided to do when they received a canvas from Happy Spaces. Using our packaging they each created a gorgeous posy of spring blossoms. Not only do we applaud their fantastically creative flair and ingenious idea, we love that our wrapping was able to keep on giving fun. Here they are showing off their very beautiful flowers!



If you or your little ones have any other fun ideas, please let us know by sending us your photos.
