LITTLE Hallingbury interiors and soft furnishings designer Charlotte Clemence will be selling her homewares at a fund-raising sale in Sawbridgeworth on February 4.

The 35-year-old mum will be among several London-based designers who will be selling their prints, cushions, cards, kid’s clothes and toys at discounted prices at Abstract at The Maltings in Station Road from 9am to 4pm.

Other exhibitors will include children’s specialist Pookie and Peach and printmaker Samantha Morris.

A percentage of the profits will be donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), where Charlotte recently met its new Royal patron, the Duchess of Cambridge, as reported in the Observer.

The hospice provided support for Charlotte and her husband Grant, 38, following the death of their baby daughter Fleur just four days after she and twin sister Sophia, now eight months, were born in May last year.

Chelsea flower show Little Hallingbury Flower Club has been picked to exhibit in the floral design marquee at next week's Chelsea Flower Show.
