Last October, I sat beside a Young Lady at the introduction day at the Church Street Craft Market in Ballymena Business Centre in Church Street for the very first time and immediately I liked her.
She was so full of life, it was bursting from her. When she spoke it was like a light in the darkness, She radiated Life and she is full of it, when she talks to you, it's as quick as the words come out, she is like an overflowing fountain. After talking to her, you feel the same.
And I still didn't know her name
Her name is Gemma Lowry.
A Graduate from Ulster University in Belfast, she started her own Company
Laird & Gillie
And in That Title, there is a story also.
She uses Fabrics and Tweeds to make the most Beautiful Cushions, Pictures, Etc.
She is now working on launching her Dog Collars & Coats Line, aided by her faithful Model Millie, shown here modelling a New Coat & Collar.
:)
Here is just some of the colours of Irish & Scottish Tweeds, that Gemma uses
Below are a small selection of her Designs.
A Selection of Pictures, Dog Collars (Millie posing again) & Cushions
( The Black & White Cushion was taken from a Photo of the Dog & was
Gemma's very first U.S. order)
Check out her bespoke work on Facebook
A Beautiful bag for Stuff, We all need one of them.

I love this collection of Cushions

A Recent Fair that Gemma attended
Another Stag Cushion. I love the band of

Another Stag Cushion, but with a different design
A Tweed Winter Outside Doggie Coat.
I could tell you the story of how her business got it's name, but I think you should ask her, herself.
Gemma does Bespoke Orders
She also has her creations to sell in The Church Street Craft Market,
in Church Street. Ballymena
OH ! and don't forget to ask her about Hector :)
