I was delighted to find out this week that I had been selected amongst six other talented designers and makers as one of Theo Paphitis's (of Dragon's Den fame) Small Business Sunday winners.

#SBS Winner - Morvenna - Unique Scottish artwork for distinctive living

The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.

I am really hoping that this fantastic boost will make the world of difference to my business. I have already been welcomed into the fantastic and super friendly #sbs community on Twitter and Instagram.

Do check out the other fantastic winners from this week:

https://www.rosiehayceramics.co.uk/ - beautiful ceramics from fellow Scotland based artist Rosie Hay.

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheCraftyNoo - fabulous handmade polymer clay creations.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Daintydoo - Dainty Doo - beautiful felt creations.

https://www.sistersister.biz/ - fabulous illustrations, gifts and ceramics.

https://www.heartandsoulcandles.co.uk/ - beautiful candles and wax melts.

We have all been profiled on the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.

Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said:

“We are thrilled to welcome new #SBS members every week and highlight just how important it is to support our small businesses here in the UK. My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish

Anyone looking for a re‐tweet from Theo should tweet him about their business on Sunday between 5 PM and 7.30 PM and include the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses are re‐tweeted every Monday at 8 PM and then invited to enter their profile on the new website, attend the annual #SBS networking event and take advantage of the networking opportunities.

I have also just entered the Theo Paphitis Art Prize with my original artwork - the Cup of Life. I painted this design in the middle of the pandemic, and as the theme for the competition is 'Escapism' - I hope this artwork evokes with the judges how painting such a hopeful piece in dark times can bring brightness into the darkest of seasons.
