Pop up Lamps for sale !
Trade show (against the downturn in sales felt by many other traders at the show) was excellent for us! Lots of orders from small and large businesses. The pop up team has now to work hard to fulfill them . Barnabas’s vision to simplify the display, improve every product we sell with great clip on shop displays is clearly paying off! We are happy to be able to pay all our tax, vat, salaries comfortably as well as buy new wood and replacement laser tubes in January and February the hardest months for a small manufacturer in Scotland! Well done team .
I am now trying to sell my pop up through local art shops
1. The 12 product display lamp probably at £60, I can remake these to order
2. The Chaos of Angels table lamp at £120, unique one-off design!
3. The Spitfire Fury table lamp made out of an old brass shell at £150. Again a unique one off.
I wish we had space to direct sell at our own shop in North Berwick but we have too many other projects.
I expect the art shops to double the price if they take them!

8 years ago ( we started trade shows at least 10 years ago!)
What a difference in shop display, so much quicker to assemble, disassemble and all products in full colour!

Really impressed with this year’s pop up shop display at the Glasgow Scottish gift trade Show! Barnabas and Jonathan will be there for 4 days taking orders. What a great display! (Sadly H&Safety will not allow my lamp popup display as the battery charger might cause a fire 🔥!) Never mind a photo of it lit up is here. Our new range of clip on birds is displayed too!

Buckle up for the ride!
We are clipping over to Glasgow SEC (18th to 20th January)”the clipping wonderful Scottish Gift trade show” (Stand F17) where you can see our new clippie clip~on pop up birdies and more clips for our standard displays! I think you have to get a clip on entry badge to get in, and then you can clip over to see them! There is a new clip on lamp display system too! You can add any pop up models onto by clipping them in!
Clip on can get addictive. Clip, clip , alligator or crocodile clips? That’s the question.

Wishing all our customers, suppliers, shops who stock us, friends, colleagues and outlets at Fenton Barns North Berwick (Scotland where our shop and manufacturing base is located) A very Merry Christmas 2025!
Thank you for your support and the great charity work you help us fund through adopt a child and compassion uk.
We have given away a few hundred Angels to friends, family and folk who have visited us this year! We keep getting messages of proof of making in our Christmas cards, WhatsApp messages etc well done on your making all!
My present to My wonderful wife this year, is an Angel candelabra!(she has entertained and blessed many around the table for many years with delicious food !
In order to achieve my candelabra vision, I had to make 3 prototypes ( 1. A desk lamp with angelic host, 2. A tripod floor lamp with an Angel group 3. “A fury of spitfires”! This one uses a brass shell from world war 2 as a base and brought for £20 from a recycling store with pat test)
There was a lot more to it than I thought , balance, equilibrium and eeeeendless model making!! The angels would lurch sideways out of balance overnight!
Anyway final version installed yesterday over our table!?
What do you think?
People ask what we are up to!!

Thanks to the boss Barnabas and keyworker Jonathan for allowing me into pop ups factory to make them, get in the way etc
Final lamp is based on a song from the waterboys, “when you go away” a couple of lines say “your coat is made of magic and around your table the Angels play, and I’ll miss you when you go away! “ Inspirational.

We have shut up shop for Christmas and on line! (still want to do a bird lamp design though so might sneak in!)
Happy Christmas and well done if you’ve read this far!!

Just amazed by the quality and detail that one of our customers Tony has managed to add to the Glasgow Tenement kits that he has put in his diorama. Quite incredible to see what happens. Massive thanks to him, to Iain Ross the model designer and to the pop up team in North Berwick for their care in making and posting these detailed models.

Update:

Dear Pop Ups
Thank you for your continued support for our Blessing Fields project in Guatemala. We are delighted to let you know that our third Blessing Field project is now under way next to our newest programme building in Chulumal, Guatemala. After a great deal of manual labour to hand dig a well, we now have a steady supply of clean fresh water which as well as providing drinking water can also be used for irrigation, supplemented by several large underground cisterns we have installed as part of a rain water collection system. We have purchased a small tractor and have ploughed the land and planted the first crop of corn. This is an exciting development for our ministry and also the local community and school who use our facilities and will benefit from the produce grown.
Best wishes
Janis

As After a tough time with not being able to sit down and design (prolapse disc twice in 8 months) finally got around to doing a new design for 2025 Christmas!
Took it to show to one of our shops we supply (The lovely art shop at Smeaton Garden Centre, East Linton. Well worth a visit) and saw this suitably named plant. Took a photo, and then left the model by mistake! I wonder if she will disappear? Bless someone or folk will expect a free angel with each plant!
