Laurence Llewelyn Bowen
What an interesting week it has been! On Tuesday Morning the flamboyant Mr Laurence Llewelyn Bowen came swanning into our shop wearing his signature long black leather trench coat & designer shades, hair floating in the breeze, 'twas a sight to behold, on a dismal Autumnal day on Aigburth Vale!
Gazing up at the ceiling he remarked "What a magnificent array of Chandeliers!!!" ............
"You must have chandeliers from every era!!" he gushed!
Besotted by a huge Rococo Lantern, he began to tell me he had been recommended to come & see us, as he was filming for ITV1, a new series called "House Gift", where homeowners make a wish for several items for their home, three designers then go out to purchase gifts within their budget, the homeowners then choose their favourite gift.
(Luckily for us,we had a visit from Laurence, who, as I was later to discover, had the highest budget !)
Accompanied by a small film crew he proceeded to explore our little Aladdin's Cave!
After spending best part of the morning having a good mooch and filming, they left to search for more locations. Within an hour I received a phone call to ask if they could return, as "Laurence was really taken with Quiggins" The rest of the day was spent in turmoil filming Laurence purchasing a beautiful Art Deco chandelier & a huge Rococo Mirror.
Laurence was such good fun and absolutely charming!
A welcome change from a dreary drizzly Tuesday! & more so, a great publicity boost for Quiggins AttiQue!
