Super Seconds Festival

I'M TAKING PART!

GRAB A BARGAIN!

Sign up to my newsletter for early access & discount codes!

The UK's biggest online Seconds and Samples Sale is taking place across the 7th and 8th March 2026.

Lots of independent makers have seconds, samples, misprints, or end of line stock that they’d like to see go to a good home at seriously discounted prices. This event is the perfect opportunity to pick up a bargain from your favourite indie business!
To find out what I’ll be selling and how to buy from me, scroll down. 
I’ve also popped some more info about the event and a link to the Super Seconds website at the bottom of this page.

As with last year's event, my SSF products will be split across my website and my Etsy shop.
And this year, to celebrate my 50th year around the sun, you can get a
whopping 50% off full priced prints if you sign up for my newsletter!

Selection of images for the Super Seconds Festival.

WHERE TO BUY …OPTION 1

On my website, you will be able to buy the following:
  • Retired A4 print designs 
  • Mounted A3 print seconds
  • Landscape print seconds in A3 and A4
  • Ex-exhibition pieces including original paintings and framed prints
  • New product samples
  • Card packs
If you’re purely looking for one of my digital collage landscapes, then staying put on my website and clicking through to the Super Seconds Festival section of my shop will take you to a whole host of designs that have been discounted.

The majority of prints have a teeny tiny blemish in the margin that I’ve been unable to remove. Others might have a dog-eared corner, a colour discrepancy, or have been trimmed slightly smaller than standard sizes.

Use the code: SUPERSECONDS for 25% off full-priced prints!

Prices include p&p and prints come wrapped in tissue paper and decorative ribbon/string.

Not included in my sale: framed prints and limited editions.

WHERE TO BUY … OPTION 2

On Etsy, you will find the following:

  • End of line textiles (cushion covers, scarves, and tea towels)
  • Older print designs and cards
  • Sample landscape prints

In sorting out my stock, ready for this event, I have found a few more gorgeous velvet cushion covers – something I designed and created when I first started my business in 2021.

The cushion covers are super soft and vibrant, with designs that come from some of my early original paintings. There are also a tiny amount of lawn cotton scarves, and a few ‘Mardy Bum tea towels.

Use the code: SUPERSECONDS for free shipping on orders over £15.

The prints that you’ll find on Etsy are a combination of older designs, many very suited to children’s bedrooms, and the landscape collage prints you’ll discover, are actually early print samples on lovely textured paper.

If you sign up to my newsletter, you’ll receive a code to use for free shipping on Etsy (no min’ spend), as well as gaining early access to my sale for first dibs!

Happy shopping!

What is a 'Second'?

Super-Seconds-Festival-Grid-of-Example-Defects

Misprints, blemishes, colour discrepancies, and dog-eared corners …

Perfectly imperfect, ‘seconds’ are products that have not quite passed our quality checks and may contain the following:

  • a small blemish or ink spot in the white borders;
  • a dog-eared corner;
  • a colour discrepancy.
More Information:

Ink spot: Sometimes, when tiny droplets of rogue ink end up where they should not, a print will carry a slight imperfection. However, many are so tiny, you can barely spot them, while others can be hidden behind a mount.

Dog-eared corner(s): These will be hidden once settled inside a frame.

Colour discrepancy: Differences in colour can occur when using different printers. These seconds with a slightly ‘off’ colour were sample prints. There’s nothing wrong with them per se, they just differ from the intended colours of the original designs.

The image shows examples of tiny blemishes in the white borders.
