Minecraft Crazy!

If you have kids there's a good chance you've heard of the game Minecraft.  The game is extremely popular with kids and big kids alike and is a world wide phenomenon.  The creator Markus Persson just recently sold the company to Microsoft for $2.5 Billion and has been in the news recently for outbidding Beyonce and Jay-Z for a home in LA paying a whopping $70 million for it! You can click here to see some pictures of this fantastic house.
Anyway, Minecraft Crazy kids like their bedroom to be decorated with a Minecraft theme (including my niece and nephew) so our 'Pixel' curtains and cushion covers have been perfect for this.  We've had a great response to them on our Facebook page  with customers sending in pictures of their Minecraft themed bedroom to thank us for our Pixel blackout curtains and to show off their room creations.  One customer went as far as buying the curtains for the fabric and using the fabric to make a chair cover.  The result was very impressive as you can see.

Here are some more pictures of Minecraft theme rooms people have posted to our Facebook page.  Our curtains come in three colours.  Blue, Brown and Green.

If you are interested in purchasing our Pixel curtains please visit our website www.curtainsdirect2u.co.uk

Feel free to post a link to a picture of your own Minecraft room creation.  We would love to see it.



 

Charity

At the beginning of last year we decided it would be great if we could donate some of our profits to a worth while cause.  After some deliberating we came to the decision to donate to Cancer Research UK. This was  in part due to the fact that a close friend of the MD had just died of cancer and that cancer effects so many people.  We started with an initial donation of £500 and hoped by the end of the year we could donate a whole lot more.  To our delight we were able to donate another £4500 to bring the total to £5000.  Our JustGiving page of the donations can be viewed here www.justgiving.com/John-Aird/
We also decided a fun picture to document the feat was in order (See below).
A year has passed and we are now deliberating again to decide what worth while cause will get the donation this year.  We are only a small family run business but we hope we can grow our business and our charity contributions.
Thank you to all our customers over the year for buying from us and making this possible.

Our History

Hello and welcome to our new blog.  My name is Andrew and I am one of the directors at curtainsdirect2u.  Myself and some of my colleagues will hopefully be able to inspire and help you with all your textile needs and of course have some fun.

To get us started I have inserted the picture of our history storyboard so you can get to know what we're all about a bit better.  For instance our parent company John Aird & Co Ltd started way back in 1896!
