Just learned about the sad death of Emma Walker, the lady from Brighton who upcycled furniture using wallpaper and frequently appeared on Money for Nothing. I always admired her skills and wonderful imagination. Very sad and far too young - RIP Emma.flowers

Yes I saw that too Willow10 so young, a very talented lady.

Wow, she was only young and I loved her work.

EllanVannin Fri 16-Nov-18 16:58:43

Goodness me I am sorry to hear that. I was always fascinated with her talent in turning an old piece of furniture into a work of art whatever it was. Poor woman.RIP.

RIP

I saw that too. Such sad news. She was so talented and creative.

How sad, I too admired her work.
RIP Emma

Yes, me too . Only yesterday I was looking at her work online to get some tips . Terribly sad .

It was such a shock to see that tribute after watching her on the programme today. That lovely grin she always gave after enthusing about what she was planning to do with an item. I still feel hollow in the pit of my stomach. She actually inspired me to upcycle a chest of drawers in my bedroom, but unfortunately I don't know how to upload a photo on here.

Her work on two chairs was on today's show. How very sad. She had such a talent.

Such a shame. She was so talented.

Very sad news and so young

Oh I didn’t know that she had died. So sad. She always seemed so smiley and priced her transformations very reasonably.

Really sad to hear about Emma she was such a happy and bubbly person and so so talented. I send my condolences to her family.

After reading the sad news here, I Googled her and came up with a Crowd Funding page that had been started for funds to help her and her little dog Badger. Sadly there were no funds collected. I wonder what will happen to Badger now. Oh I wish I could have him.

My husband and I were fans of Emma Walker and were shocked at her death. A very talented and warm woman, she will be missed by all of us. Condolences to her family.

How sad, she seemed such a lovely, and modest, person. I too hope Badger will have been found a good home.

Hi, I am a friend of Emma's. It is lovely to see how much admiration there was for Emma and her work. Emma's death is a great loss for everyone.. She was truly one of a kind. Badger was taken in by a friend of Emma's. Don't worry about the crowdfunding. Emma was supported by many cancer charities as well as the Martlet's Hospice, and of course all of her family and friends.

Auntieflo Mon 19-Nov-18 12:03:27

Jobrighton, thank you gor coming and letting us know how things were, and about Badger.
I am so glad to hear that she was well supported. She seemed such a happy person, always smiling when we saw her. She will be missed on the programme as she was very talented, and never big headed.
RIP Emma.
