roddy&ginger - new products

I'm a big fan of roddy&ginger's work and was excited to see their new designs, including this one of a hot-air balloon. I'm eight months pregnant and have been learning lots of relaxation techniques to help me through the birth, one of which involves visualising balloons floating away, so this design seems made just for me! (And it would look so nice on our grey sofa...) Cushions cost £26 and a print of the same design £35. Both are available from their online shop. 

Herzensart by Sandra Monat

I just discovered a wonderful site called Herzensart, set up by the talented designer and handcrafter Sandra Monat. She works from her study in Bonn, Germany where she produces one-of-a-kind soft toys, as well as printed stationery and some wonderful melamine ware for children, much of which is available to buy in her online shop. Her site is definitely worth a visit!

Lots more items added to the sale!

I'm not sure about you but I'm pretty glad January is almost over, and to celebrate I've added lots more items to the Wooden donkey sale. This is our biggest sale ever, with vintage wooden puzzles now just £13 and Carlton ware money boxes at £28, so please do take a look and pick up a bargain! www.woodendonkey.bigcartel.com

Have a lovely weekend!

Alice Melvin

I'm lucky to have lots of talented creative people visiting my shop and one such person is Alice Melvin. I love her style of illustration and couldn't resist buying a few things from her shop this evening. Her 'Cut out & make' range of greeting cards are so much fun and the 'Cut out and sew' owl puppets are very cute indeed. Definitely worth a visit!

January Sales!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you enjoyed the snowy festive season. It's back to work time, but to cheer you up, I've launched the Wooden donkey winter sale. There are lots of great reductions, so please take a look. I've also added a few new items, including these great vintage coasters.
