Super duper special christmas offer x

Help me and get a super duper bargain at the same time..! Sound good? Then read on to find out more...I am longing to design some new products in the new year and have already done sketches for a 'good morning', 'good night' cushion, a trevor bear cushion with ears and some tree screen prints...I can't wait to turn my sketches into lovely new products, but alas I am running out of space in my little upside down house in Parsons Green and need to clear some space. So I have decided to have a sale to create some room for new things in the new year and also to thank my lovely customers for all their support with my business over the last six months...

So here goes with the special offers...I have reduced my lovely bird reversible shoppers and meadowsweet reversible shoppers from £20 to £6 (more info below)

Lovely bird shopper in natural cotton. Printed in peach. The lovely bird shopper is lined with co-ordinating peach stripes and is fully reversible. All shoppers come packaged in a cotton drawstring bag for snug and safe storage and with a hand printed gift tag and tiny badge to personalise.

All badges are handmade so illustrations and colours will vary but will co-ordinate perfectly with your meadowsweet shopper.

Spreading the word...x

I'm well aware that many designer makers are featured in lots of magazines and blogs but as a relatively new face on the block I'm not really at that stage yet so when my good friend sent me a photo of my name in the Evening Standard newspaper I was thrilled and this was followed my a picture of my dearest Melancholy tree cushion in West London living...yey x

Here you can see my little press snippets which will hopefully soon be joined by more as January and February are going to be all about the press release...as well as working on some new designs. I have also been featured on some really lovely blogs...please check out the links. Craft Central's blog, Amelia's magazine, the super talented jewellery designer Sarah Hallowes and last but by no means least a super lovely customer Anna, who writes a wonderful blog Creative mischief and me who wrote a simply gorgeous post about my packaging...

Thank you everybody, you have made me very happy x

Christmas fairs...x

Oh my goodness, what a busy bee I have been over the last few weeks...I am slightly worried that my poor baby will have forgotten who his mummy is, although he has been extremely well looked after by my other half and his adoring grandparents! Following on from Renegade and Spirit of Christmas I then popped over to Clerkenwell for the Craft Central open studio event and then to Notting Hill for the Design Fair...

It has been a very busy time but also extremely enjoyable. Nothing beats meeting your customers face to face and getting instant feedback on your work. I got some good constructive criticism and also lots of lovely compliments particularly on my urban garden range and cushions. I had lots of special offers as I know people are really watching their pennies at the moment and it was wonderful to see so many of you doing some of your Christmas shopping with one/of a kind boutique...

My favourite product is the melancholy tree as I love the idea of adopting a sad little tree who is all alone in the forest and giving him a cosy new home. He now comes with a 'happy face' badge in a little pouch as well as his 'glum face' badge so once you have given him lots of lovely cuddles, you can change his sad face for a more cheery one. It made me very happy to see so many melancholy trees going off to their new homes...x
