Thank you to Megan for contacting us this morning for some pics of Simon's fab coasters for Australian Magazine Homespun. We really look forward to seeing the October issue.
Australia seems to be calling us in so many ways over the last few years. We also have Australian Karen Rigby (the voice of calm & sanity) to help us with admin. As creatives this is our weakest link!

MUG SHOTS

Some before & afters of the process & deliberations of how to put customers personalisations onto end products. When we can if there is any doubt we try & check with the customer what they would prefer. This can get tricky at Christmas time....

Purse Idea...

We are just developing a purse idea. Would be a much cuter ribbon zip pull than shown here. Not personalised....& beautifully made in England by a fantastic family firm who have made all our other accessories. Just about to order some fabric...what do you think?






Just for Barbara!

A personalised mug for Barbara. I am confident that Mr Wood does not follow our blog so I hope I am not spoiling the suprise but for some reason my screen shot of this proof for a bespoke version of the lab mug is not showing for Barabara, so here is it for you all to see & for Barbara to check which side she prefers.....

Presenting our competition winner...

So delighted for Di who's husband Nigel was our 200th likers of the page & won a personalised cushion. They chose this lab cushion & added some great words. We think she is a natural on film & obviously missed her vocation as a TV presenter!!!!

How do you do Bruno!


We were honored to be visited yesterday at DogFest by Bruno who is somewhat of a celeb in the doggy world. We think he needs a placemat to suit his lifestyle.
Thank you Bruno for coming to see us & top paws : ) x

Lost Scottie trying to fine Miss A Hase!

 Looking for Miss A. Hase at Dog Fest 22.6.2015
Urgently trying to find a lovely customer who left us without her Scottie cushion & other bits at Dog Fest Yesterday. They were bagged & on the desk but not picked up. We rushed out a minute after she had left but to no avail in the sea of dogs & people we could not find her. Sadly she did not leave an email with her credit card purchase so we can not contact her through paypal. If she can get in touch we will post & reunite her with this lost Scottie cushion....

The Very rare Dandie Dinmont!

This little Dandie headed for the most stylish boutique of the day (obviously!) & did a very good job at trying to recline & be notices as an artists muse! Even comes with his own Tartan, what more could you want!

The Dandie Dinmont Terrier took its name from a character in a novel written by Sir Walter Scott in 1814, but the dogs were around long before that. Known as Mustard and Pepper Terriers, describing their two colour varieties, they were highly prized as working terriers in the Scottish borders, where they were sent to ground after rabbits, rats, foxes, otters and badgers among others. They were often owned by gypsies and poachers - and in fact all the Dandies around today are descended from a poacher's dog found in a trap on the Duke of Buccleuch's estate - in 1839!
