Loving The Performers

As a fan of Famille Summerbelle and the lovely Julie I was not disappointed when I logged on and read the recent post showing the latest collection "The Performers". I also feel very happy as I now feel I've found 'the cushion' for the nursery! Also a mug or two for me!

If you'd like any of these products by Famille Summerbelle pop across to their website (link above) to be treated to a great assortment of products with great shipping prices too.

If you're looking to be a stockist and visiting Maison et Objet go by their stand and get a real treat by viewing the collection for yourself.

Kitty's new dress & cheese with Mabel & Birdie

One of our new ranges this year is the 'Mini-Boo' collection.
At a recent trade show Kitty, Mouse & Bird alongside the others enjoyed the limelight.
In the range so far we have 12 greeting card designs, all 125mm x 175mm and blank inside for your own message, the characters all have a story to tell and a personality of their own, here we share some of their daily do's.

Kitty just loves shopping, last week she found this delightful spotty dress when she went on a wander and found herself in Dixies Department store on the feline fashion floor.
After her shopping spree she went to see her friend Mabel.....

Kitty found Mabel doing what Mabel does best.... foraging around her kitchen looking for cheese, not any old cheese like most mice would be happy with but Mabel's very special cheese 'Made by Mabel'. Mabel has been making cheese for some time now and you should see her cheese cupboard; well if she lets you!

A little birdie told me that if Mabel invites you into her cheese cupboard you will see the most wonderful treats, Birdie often gets invited because Birdie is the most tidy clean busy birdie of all and just loves pecking and collecting delicious little cheese crumbs.

We look forward to you meeting our other animal friends, there is a tiger, a monkey, an owl, a pair of bears, a bambi with the best boots and more......

All our characters are also available as large format prints ready to be framed.

letter prints, badges and more.......

New designs are done but we decided to hold back for a few more weeks before we sell to trade at PG LIVE show with some of the new card ranges. However with such enthusiasm for our "round - friends" and requests for additional products we've now added, notebooks, badges, wrap and pictures and will be adding these to our NOTHS shopfront for you to buy in the next week or so.
So here is a little preview of the prints and badge pack, planning a little photo shoot of these hopefully over the bank hol so we can share more then.

Top Drawer Spring

Tuesday afternoon took me to Top drawer as a visitor rather than exhibitor, strange being the other side of the fence but good too. To keep to timings we were pleased to still launch a new card range just before the show and this has been meet with great enthusiasm.
As our new range features humble home owls 'Tweet & Twoo' I was taken by some other lovely owls on show by Olive and Moss, Petra Boase and new company Owaboo

In addition to the owls other lovely finds were; simplistic clean designs for babies from Fabric of the Universe, a new company based in Edinburgh
Thornback and Peel had gorgeous sketch hand printed textiles used across a range of products including baby tops, might NEED one for my little Maudie!!

Finally an old classic and inspiration to many SCP have the amazing work of Alexander Girard as plywood prints and here is my favourite Madonna
'Blossom & Bob' from ISAK is sure to follow in the success as this too is fab and as always they too had a great stand
