an addition to our nest

sunny days, ice-creams, holidays, smiles and a new baby girl, Coco Agnes.
Coco is now one month old and happily enjoying her cloud cuckoo designs textiles!
From our first collection launched in 2008 she happily lies on one of the first playmats in the garden.
Organic laundry bags from our 2010 range are rapidly being filled by both girls and Coco has also enjoyed the blankets and vests :)
Our friends from Merryberry sent one of their adorable hats too.
Pics to be added very berry soon.......

googling for Lucy Casson and her gorgeous character pieces I came across abbot and ellwood, in the past I have purchased lots of their pins for gifts, but hey look at their larger pieces, simply divine,mmmmm can I have a gift to myself? .............

32 sleeps till christmas

and this got me thinking...... family, friends, festive cheer, decorations.....
it all started when i came down to see Neil and Maudie watching Muppets Christmas Carol early this morning.
now i'm really starting to get excited. so between work and waiting for print outs i got searching and here are a few finds that i came across by some sellers on noths, how jolly. enjoy

molly-meg

I'm a huge fan of "Molly-Meg" and now my little maudie is big enough, she too can enjoy these wonderful vintage chairs - and better still now stay on them.
Specialising in designs from the 1950s to the present, Molly-Meg aims to show the best of contemporary design along with vintage classics, creating a perfect combination which kids will love and that will evoke nostalgia among parents.
Later this month we look forward to working alongside Molly and some of her 'miniature classics' so will bring you more news then..... in the meantime be sure to check out Molly-Meg and I bet childhood memories will come flooding back

Review

We are delighted and very excited by the wonderful review we have received from Natalie at Bambino Goodies and Nest Goodies. Enjoy the read and a BIG thank you :)

Top Drawer - thank you

Well, the day after is here again, and I'd just like to say thank you to all that called by the stand at Top Drawer, we had a super show, and new ORGANIC product was met with great enthusiasm. Big thank you for the write ups we've had so far, very much appreciated and great to here the positive feedback. We took on lots of new accounts and for those regulars who stopped by it was as always great to see you. I know a few who couldn't make it or couldn't get on the stand so for those here are a few additional images of the products. New card range I'll report on and add images later. Thanks again, best, claire :)

Top Drawer 13-15 Sept

Looking forward to seeing you next month at Olympia for Top Drawer Autumn, the great show where you can select and buy you pre-christmas stock. We're very excited to be bringing lots of new collections with us. We'll post again before the show with more news. Anyone who can't make it be sure to drop us a line and we can get a catalogue to you. Enjoy, cloud cuckOO

Beautiful papers whilst in search of a new home

Whilst continuing the travels around the South-West country last week in search of a potential new home I did as always get side tracked but can you blame me.... I came across Jurianne Matter and her wonderful paper-works, she is now one of my favorite paper designers. I couldn't help but buy her creations and what better the boats and lanterns simple sum up summer, boats by day and soft light by night - lovely lovely.

we love print

as a textile print designer I get so excited seeing new prints and of course classic vintage too, mini moderns vintage prints are fab, made me think of my nanna and a real comfy tiny sofa she had.

I've just completed another range of scandi-esque prints so clean and fresh and a great contrast to our cloud cuckoo card style. Orla Kiely has gorgeous prints always and just love the above from her spring 09 collection

Thanks to all our visitors and buyers

We're very excited to receive all our new pieces and will be getting them ready to be sent out to all our buyers.
It was lovely to see you all at Pulse and we had a great show. Hope you all had a super time too.
The new giftwrap was a huge success and we're now working hard with all new requests. Have a great weekend and enjoy the stock when it arrives next week!
