A long weekend
This weekend was a nice long one. On Saturday morning we went to John Lewis and bought the new computer. We’d decided not to freight my g5 and cinema display over this time as it was all just so big – a new iMac would fit much better in the little cottage. So we now…

All the things I want to write about
(but don’t have time to) Do you know I get up, get ready, leave the house by 7.45am. Get to work around 9am after I’ve been and got a proper flat white from the Spitalfields Coffee House. Work until 5.45 or 6pm and get home around 7.15pm. Then we cook and eat by about 8.15pm…

Craft again
Last week I finally managed to get myself to Cloth House. I’d been in once for a three minute scout while Kevin and Astrid had waited outside. This time I had all the time in the world. I was so amazed by the simple loveliness of the fabrics, the buttons and trims were just too…

Putumayo World Music
When Putumayo got in touch asking if I’d have a listen to some of their music and write about it on my blog I more than happily agreed. Putumayo is a very cool record label specialising in World Music. They also do kids music – and I knew Astrid would love that! I’m a bit…

Window shopping…
It’s funny what the clicking of one link can lead to. A link via Blair’s flickr led me to Swallowfield, and one thing led to another and we’ll have this lovely print waiting for us when we arrive in London. And so another thing led to another thing and this is how my quest to…

Ashley G
Every good blogger must have an Ashley G, so this was my second port of call in my shop quest. I just adore the family sweet family print, and the idea of the story time print is also very beautiful. family sweet family and story time by Ashley GÂ

Lisa S. + Lisa C.
I’d seen Lisa’s first letterpress print ages ago, and in my quest last week I found my way back to her shop, admiring her beautiful hand-stitched prints. And at Lisa Congdon’s shop I found some beautiful cards on sale. They’d be very nice framed as a set. I love all of them. top: the tenderhearted…

Blissen
I’ve loved Jill Bliss‘ style of drawing for a very long time now. Hers was one of the first four links on my blog way back at the very beginning. So in my quest for all the good handmade, blogland shops I liked, of course hers was to be included. If I had to pick…
