Shop and Swap News

Have you seen that I am advertising on Tea For Joy? I am really quite excited about it. And for a limited time only, any TFJ readers can enjoy a 10% discount on any purchase. What are you waiting for?!

So, speaking of shop(s), I have also just opened a shop on etsy, shoplepetitboutique, this was just an experiment really, to see which worked better, etsy or big cartel. It seems that etsy has more footfall (even without me doing a single thing to promote it) but I like the look of big cartel. So for the time being the shops (although separate) will carry the same stock but I am intending that the etsy branch will focus more on vintage things you can wear. Let me know if there are any items you'd like to see in either shop and a-hunting I will go.

And what of the much-discussed swaps, I hear you cry? Pictured below before dispatch.




Well, look here, and you can see exactly what Laura thought of hers and of course, what was in her package. And here to peek into Artemis's parcel. A success! I'm very pleased. Also Francesca from Mrs Elliot Books liked the parcel I sent for the attention of little Gus. Now, I still have two more to do, but I'm basking in a glow of vintage-giving happiness right now, let me tell you.

And to top it all off, on Saturday, I received a very sweet parcel from Nina. A few weeks ago, I bought a dress on her behalf and this was my reward. Such lovely things. A gingham apron for Iris. And this house flash card.



and a book for me. With lovely illustrations and retro photographs..





And just the prettiest card and packaging ever.



Owls - my favourite!



Thank you Nina!
