New in The Shop & Other Trifling Matters

We're all over our malaise now, phew and hooray. And looking forward to another sunny sunny (carbooty) weekend. Yes!

Excitingly there are a few new things in the shop.








And in other news. After a conversation with a real life trained proper photographer friend about my colour collections, I have decided to re-shoot them all. Yes. All.



You see, I would still really like to get some postcards and prints made. Unfortunately, the light in the original images was simply not good enough to do that. And I also had the bright idea to use my newly repainted letter press tray which gives it a more formal and curated vibe. Nice, no?

Now I find myself re-griped by a colour obsession and scouring the house for all things red, blue, green, yellow and orange etc.. I will show you some more as I go.




OH! And see the cherry blossom? It's just beginning, this tree was early, but round the corner are about 6 old cherry trees all in a line, and I can't wait for them to get their pom-poms on!



Have a jolly & sunny weekend!

Yay to the colour collections!
I was inspired by you the other day actually. I inherited an amazing button collection and the first thing I was itching to do was to organise them on my floor in little colour groups! Such a satisfying activity.

How nice to make some cards from your collection photos! I have been making some color collections as well. The photography can be tricky - getting the color, dimension, and detail right. Good luck with the project!

The blossom! Our little fruit trees we planted last year are now all festooned in their frou-frou frocks. Don't care if they don't fruit, they just look so purdy right now.

And yes, tea with you and Iris would be most lovely this week... I'll phone x
