TADA! A new print range!

TADA_stamp_inking
We have been busy DODOs lately producing a brand new range of fun relief prints. (Check them all out in the Etsy shop!) As always each little print is designed to raise a smile. We've hand cut our own set of stamps, add a roller covered in messy ink and TADA! :o) 

We set out to create a set of happy smiley prints great as affordable little presents. Each handmade print is just £4!

Everyone loves a bit of magic. In the blink of an eye we've turned the letter 'T' into a rabbit filled top hat! :o)

Each print has it's own markings and textures that adds to the magic. We have just fallen in love with this new process and the final print finish. More bright and chirpy designs coming soon...

The First Fairy Tale Fair!

welcome
Hello! Have been meaning to do this post for aggeess but boring every day life kept getting in the way! On the 18th of August we took part in the first ever Fairy Tale Fair and it was MAGIC! We weren't sure what to expect from a fair that was a wee bit out of town but the organisation and marketing of the whole thing was AMAZING (all down to the fantastic Claire Montgomery! Check out here blog here) and there was a fantastic atmosphere with lots of young families, brilliant variety of stalls, cakes, candy floss and THE BEST face painting we've ever seen!

I'm not going to lie...we were also very envious of Lucy's bunny ear hat! (though not of the poor now earless bunny!) You can find Lucy's blog here and here Etsy shop here!

Another Brighton fave - Jessie Jumbles! Jessie uses vintage fabric and makes all manner of lovely little buttons, hair clips, earrings and more! We particularly love the seaside themed ones above! You can visit Jessie's website here.

BOO!

ImNotAfraid_large_01_664
As you all probably know by now we love a little typographic trick :o) This spooky little design makes us smile and slightly scared every time we print it. 'I'm Not Afraid of the Dark' is available as a trendy black tote bag and as a A3 screenprint, that's perfect to adorn the walls of any bedroom especially if you have ever had a slight phobia of the dark. SPOOKY :o)

On the wall when the lights are slightly down those two bold eyes pop out to keep you company :o) MWAHAHA!
