Little Something gift shop…

We visited Lisa at Little Something gift shop in Old Costessey today with some of our designs for her to choose from.  We are delighted to add her beautiful little shop to our list of stockists and look forward to working with her in the future.

With a wonderful selection of gorgeous home furnishings and accessories, Little Something is the perfect place for gift shopping or if you are looking for a special treat for yourself or your home.  Here are a few of the Farrell & Holmes products that Lisa has introduced to her gift range:

The shop can be found at 53 The Street, Old Costessey, Norwich, Norfolk.  Call 01603 745700 or visit their website for opening hours.

Langley Daffodil Craft and Country Fayre

After a foggy start, it turned out to be the perfect sunny Spring day at Langley Daffodil Craft and Country Fayre in Loddon.  After a busy week of sewing, cutting and paper-folding, we finally had enough products to fill a stall ready for the brisk Daffodil Fayre trade!

Our stand was in the ballroom of the school which had the most amazing ceiling!

We shared the ballroom with some other lovely stallholders, including Gail from Sweet As..? who was having her first stall ever.  We succumbed to temptation and bought a selection of her old-fashioned sweets, which are a real treat.

As if sweets weren't enough, we also indulged in some gorgeous cupcakes from The Tempting Cake House which were absolutely delicious!

There was plenty going on outside too, with steam engines, falconry displays, live music and a mobile blacksmith's forge.

Out on a Wing's birds of prey were absolutely stunning.  Although they are all beautiful, secretly the owls were our favourite.

It was wonderful to see a working blacksmith at an outdoor event like this, courtesy of St Mary's Forge.

And lastly, but certainly not least, we rescued a little fellow from a stall of antiques.  He will make a great friend for Gabriel the one-eyed bear!

We're thinking of calling him Scamp, in true Enid Blyton style, what do you think?  LouLou & Will x

  

Making deliveries to sunny North Norfolk

We had the great pleasure of driving through the North Norfolk countryside in the glorious sunshine yesterday to deliver orders to two fabulous shops, Big Blue Sky in Wells-next-the-sea and M&A Cringle in Burnham Market.

Catherine from Big Blue Sky had placed an order for a selection of our lavender-scented hangers.  As you can see, there are mice, cats, Scottie dogs, dachshunds, elephants, Russian dolls and cupcakes - we enjoyed creating such a colourful collection of gifts!

Anne from M&A Cringle had reordered some upcycled paper baubles, which have proved very popular.

She also asked for some doormouse door stops, we had fun choosing fabrics for these last week!

We are now working on stock for our stall at Langley Daffodil Craft and Country Fayre, which is being held this Sunday 25th March from 10am to 4pm at Langley School.  Hope you have got sunshine where you are... LouLou & Will 

Liberty's Royal Albert china range...

We just had to share this gorgeous new collection of Royal Albert china that Liberty's have just introduced to their London store and some of it is now available online with more to follow soon.  It's simply beautiful!

It would all look perfect in our pink and blue kitchen, we just need to start saving some pennies now...

Happy shopping... LouLou & Will x

Raining cats and dogs (and mice!)

Last week began with continuous heavy rain in Norfolk, it really was raining cats and dogs while I was working on a batch of lavender-scented cats, dachshunds and mice for Jeanette Raven's beautiful little shop in Hethersett.  It cleared up by midweek and we have had glorious sunshine and a truly Springtime feel since which really lifts the spirits.  Here are the finished fellows, all ready for delivery:

We dropped them off with Jeanette on Friday, so if you are in Hethersett soon be sure to pop by and take a look - the shop is full of lovely little gifts, soft furnishings and you can have curtains and blinds made to order from a selection of gorgeous fabrics, including our favourite Clarke & Clarke prints.

 Next week we will be busy in the studio working on orders for Big Blue Sky in Wells-next-the-sea and M & A Cringle in Burnham Market, so we hope the sun keeps shining!  What will you be up to next week?  LouLou & Will x  

Bring on Spring at Clutter City

We had such a lovely day at the Clutter City Bring on Spring event on Saturday, thank you to everyone who came to see us!  Here is a peek at our stall, full of upcycled paper and textile goodies.

There were lots of gorgeous stalls .  We love Canny Belle's quirky designs, especially this fun pin cushion (although we would feel too guilty about putting pins in it!):

Florie Willow Jewellery had a beautiful stall offering "ethical tea time jewellery with vintage soul", which as you can see are stunning pieces to wear not only for tea time but all the time!

Lastly, we have to give Eclectic Eccentricity a mention for their original jewellery and hair accessories, which are so pretty and unusual.  These are a few of our favourite designs.

Hope to see you at the next event - Langley Daffodil Craft and Country Fayre on Sunday 25th March at Langley School in Loddon, from 10am to 4pm... LouLou & Will x
