There's something about pictures of vegetables that just does it for me. I've wanted to use an array of images of vegetables (and fruit!) since I started out with Kettle of Fish but they've never really lent themselves to the lines I've developed so far.


And now...!! I've found some perfect little notebooks! Well made, neat, square, black notebooks. An ideal foil for raggy edged collages with muted colours, worn prints and lots of rustic charm.

To celebrate this exciting new line, I'd like to give a little notebook away!

It doesn't have to be of a vegetable persuasion.....it could be butterflies or moths.

Or indeed, birds. But I haven't quite finished those yet.


UPDATE! Some birds...

Just 'Like' our Facebook page and leave a comment below saying which theme you would like and what other designs you'd like to see. We'll use you for a bit of market research and randomly pick one of you to receive a notebook featuring the imagery of your choice. Not necessarily one of the actual ones pictured, but equally smashing. Promise.

Little white birds for our wedding

I've been collecting ceramic birds from charity shops for about six months now. The plan is to use them to decorate the tables at our wedding in June. I wanted them to be 


a) detailed enough to look quite realistic 
b) of the right proportions to fit into a small glass dome 
c) less than £3 


Today I sprayed them all white. 

So, my first ever Folksy Friday post is inspired by these six little birds. I hope it leaves you feeling chirpy!
