Art at the Oakford

I had a most marvellous afternoon on Sunday at the Oakford Social Club in Reading where they hold a weekly art market / jumble sale / general arty gathering called Welcome to the Jumble. I met lots of lovely people this week including Léa, who kindly took these photos of me doodling all over the wall, because I forgot my camera! If you're going to be in Reading, why not pop in and see if you can spot it!

Also selling their lovely things were:

Pete Montford with his extremely detailed drawings and doodles.

Zoë Darnell with her totally cute creatures, cards, magnets and illustrations.

Alex Whittaker with his amazing woodcut prints and etchings.

and of course Léa Bessaguet with her quirky collages

cute quirky cards going down a treat!

My little greeting cards have been selling well this week on Etsy, being as I've had two orders within two days of each other! I've relisted all sold items, but if you want more than one of a particular card, please ask and I'll add it on to your order, there's a neverending supply of all cards!

Recently Relisted

People are loving my little postcard prints of strange little animals available in my Etsy shop for less than £1!! Sets of three, five or all ten designs are also available for a 'bigger pack, better value' price! You can even mix and match to create your own set.

Lovely LOVE letters

Here are some of my newest creations that I'll be adding to Etsy later today. Stuffed letters could spell out a name or just initials, an inspiring word or phrase, or how about a single 'X' for a kiss?!

A great unique kids' gift or something quirky for a loved one, each one is hand stitched from both new and recycled fabrics making every one different. Please let me know what main colour/s you'd like, some of the fabrics are in limited supply so I can't guarantee to match an exact design, but I'll do my best!

I'll be creating them in three sizes: 6" (those pictured here), 8" or 12" at £10, £15 and £30 per letter respectively and I'm taking orders now for Christmas, or simply let me know when you need it for. Discounts available for multiple letters - 10% off for two, 15% off for three and 20% off for four or more.

Lovely lovely Cornwall

Here are a few snaps from our holiday in Cornwall last week. It was actually beautifully sunny all except two days, they just happen to be the best photos!. It was lovely to have a break but we're back in full swing now! I'll be posting again tomorrow with some of my newest lovely handmade things, I just have to finish them off and photograph them now!

Archie's first trip to the beach was a semi success; he loved the sand, but wasn't too keen on the sea!

The funniest picture of Archie pulling his Joker face!
