Hus and Hem...

I am just loving some of the new products over on the Hus and Hem online shop...

Totally adorable 'Mibo festive friends paper animals kit'.

I've blogged about some of Mibo's other paper kits before and this new festive addition is just as lovely as the others.

'Shine reversible paper lanterns by Jurianne Matter'

(These are definitely going straight on the christmas list, beautiful...)

Feeling autumnal...

Well, after a couple of random hot days for October in the UK, 

I'm definitely starting to feel very autumnal... 

Its cold and windy outside and I'm transitioning from flip flop and flat pumps to boots! 

Thoughts of autumn have been aided by some beautiful imagery 

floating around blog land and over on pinterest, 

so I thought I'd post a few of my favourites to get you in the mood...

Just how beautiful do you need a colour palette to be for a new autumn collection, 

yum yum Rifle Paper co!

Ooh I just love a new cook book or four! 

Couldn't resist these lovely new additions to the collection.

I absolutely adore the Leon books so when I discovered their third out last week...

well, what can you do?

Also being added to the book shelf were 'Pieminister', (love a good pie, comfort food is the way forward!)

'Supper Club' (gorgeous illustrations too, added bonus!) and 'The Great British Bake Off'

Plenty to be keeping me busy I think...

Love the mix of linear areas with washes of colour and geometrics, and the collaged ladies are fab too!

A few pics...

Ooooh, I'm a bad blogger.... 

Its been a while since my last post. (sorry) 

It's been a busy August and beginning to September! 

Busy days (but happy days) with Paper and Cloth at the moment getting ready for Indigo at Premier Vision in Paris, woo hoo, only just over a week to go, exciting!

We're still looking for a super duper Junior Print Designer too, so be sure to check out the blog post if you're interested!

Anyways, thought I'd pop up a few recent pics from our little seaside trip (the little fluffy one loved it!)

Got a bit carried away with flowers...

Aren't the colours gorgeous, love it!

And I couldn't resist adding one of our little fluffball, uber cute!
