A little birdie told me Our Shop has a new product...

We just put these cute bird book marks in Our Shop. They come in 3 colours, silver, gold and lime green. This has to be the best bookmark around?

Paint the town red, blue, yellow, green......

I found these brilliant and striking images by The Favela Painting Project. The Favela Painting Project creates striking artworks, collaborating with local people, in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. To encourage, learning and making art in their enviroment. These particular images are from the Santa Marta community. The artwork spanned over a total of 34 houses! Hoping to raise more funds for the future, they would love to continue to paint more, and their dream is to paint an entire hillside favela. Go to The Favela Painting Project to find out more.

Hoot hoot!

It's Friday, and we've been busy! We've got some lovely goodies to launch onto Our Shop in the coming week.
Here's a sneaky peak of Matt Pugh's Owl. Hoot Hoot!

Stateside news!

We're so happy and excited! We just got our first press feature published on one of the most exciting and interesting blogs stateside!
Decor8 have kindly showcased Our Shop. We've had a lot of interest from America, Australia and even from Russia. See full feature here.
Thanks for all your support guys, do keep checking Our Shop, as we'll keep placing new products on there as and when we have them ready. It's always nice to get good feedback too.

Essential Mix for the Summer

We've got some lovely arrivals in Our Shop. Retro with a twist, these cassette wallets are handy for a night out to carry your cash cards, loose change and you can even keep your Oyster card in it, and swipe through the ticket barrier. We're also loving the checked trend in this season...checked totes and notebooks! Click here to see it in your browser..

Vintage Launch

We just opened a NEW vintage section on Our Shop website. It's a collection of lovely vintage ceramics and a golden pineapple! We're both really into 1960's and 70's tableware so this launch is a dream come true. We hope people love it as much as we do and can easily find great gifts for friends. It's been difficult placing them in the shop as we want to keep everything for ourselves! We've both got our eyes on the red cups, mmmmm!

"Digital Orca" sculpture in Vancouver

Found this amazing digital sculpture by Douglas Coupland. A modern alternative to the usual sculptures that sit in public spaces. Well done Canada!

Antique Fair

On Tuesday, we took a trip out of London, to the DMG Antique Fair in Ardingly. It was massive and amazing!!
We spent the whole day there, trawling through lots and lots of quirky trinkets and gorgeous furniture.
The grounds were so big, that we were a tad overwhelmed by the mass of stallholders. We both walked away with
items, from a massive vintage leather bag , a vintage french pinny, a folky looking cat to scandanavian ceramics.
We've even sourced some lovely goodies for our new section of our shop 'Vintage finds' soon to be launched in Our Shop.
We came across some red apples, which were similar to these red apples in Our Shop. And these green apples from Our Shop.
Except these were vintage ones...so cute! one was a Russian luxury bath kit!

Shoreditch Festival

Last Saturday we went to the Shoreditch Festival. It was buzzing with lots of activities going on. Great place to get together with friends
and family to enjoy a variety of workshops, performances and events. I stumbled across the Dog Show, which was very funny and fun
to watch. I think it maybe true that dogs do look like their owners! I took my little niece to a puppet-making workshop, which was pretty cool.
There was a large screen on the green, playing silent movies, and right underneath a pianist played music along to it, was so charming.
The graphics for the event were quirky and fun too. Definately recommend it for next year!
