New card making for Furniture Magpie

I'm getting stuck in making cards to sell at Furniture Magpie in Barnstaple and loving it! Here they are mixing it up a little with floral retro fabric, and inspired by the lovely furniture..

Lino printing bags at Furniture Magpie

Sam suggested that we customise her Furniture Magpie bags and I thought I'd give it a try.. The brief was using he words 'I'm a Magpie' and a retro typewriter font. Here is what happened!

The final bags..

An alternate idea using the logo..

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is coming hurrah! Here are just a few of the bits and bobs family, we've been making for the shop in Devon. The idea has been to re-use & recycle old decorations and scraps of fabric for a vintage, homely feel. I hope you like it as much as we've enjoyed making it all!


Handmade scented lavender hearts made by yours truly - for decorations & gifts, decorated with buttons and festive ribbons





Hand papier mached, painted, glossed and be-ribbonned with love!




Really enjoyed making these as they look so vintagey. Great way to re-use old baubles and make pretty displays in your home.


Beautiful hand sewn pin cushions by the talented Felicity Gray, using vintage scraps and shiny old buttons!


 I handpoured these scented wax teacup candles, using old crockery, mis-matched cups and saucers.


  

Tom Green's own window display, with a hamper full of treats including gifts from the shop and wrapped presents! Chopping boards or hand hewn peg rails make gorgeous gifts.


Hand printed wrapping paper and cards above & below. My sister and I made music paper bunting too - a cheap and cheerful way to use old paper and string (See earlier post for a step-by-step guide!)

           

And finally - Green's at night as we were setting up the Christmas Window and display.
