every home should have one

I am not at all obsessed by owls, the fact that I have two in my logo is purely accidental. But if I see a nice one in a charity shop (and there is always an owl of some sort in a charity shop) I will buy it. I was puzzled by the assortment of holes in this china owl until I realised what it was for, somewhere to keep my scissors and trendy string - of course, I don't know how I lived without it!

Roddy in teal

I have just put a new colourway for the Roddy cushion into my online and etsy shops, a light teal and chocolate with a chocolate linen reverse. It goes rather nicely with City Windows cushion for the urban owl and Pomegranate Tree cushion for his country cousin.

back to school for roddy

There was a lot of owl action in the woods in Wales, it was quite magical to listen to them hooting to each other in the dark just above our heads. Everybody loves an owl and there are plenty of lovable owl cushions around (my favourite at the moment is this one from from Robin and Mould ) However, maybe there is room for one more so I am working on a big roddy cushion and hope to have it in my shops next week. In the meantime I have put a little roddy pencil case in my Etsy shop ready for back to school.

weekend finds

I found myself back in the charity shops this weekend and came home with a few bits of chunky pottery, some pattern inspiration plates and another odd looking owl. The cylinder vase is a piece of Rye pottery and is typical of their studio style, characterised by freeform pattern and scratchy matt glazes. I now have a collection of three! 

made for each other

This homespun owl money box was my weekend find and this is where he belongs, next to my beautiful pea green pussycat Arabia jug!
