You Are Invited To My Tea Party

I can't help but think this would make quite nice smooth, matte-finish wallpaper for a feature wall in a jazzy tearoom... Maybe? Or tablecloths. Curtains? More is more!

Ahem. Which colourway do you like? The olive-green has a distinct 1940s wartime feel to it I reckon. I decided to stick with a block-colour background and black and white illustrations, as all the cups and cakes and whatnot have a lot of detail, so didn't want everything to become too messy. But could experiment with line colour? What do you think?

Duck-egg adoration:


A sweet and sugary coral. I think this may be my favourite...


You may recognise this teatime ensemble (bar a few cupcakes) from my website homepage. I thought I'd give them another lease of life to show them I care. ;-)

Makes and Bits

It's a Sunday and I have a cold, which has given me plenty of time to update my online Folksy shop with some new things, and also look at lots of other beautiful things by other people!

Here's a list of my own updates:

And here's some of my favourite things by other people:

This chocolate cupcake tea cosy by Truly Scruptious

These darling little Christmas Robins on cinnamon sticks by Kirsty Elson Designs. 

This GORGEOUS vintage flower charm bracelet by Chiyo.

This very cute egg cosy by Sara Carr.

(Her lambswool robot cushions are also pretty amazing!)

Beautiful, vintage fabric, pom-pom trimmed, handmade lampshade by The Old Lamp Shed.

Oh-so-cute colourful little robot cards by The Juzzard.

I'd best start making some money soon, because I feel some purchases coming on! Although having said that, I couldn't resist buying these little knitted things:

Toasty warm slipper socks by the brilliantly named Flirty Gertie.
