Wishing you sun filled days!

Hi everyone, well after rain storms that felt like they would never stop we have now got a day of scorching heat!  I've been busy in the garden planting some lovely new Perennials and had an audience from my nosey neighbours!

Getting all packed up to head back home to England for a holiday in Devon, so will see you back here in a few weeks with LOTS of photos. If you order anything from my shop  whilst I am away I will send everything out after 8th July.  In the meantime I wish you all lots of happy sun filled days. Catherine x

Books at Teatime!

It's been busy days lately with custom orders for Teddy Bear's Picnic Party sets and I just made these new Bookmarks that are cute on their own or a lovely idea as Party favors for little ones.  So why don't you invite this little Teddy to hop off his Toadstool and into your favourite book?  There are other Bumpkin Bookmarks available, check out my Etsy shop. 

I've also just added a new Birthday Banner to my shop to match my other Friends for Tea items, oh how I love Tea Parties!  Also available as a custom name or Baby Shower Banner.

A set of Party Items I recently personalised for a customer's little girl.

I'm off on holiday to England in the middle of next week, so still time for orders before I head off. Rest assured I'll be taking lots and lots of photos to share with you all, gardens, cottages & landscapes here I come :) I hope you all have a fun weekend, I'll be doing lots of gardening here, some beautiful flowering plants are patiently waiting to be planted! What are your plans? Catherine x

Callum

My fingers are no longer working after days of bringing this Bear to life! But I hope you'll think all my hard work was worth it. I'd love you to meet Callum. He is a Baby Bear so a little shy but he loves to bring happiness into your days, especially picking flowers from the garden for you. His Celtic name means Dove, and as the symbol of Peace it fits him just perfectly. As peaceful as Callum is he does have a sparkle of mischief in his gorgeous green eyes, as green as the rolling hills of Ireland. His fur is a fabulous wavey, silky soft top of the line Schulte Mohair in a delightful blonde gold.  He is now available for adoption from here.

Right, time to face all the housework that has been neglected whilst Callum demanded my attention ;) See you back soon, Bear Hugs, Catherine x

The winner is......

Thank you to everyone that entered my Giveaway in the previous post.  The lovely winner is MELODY in Australia.  I've sent an email to Melody to let her know so she can choose one of my Embroidery Patterns.

All busy in my Bear making studio, hoping to have this new character ready to meet you in a few days! Such a gorgeous long wavey blonde mohair he has! Hugs, Catherine x
