Hiding under mountains!

I'm just appearing from behind a mountain of packages of Invitations, Gift Tags, Cupcake Toppers.... that I'm getting all ready for a lovely new Stockist that I'll tell you about soon. I've been creating some new party gift tags for them which I'll also be adding into my Etsy shop soon.

It must be the time of year for Birthday Parties as I've had lots of custom enquiries for Party Sets over the last few weeks. I can customise any of the Party Invitations that you can see in the Party section of my Etsy Shop. Lots of 1st Birthdays being celebrated around the world and it's always special to be asked to play a part in them. I've got new party items I need to add to my shop too, but time just keeps running out each day!

I've just finished a new Commissioned Bear, named Sebastian that will be heading to a loving new home in the States.


Jacob that was featured in my previous post can unfortunately not go to the home he was planned for due to unforeseen circumstances. So now he has got his little arms open wide looking for a home full of love. He is a cheeky little Bear that loves to make you giggle with all his party tricks! Coming from the land of Chocolate and having such a gorgeously soft milk chocolate Alpaca coat he felt his full name, Master Jacob Chocolate, was fitting! Friendship is very important to this sweet Bear, he even enjoys a bit of a sing along, so you could have some wonderful parties with all your hug! Get your dancing shoes ready! You can see all his adoption photos and info here.



Next on my list is another Custom Bear in precious peachy alpaca and I've nearly finished knitting a little outfit for her when she is ready! Thanks so much for visiting, see you soon, Catherine x

Party Time!

Just flying in quickly to let you know I just launched some brand new Cupcake Toppers into my Etsy shop. I had such fun making these and they now make up a lovely range of Party Products including Invites, Gift Tags & Birthday Cards. They would also be lovely for a baby or even bridal shower or just a fun Tea Party for friends, any excuse for a party!






Also my fabric ornaments have arrived at my UK stockist, Cottontails. They are a shop exclusive so if you want to get hold of any before they run out hop on by to Cottontails. It is a wonderful world to get lost in with a cup of tea!



It's all go here, with some new custom Bear orders coming in, so must dash. See you soon, Catherine x

My very first Stockist!

I'm over the moon to announce that my Bumpkin Bears & Friends illustrations have been selected to be stocked by the fabulous UK company Cottontails.

If you have never visited them before you must hop by, they are a much loved retailer of some of the finest toys in Europe as well as stocking work from some wonderful UK Designers. I am pinching myself when I see my work listed alongside such talented folk, as Mandy of Belle & Boo, Jane of Snapdragon and Claire of Made in Pixieland,I'm thrilled!

It is a business with a personal touch, run by the lovely Charlotte and her assistant, Humphrey the rabbit! My Bumpkin friends fit in nicely with their countryside style and I'm delighted to say orders have already come in to them for my work. Charlotte's Blog is a delight to follow, she recently made this adroable video of the shop Bunnies making Elderflower Cordial!

If anyone reading this would be interested in also becoming a stockist of my work, then feel free to send me an email.

Lots more fun and new delights to share this week, so I'll look forward to seeing you again soon, Hugs, Catherine x
