Promopocket - Our favourite Etsy shop

/ Friday, 9 December 2011 /
Faith Hope Love


In our never ending search for the perfect Christmas present we can often founds trawling the pages of epic online shop collective Etsy. With the largest resource in direct sales from makers, designers, illustrators and many more I dare you not to find something you don't love there.


Our most recent discovery was the shop Promopocket from Lithuanian based designer Tomas, his range of beautiful, tranquil yet emotive prints transcends the over done 'triangle in space' approach to fashionable graphics, creating beautiful prints. The post-pop art mixed with Dali style reminds me of a more dreamlike take on the latest work by Peter Blake but his collage approach is so thoughtfully put together I can't help but love each print more than the last.

My over-worked and under-appreciated sister will hopefully appreciate the 'Faith Hope Love' and 'Have Faith and Believe in Yourself' prints I've just purchased for her Christmas present, but it's almost impossible to not want them all. Well, there may have to be a few extra prints in there for me too!

Feeling Christmas at Home Sweet Home

/ Tuesday, 6 December 2011 /

We've taken to frequenting Home Sweet Home on Tib Street, Norther Quarter in Manchester for our meetings of late. With it's never ending array of amazing foodstuffs (including the famous cheeseburger toastie!) and even more amazing milkshakes (the cake batter based one being our favourite) and its late opening times we think we might start renting a table for all our meetings!

Now, must dash, there's a milkshake with my name on it...

Reiko Kaneko Bespoke Baubles!

/ Tuesday, 22 November 2011 /
The Coca Cola advert is on our TV's which can mean only one thing - it's officially Christmas!

But if you want something a bit more unusual on your tree this year why not treat yourself to some of these beauties from Reiko Kaneko. Established her design studio in 2007 Reiko specializes in ceramic products that are made in the home of ceramics, the "Potteries" Stoke-on-Trent.

These little lovelies will be gracing our trees this Christmas, especially the comedy pets - I'm sure the live in pets will be equally amused by them!
