Bostons and Bows
Posted on 02. Nov, 2011 by cate.
It sounds like Boston terriers Duke and Daisy are responsible for their mum Stitchy Witchy Designs whipping up these whimsical designs on fabric. Apparently, while making bags, purses, aprons, pillows and more Duke and Daisy sit by, mostly snoring on her lap and I can’t think of a better way to be inspired to create [...]

Yeah for Yee Yee
Posted on 30. Oct, 2011 by cate.
It’s been 3 months now since we moved office and despite a big tub full of toys, Milly and Poppet are still amusing themselves with pieces of string that came wrapped around the new office furniture.

The sheer cuteness of African Grey‘s stationery is a great choice to brighten someone’s day. Each hand-drawn piece is made to order, then printed using nothing other than environmentally-friendly papers and envelopes. With so many whimsical and adorable little faces, how could you resist.

Long Eared, Whisker Wide and something for dessert
Posted on 20. Apr, 2011 by cate.
Really it’s very smart – to get the right shaped bowl for your dog or cat. Cats don’t like to feed with their whiskers touching the bowl and it’s not good for your dog to be walking around with messy after dinner dog ears. So, I’ve heard of wide whiskered bowls before, not that either [...]

Let’s get started!
Posted on 04. Nov, 2010 by cate.
Usually, being a Brit means you wait at least until bonfire night is over before going anywhere near christmas stuff.
