Molly makes the most fabulous, retro, whimsical, funny cards. I LOVE them and could find one fitting for almost everyone i know. Her little haven is a must to visit.

Tall grey bird

Wonderfully handsome Bird, Bee and Bat homes made by hand by Tim- he himself a Tall grey Bird.

I've be longing for one of each for my garden since i was first introduced to his wonderful wares.

Ollo foods

Dileep is the KING of Chutney in my eyes. I am addicted to his Tamerind Chutney.

Quite simply heaven!

The Portable Pottery

Claire superbly throws post at her wheel. Sample one of her pots or let her teach you in her calming and wonderfully knowledgable way. She is quite honestly fabulous!

Teacup tuesday- Did you know...?

You know that Sarah and I like to keep ourselves busy!

Yes crazy mummies we are! If being Mummy to crazy toddlers as well as running a successful baby gift website wasn't enough!?

Sarah also runs a lovely photography business called Sarah Davies photography. Her sensitive captured moments are beautiful and sweet. She captures a pause, a trot and a pose perfectly. She see's what most of us blink away. She runs off and clicks, she patiently waits and clicks and most of the time clicks away while the rest of her followers and group are unaware of her clicks. 

Go and take a peek her shots are beautiful!

I have just taken over running a little market called Independent Markets. The first one is next Saturday at Godalming and I invite you all to samples the delights of the stalls I have chosen.
