Clockwork Robin and Christmas Stegosaurus

Looking for alternative Christmas cards this year? how about this quirky range of linocuts from Flytrap Publishing featuring some of the most unusual Christmas themes we’ve seen. Our favourite is the Christmas Stegosaurus, a dinosaur dressed as a Christmas tree, closely followed by the Clockwork Robin which was inspired by a child’s tin toy.

The entire range is the work of one family of illustrators and artists who’s work spans some four decades. The charming children playing cards including Snowball Fight and Strolling With Dolls are reproduced from 1920s pen and ink drawings by Sylvia Venus, while the Linocuts by Tony and Sarah Venus are from as recently as the 1990s.

Printed in the UK and supplied individually wrapped with white envelope.

Autumn Handbag and Accessories Collections 09

We’ve started to roll out the Autumn ranges across our website and in our Amesbury shop.

New for this year, a lovely collection of vintage inspired handbags, purses and accessories by Kate Rawlinson at one/of a kind boutique, London. These delicate cotton bags feature her unique printed images highlighted with faux pearl and crystals or are embelished with bold 3D flowers and embroidery. Each piece comes in a cotton drawstring bag and is provided with a handprinted gift tag. Hoop bags come with assorted pin-back badges, again featuring Kate’s quirky designs. http://www.onebrowncow.co.uk/bags/kate-rawlinson/cat_124.html

We’ve stocked Earth Squared fair trade bags for a while now. Autumn sees a new range of colours for the popular Emily bag and the practical everyday Lara bag. Both feature chain link detailing to the handles and all styles come in either felt or cord fabrics. The Messenger bag is a new handbag from Earth Squared providing a slim yet practical bag solution with external pockets and pouches as well as internal pockets and a zip closing top for security, all this within a compact shape. http://www.onebrowncow.co.uk/bags/earth-squared/cat_100.html
