Whooop, yay - I'm in the Guardian online Valentine's gift guide!!!

Wow! A little before Christmas, my Christmas decorations were featured in their Christmas decoration guide, but I wasn't credited or named, and they didn't know who the maker was, because they picked my product from an online retailer who stocks my work.
So what a huge thing for a mini business like me to have my work picked again, this time directly and credited to my online shops! Yay!
Here's the link if you want to check out the full guide - there are some really nice things in there, all handmade by various makers. A big thank you to Perri Lewis from the Guardian online for choosing my bowl and saying such lovely things about it :)

Valentines day...

is nearly here! Apart from bracing myself for the usual sackful of cards that my poor postman will nearly break his back delivering, I've been busy sending out love-related items from my shop. Love is in the air!

Favourites this week have been these little lovebird pairs....


and these little sets of Valentine decorations...


How sweet!

Now those of you who know someone who always seems to take people under their wing, the motherly type, the one person who could never turn away a little soul who came their way might be able to relate to this week's new addition...
The mother hen mini plate. This mother's got a lot on her plate! Sadly it doesn't look like Daddy hen's around to help, but I think she'll cope just fine.
