I have been a bit off the ball in the run up to this Christmas, a lot of my products sold out in October, I think people were buying earlier this year, were you? New stock would not arrive in time for sale before Christmas, so whilst I still have Christmas Cards in stock and Gift Vouchers, I thought it might be an idea to share some of my favourite places to shop from for a change…
I’m a big fan of these Vintage Range of cushions from my friends and fellow artists Perkins & Morley, trust me you can get lost in their website for hours such is their fabulous range, this link will take you to their cushions first…
As you know I’m a fully signed up member of the ‘VanLife’ lifestyle, I have done some work before with Millies Pet Services who are based in Carnoustie, they have come up with what I think is a fabulous idea and a great gift. They have a campervan, Harley, that they rent out, it comes equipped with everything you’d need, plus it’s dog friendly of course. They now have vouchers (with one of my commission pieces for them on the front) for sale which would make great gifts for anyone who’s talked about giving van life a try. Mr Dean always stocks up our coffee supplies from here, we’re big fans and The Algerian Coffee Stores in Soho, London do these great Christmas gift sets for both coffee and tea lovers.

Loads of products here to make your home feel cosy and warm, I have 2 of these lamps already. These create such a lovely atmosphere, I’m a big fan! There’s also wallpaper and window films and other loveliness! Also worth mentioning is that Hannah’s studio and business in Hebden Bridge went up in flames earlier this year when the building her studio and storage was in was destroyed by fire. She’s done exceptionally well to create a new studio and get back up and running. What about a beautiful heirloom mohair teddy bear? These are by Fran at Woollenhearted. Her shop is not officially up and running yet so these might have to go on a wish list, but she’s active on instagram and I’m sure would love to hear from you if interested. I think they’re just gorgeous bears!

I publish free dog art each month and you’re the first to hear of my events, see my new work and to access any special offers. |
