I am sat writting this wearing a woolly hat, with & a slightly runny nose! but this time last week it was glorious & I think England went gardening crazy.
There was an allotment in the middle of Covent Garden and the adidas store looked more like a garden centre, it's brilliant, I hope the urban gardens keep on growing.
Whilst I had my camera out, I thought I would take a pic to illustrate one of the things I really enjoy about London, there is such a mix of old & new. If you haven't been to this new Magma store you must, there are some classic Etsy sellers in there, next door to this old-school hardware shop.
I went a little belle & boo stamp crazy in the heat
My birds eventually arrived in France, phew!
You can see the exhibition here, this little funny bird is my favourite.
& after SO, so, so much research, deliberation, phone calls, emails, tears, arguments, joy & relief Kate & I decided on these beautiful, bespoke picture frames to show off the Belle & Boo collection. Soon to be on sale in our shop :)
I've always loved the detail you put into your packaging, those little stamped tags are adorable Mandy! Ohh and I LOVE the white frames too. xo - Aline

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat garden, I have never seen anything like it. I would love to visit London.
ReplyDeleteI love your tags. This is my first visit here (your blog) it is great!
Can't wait for the frames to become available. Fab tags, too.
ReplyDeleteOMG if you knew how long it took me to decide on the perfect frames for my newly arrived prints from you.

Your prints are just lovely! I'm glad I discovered your blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe just as I leave London, they turn Covent garden into a vege garden!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad your birds arrived safe - they're smashing :) ... the one with the 'beak piercing' is quite something too!
the frames are positively perfect in every way.
ReplyDeleteI just ran into an illustration of yours today (while I was browsing through flickr), and it immediatly made me google your name to see what else I could find about your art.
ReplyDeleteIt amazed me. Brings me back to my childhood memories, with a modern twist in every single illustration.
You now have one (more) fan, in Portugal!
I wish you the best ^^
Love the urban garden! I have a lot of space in the Hill Country of Texas and can't seem to figure out how to use the space wisely. Somehow, whilst working with smaller spaces it all seems to fit nicely!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better! Love your little birdy!
everything is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow Covent Garden looks fab, what a great idea very Eco.
ReplyDeleteThe new stamps are lovely and the prints beautiful, sure to sell.

I just purchased your "I Like Your" prints, and I couldn't be more excited about them - although I am sad that I did right before you had frames offered. Am I able to ask where the frames are from?
ReplyDeletelove the stamps:)
