Yesterday it snowed, sleeted, rained and hailed on a loop all day long, and I was silly enough to go out in it. Now I'm snuggled up by the fire painting mugs for my Dad for Christmas. They're no Clarice Cliffs, but hopefully they're charming enough in their way. Feeling very Christmassy with lots of mulled wine. Merry Christmas everyone!

I found these button cards at Woodbridge Market this weekend, and just fell in love with the cards. I love the use of language that seems funny to my modern, advertising-blasted ears: 'the reliable bunch of buttons', 'average card' - makes me chuckle. And they're just so pretty...

With this yummy-coloured wool I'm planning on knitting my sister a hat for Christmas. I've never really done anything other than squares or rectangles, so it could just be a DISASTER. Fingers crossed, though!

Is there anything better than finding a bag full of vintage buttons? I think not!

New in the shop! Lots of dark glamour for winter parties.
Mostly pom-pom inspired, but a bit floral too. Check out the collection here
