Happy New Year
January 10th, 2012
One week into the new year, a little late I know! but best wishes to you all and thanks for checking in. I’m now living half way between two houses and both are in disarray so neither feels like home right now. I can’t wait to get the fun part done – decorating! Whilst the

I’m sure a lot of you are already aware of Design*Sponge, a brilliantly inspiring blog by Brooklyn-based writer, Grace Bonney.

The Gocco is here!
October 2nd, 2009
Hurrah! at last my long lusted-after Gocco printer arrived, all the way from Japan. The seller, printaddictjapan – as found on Etsy, actually dispatched the item very promptly. It arrived in the UK almost 24hrs later but there were hold ups once it was in the hands of ParcelForce over here. Luckily that was all
