Looking forward to working with you Sue.

> summer blues... and cowparsley

So happy with this lovely weather - summer is truly here and we are loving it! Celebrate with our summer blue "Lost Garden" WallScene wallpaper. It is captivating, with massive cowparsley, dandelions, meadow flowers and grasses gently billowing in the summer breeze and butterflies, dragonflies and little ladybirds floating in the sky. Perfect!

Thanks to Ginger and May (new retailer) for a lovely blog feature on us. They have some fabulous products on their website and we look forward to working with them.

> cheery images

Thought it might be nice to see a cheerful selection of our children's interior decor images, in bright happy colours.

> Little Ben's

Our "Little Ben" Wall Clocks are proving very popular at the moment - we have loads of them flying out the door. It's like our Big Ben but kid sized and easy to read. Teach-the-time clock with helpful time phrases and minute and second numbers. Most popular colours are the orange and blue, bit my favourite is the pink one.

> funky Flower Fairies collection

Our Flower Fairies collection is providing some much needed colour and 'summery' inspiration at the moment... after the tornado, thunderstorms, hail and floods we had on Sunday (all in the space of an hour), we need to look forward to lovely warm sunny days ahead.

Filled with butterflies and dragonflies, our flower filled meadows sparkle with happy colour, flamingoes and funky fairies.

> Union Flag Big Ben - blog feature

Thanks very much to Zoe of "Zoe and Drew" blog for featuring our Union Flag Big Ben in her fantastic blog today. The feature... Children's Rooms - Cool Britannia has a selection of all things Brit for a fabulously "Jubilympic" summer!

And she has made the finals of the "Brilliance in Blogging" awards. Good Luck Zoe, and thank you.

> summer blue Lost Garden wallpaper

We LOVE to talk about the weather in this country... but what is going on???  As soon as a hosepipe ban come into force, the heavens open, again, and again, and again... thunder storms, flooding, river again busting it's banks, hail and, would you believe it... a TORNADO in down town Witney yesterday!!!

How I long to see blue skies, smell freshly cut grass, hear the buzzing of insects, walk amongst statuesque cowparsley and headgerow flowers...

I'll just keep looking at our "Lost Garden" wallpaper in stunning Summer Blue then!

> Happy Bank Holiday...

Forget the rain this soggy Bank Holiday... cheer yourself up with our gorgeous "Fun at the Fair" Wall Stickers - guaranteed to cheer up any lonely, negected wall with happy circus creatures and lots and lots of colour!

> Union Jack Big Ben Wall Clock

Just loving our brand new Big Ben Union Flag Wall Clock... want one in our house to replace the black Big Ben we have... just got to finish painting the walls grey first. Can't wait!

Our gorgeous Dandelion Fields WallScene and White Dandelions and Cowparsley Giant Wall Stickers are proving very popular. Soft and subtle for a nursery but also cool and funky for design conscious lovelies!!!

Happy 1st of May???

Well, does it feel like the beginning of 'glorious May'! Our house was ravaged by storms last night, along with a very impressive thunder storm and wonderful display of lightening. The river has burst it's banks, the blossom and leaves are stripped from the trees... where has Spring gone?

Still, looking at our gloriously colourful "Woodland Friends" Height Chart, filled fluttering butterflies,  dragonflies and floating seedheads, I can dream of spring and of the long, balmy days to come (I hope!)
