All About Me

A work colleague and good friend Jennifer Farquharson has just launched her own range of handmade greetings cards. Jennifer says her "All About Me" cards are unique, hand made and lovingly created to give you a greeting card suitable for all occasions. Each of her individual designs are inspired by 'Me" but without the ego. She has just opened her folksy shop here and you can check out her Facebook page here. I love them, so cute and some really nice colours and paper combinations - nice work Jen!

Exciting Post

This little lady arrived with the postman this morning all the way from Hong Kong. How adorable is she? She has a beautiful head of red/brown hair and her outfit is so 'festival chic'. She will soon be making her way down to my studio to be with her sister. So I now have one blonde and one brunette..... what next, I really want a pink haired lady too but might just have to hold off on that one for a while!

Lookie here

This wee beauty will be making her journey north to come live with me tomorrow - now you don't get much more exciting than that for the first blog post of the New Year do you! Happy 2012 everyone.

Yoke

We are pleased to welcome another new designer (or should we say designers) to our RLR family. These lovely bold printed tote bags are the wonderful creations of Mr and Mrs Yoke. We have a selected few tote bags and hand printed greetings cards available from this talented duo in the shop right here. We love the bold shapes and bright colours used in every design and it is plain to see the sheer amount of work which has gone into creating each and every one of these bags and cards.

Dream Of Silver

It has been a while since we have welcomed a new designer to our RLR family but today we are so pleased to announce that we have some gorgeous new products by Dream Of Silver added to our Jewellery section. I cannot get over how cute these silver studs are and am finding it really difficult to pick a favourite - at the moment I think it would be the hedgehogs but the Scottie dogs are a close second. The little birds have a festive feel to them too and as the Christmas department is also up and running I might just need to get them added to that section too. Take a look at the full Dream of Silver collection in the shop here.

New Job

It's been all quiet on the blogging and website front lately, I've had a busy couple of months and have been all over the place. I quit the day job and got another one so have been away training for the new role and am pleased to report that it is all going well so far. My brain has been scrambled with all the new information to take in but I know it will all come together soon enough. I have spent all day today at work re-merchandising the shop floor and eyeing up lots of lovely clothes and chunky knits so I can pretty much spend all of my first pay cheque on them! The perks of working in a clothes shop :)

Made By White And Friends

Collaboration with The Storybook Rabbit

Collaboration with One Little Red Fox

Collaboration with Gemma Correll

 I discovered this lovely website this morning after hearing it mentioned as Gemma Correll has collaborated on a new range of Jewellery with them. The Made By White website is a treasure trove of lovely little pieces you really couldn't find anywhere else. The collaborations on jewellery items are really special and the collection looks fantastic. The actual website design is so quirky and I love all the little characters having fun on the home page. I'm off to read the blog now and see what else I can discover about them.

Straws From Pippi

 

I just love all these Eco-friendly paper straws available to buy on the Pipii Website. They are so much fun and would be so cute at a party. The Website has lots of lovely things to help make your party look amazing, paper garlands, labels, packaging etc. These straws are 100% biodegradable and compostable too so you can feel a little less guilty about sipping away on a cocktail! I think I might have to invest in some for my sisters hen party.
