Home show 2012

Just back from the Home show at Earls Court. Our products went down really well so we have lots to do over the coming weeks. Lovely meeting some people we've worked with for years but never met face to face. The wonders and down side of our digital world.

Murmuration

The beautiful starlings gathering - the most wonderful sight, enjoyed earlier today with our daughter Florence.

Peter&Pauls new roost

As well as our new calendar we given Peter&Paul somewhere to roost. The Peter&Paul Perch is made from English Ash and comes with 5 Bird clips
The Perch is a great way to keep important paper work to hand in the office or somewhere to keep precious pictures and family things at home. It measure's 50cm long and comes with either white black or red bird clips and will be available from our site and our retailers very soon.

Our new Calendar

We've been working on a perpetual calendar based on Church Hymn boards. We love the way the numbers are printed on thick card and slide into place. Our calendar is made from a composite material which is a mixture of stone powder and resin used for making surfboards, the cards are hand printed and cut in the workshop in a range of colours. We're launching the calendar this weekend at the Home show at Earls Court on Sunday so this is just a sneeky peek from the photo shoot we did this week.

Peter&Paul migrate to the Netherlands

Our Peter&Paul bird clips are on the move again, this time its off to the Netherlands with our new distributor Marthe Elfring of Uniekkadoos. Marthe has a great collection of products that were over the moon to be joining. http://www.marthe-uniekkadoos.blogspot.com/search/label/Green%20and%20Blue

Patrick Martin Cole

Having looked for a very long time we have finally found a planer/thicknesser for machining timber. It came from a guitar maker called Martin Cole who had the most incredible workshop. The guitar pattern on the bench is the last he plans on making due to years of fine wood dust affecting his health and more importantly his singing voice.
It gone to a good home Martin.
