Shop>> New Addition
After printing a black silhouette onto a cushion i had the urge to do another one and i thought a man in a top hat would make a great silhouette. So i drew out a design and printed it onto a linen fabric and framed it in a baroque/ rococo style black frame.
A new typewriter arrived in the shop yesterday afternoon. It comes with this lovely, sturdy black carry case.

Shop>> New Addition
A new little addition to the shop. I needed something to fill a gap in the wall after i sold some framed art work. So i decided to hand painted and hand stitched onto calico a sweet little blue tit. I chose a blue tit because of their lovely mix of vibrant colours and added some hand emboirdery for a little bit of extra detail. I decided to paint the wooden frame a vibrant duck egg colour to compliment the colours of the blue tit and to make it stand out against the cream wall.... hope you like!

New Additions
So like a said i have recently been having a little switch around in the shop. I am making more stock and having more and more ideas i am wanting to do some lifestyle merchandising; putting my products in a setting that they are intended for. Such as displaying cushions on chairs and just adding some more homey touches to the shop.
I have revamped an old stool and little table that i had and bought from a local charity shop. Painted on some colourful eye catching paint and sanded one of them down to give it a distressed look.

Shop Update
The shop window is far from what myself and all the other shop owners want it to look like but we haven't had much of a chance to do anything about it since it has been so busy over Christmas but now it is starting to quiet down we are going to be getting around to dressing the window. But for now i had a little play around with my display and decided to display some of my cushions along with some letter sets and a button frame all piled into a suitcase.
Here is some snaps of some new products available to buy from The Corner Emporium.
