My cat collection and VSCO...

Hello,
Its Friday!
And the sun is shining.
A perfect day to share some pieces of my ever growing cat collection.

We have an excellent carboot right on out doorstep ( I think I have blogged about it before) anyway this is where I score mot of my cats.
Siamese seems to be a theme for nick nacks/ornaments. My newest score was the lovely blue eyed fella at the top. he was 50p! The pretty guy in the middle was actually a purchase from Clare Nicolson and he is very much treasured.
If you follow Custom Made on instagram you would probably have seen my cats before. I love using VSCO to edit my photos prior to posting on Instagram. Its a great photo editing app for smart phones and I love looking through the photos with the #vsco. I have found some lovely photographers to follow that way. As you can see, I'm really loving adding a pinkish tint to photos.
Have a great weekend.

Gorman...new arrivals

Hello,
Yes, as we hope for the first signs of Spring. Our friends way way away are starting to think about Autumn. Different seasons and time zones around the world will never cease to amaze me.
But thats another story.
Gorman is a delightful Australian brand and boy do they tick all the boxes where colour and pattern are concerned.
Their new arrivals for Autumn dont disappoint.
Here are a few of my faves.

What about those vegetables! Take a look at Gorman HERE they ship worldwide.

Do you have a cat?

Hello,
Here is a little snippit of something we are working on at the moment and we need your help.

Do you have a cat? We need some real life cat names for a little project we are working on. You can send your cats name in an email to anna@custommadeuk.com and it might feature in our project.

R U Mine?

Hello,

Two blog posts in a day? Why yes. When you see the genius of this card you will see the urgency I'm pretty sure.

I spotted said card on Instagram a couple of days ago and its made by a Scottish chum of mine Claire of The Bellwether. I like Claire, she too runs a little company making things and its always a delight when our paths cross at fairs and things. Renegade Craft Fair in London we get to chat once a year, but I swoon at her handsome dog Max weekly on Instagram.

Anyway.

Have a look at this super duper card from The Bellwether for Valentines day.

Its a card with a music quiz. Guess the song. Guess the artist. All the songs are of a romantic nature...natually!

And...the answers are written in teeny tiny script and the card comes with a little magifying glass so you can read them.

THAT my friends is amazing.

You can get yours RIGHT HERE. Take a look at all The Bellwether has to offer. There's some lovely stuff over there.

This is Claires handsome dog Max. Isnt he handsome?
