Congratulations to Lee May over at Bonbi Forest...she just got married. Go over to her blog to see some lovely pics.
Amongst the wedding prep madness she managed to do some lovely lovely printing which will be part of a collaboration we are working on. Here is a photo she took in her studio of some of the work....
All will be revealed later on. I have some of the printed fabric at CM HQ now, its made the 250-ish miles trip and is ready for action next week. I keep looking at it and getting more and more ideas...

Wish me luck!

MASSIVE SHOP UPDATE!!!

Hey everyone, we have had a really big shop update. There are loads of new products in the store....
That rather pretty necklace is one of them.

CLICK HERE TO SHOP

New...

Do you remember quite a while ago I asked all you blog readers to email me with how you say hello in different languages? Well this is phase 1 of the project and very happy I am with it too! Yep I know it in English but the rather sweet sticker pack that goes with the bag and the cushion isnt! I will post a pic of that later.

So here we have the 'Nice to meet you' shopper and cushion. Pretty great I think. The print was rather superbly sketched by Alice Gabb. Alice is an illustrator and crafter. Her work is pretty damn great.

So phase 2 is in work, and hoepfully will be up on the site very soon. In the meantime you can get yourself one of these beuties HERE

Sneak peak...

I blogged a few weeks ago about Alice Gabb, well she did a rather lovely print for a bag for Custom Made while she was here. Its going to print on Tuesday so I am very excited. Here is a quick mock up, its not 'as is' colourwise so you will have to wait for the real thing to see colours etc. Its going to have a rather pretty badge set with it too.

I cant wait for it to be ready. Its also going to be a cushion too!!!

A while ago I asked you blog readers to email how you say hello in different languages, well this is the product of your mails to me. I know I know there is only English on the bag but the other languages will feature on the badges...so there you go!

PS- the bags not white and the prints not black!
