This year's holidays are all about the staycation, and I've been busy making the perfect souvenir!
A development from jigsaw brooches, these wooden map badges are made from laser cut birch ply, and measure 4cm in diameter.
There's a selection of English towns and cities map badges in the Mr.PS shop now, so even if you're staying at home this year, you an still pick up a memento of your trip!
This one will be mine, then.
A couple of updated tea towels for Bodlon
One Lump or Two and Fancy a Brew, printed up in Welsh.
Four complimentary Mr.PS for Bodlon mugs will also be launched at the National Eisteddfod this weekend.
Also a range of cards featuring Welsh expressions...
The Eisteddfod runs from 30 July - 6 August, so if you are in the area be sure to check out Stand 601 and all the Bodlon goodies!
Woah, it's the last ever Craft Candy fair this Saturday at the Millennium Gallery, Sheffield.
Come on down between 10 am-4pm to browse 35 stalls of jewellery, textiles, ceramics, glass, art and photography.
We'll be setting up the Mr.PS stall full of printed goodies and maybe even launcing a new product or two.
Oooh.
When I was a child, my mother would only let us have sweets once a week, so imagine the excitement when "Saturday Sweet Day" came around. I can vividly remember the ceremony of my mum reaching to the top shelf of the corner cupboard and retreiving the small round tin, which was full of glossy colourful boiled sweets in slightly sticky cellophane wrappers.
As soon I was big enough, I recall dragging a chair across the floor to clamber up on the counter and sneak one for myself. But oh the guilt I've carried all these years - sorry mum!
On the occasions when I had pocket money burning a hole in my pocket, there was only one thing for it. A trip down to the village shop to agonisingly choose penny sweets in a paper bag before handing over my 10 pence piece.
But then as I grew big enough to see over the counter, sometimes I had a little more pocket money and I graduated to having a "quarter" of something from the jars that lined the back wall. Ooh rhubarb and custard...
So enough of my reminiscing, I've only gone and done a Pick 'n' Mix tea towel!
Mr.PS Pick 'n' Mix tea towel in red
Mr.PS Pick 'n' Mix tea towel in turquoise
Sorry to fans of Dolly Mixture, pineapple cubes, cola bottles, white mice, pink prawns, I just couldn't fit everything on!
Available as always in the Mr.PS online shop.
...ice cream!
Some more lovely press, this time in Easy Living, August 2011 issue
It's a Mr.PS Delicious Ice Cream screenprint on paper...
featured in their In The Know section on p18
If you are feeling inspired by my nostalgic ice cream menu print, you can pick one up over in the Mr.PS shop, it's available in red & raspberry as featured, and also in mint & choc truffle. Oooh!
Ooh look what's in the August 2011 issue of Ideal Home magazine...
It's the Mr.PS Big Breakfast screenprint in red
The Breakfast menu print is featured in their So Hot Right Now section on page 15, which is inspired by "...the charm of the British coastal resort. the Sand, the sun, the seaside 'caff'..."
Available as always in the Mr.PS online shop, along with lots of other lovely screenprints. Even if I do say so myself.
