I would like to say I spent this summer relaxing on a hot beach with a pile of holiday reading, but unfortunately this was not the case.
Anyway, one can dream...
Book lover tea towel in pale green
Here's a new tea towel for daydreaming whilst doing the drying up.
Book Lover was inspired by the signage on a local bookshop, they've got the lot!
Available in two colour options over in the shop, I think this is going to make a handy gift to go with a book token!
Here's a Mr.PS bag for the book lover in your life...
Screenprinted by hand the bag features a typographic list of genres on one side: Crime, Science Fiction, Humour, Romance, Horror; and on the other: books books, books.
Available in sky blue, and red.
Available over in the Mr.PS online shop.
This week's Shelf Sunday: Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken.... lay a little egg for me!
We found this brown hen in a charity shop in Wales
This turquoise hen came from a charity shop in Ramsbottom
This is a drawing my mum did in 1973 which always used to hang in my grandparents kitchen. Now it is happy at home in my kitchen diner
And here is an egg shaped pebble from the beach.
New bag design in the shop this morning...

Screenprinted by hand in the Mr.PS studio, naturellement.

On t'other:- Fried Eggs, Sugar Mice, Fruit Salads, Fizzy Worms, Wine Gums, Gobstopppers.
available in black

Yum!
I'm off down the corner shop...
In a new weekly series, Shelf Sunday, I will be sharing some of my collection of contemporary china and thrifted classics that sit on the shelves in our kitchen diner.
Some of the pieces you may recognise from their invaluable use as props for tea towel photoshoots, other things are recent additions to the ever growing collection, and some things are yet to be unpacked! (The eggcup collection falls in to this category)
So, first up is jelly moulds. Keen observers will know that these sometimes feature in Mr.PS designs - I just love them! But funnily enough, I'm not so keen on eating jelly itself. (There's a trade secret for you)
These cute aluminum moulds were found in a local antique shop. Of course we had to have the pair of bunnies so they wouldn't get lonely.
These 3 large ceramic moulds were a gift from friends, and came from the Conran Shop.
This final pair are the most recent addition, and also the most exciting. They are handmade by Tom Gloster, and we were delighted to happen upon them whilst visiting his new shop cafe, Pethau Melys in Porthmadog, N Wales.
Made from porcelain and glazed on the inside, they're an ideal size to use for salt and pepper on the table, or to pop a tea light inside. Available here to buy online if you like them as much as I do.
