you’ll see lots of teddy bears wearing sweet party hats under a pretty bunting banner! If I have anything to say about it anyway! More new party decorations are popping up in my etsy and folksy shops. The Teddy Bear Tea Party (or Picnic, you choose) invitations have been going strong for a while, so […]

I’m having a late summer sale on personalised invitations, thank you cards and announcements. Click the image and take a look.
This isn’t the only blog that was abandoned for a long while. Reading to George is a place for us to keep track of the great children’s books we’re discovering and in particular the ones our son becomes really fond of. I hadn’t updated it in over a year so I have a huge back […]
