Everything British...

As my parents are from Britain (Scotland to be exact), I do have a weakness for everything British. Particulary Scottish Tattie Scones and a good cup of English Tea (but that is a whole other story!). Therefore I simply had to have some British inspired gifts in my store.

How cute are the little soldier plush toy and the little rattle? Gorgeous with their little military jackets.

I also adore the new Scottie Dog Baby Bibs which remind me of the Scottie Dog I once owned. He was jet black and called "Lomond" (After Loch Lomond of course). Lomond was so black and furry that when he smiled all you could see was his white teeth! He was strong and stocky and was actually the offspring of the scottie dog on the Chum dog food advertisements

Not only are my artworks inspired by my experiences and memories but the gifts I sell as well. You could definitely say that the store is a reflection of me.

Egg and Toast Soldiers - My Childhood Favourite

How gorgeous is this set!!

Japanese designer Takae Mizutani has just brought me back to my childhood with this cute set. No longer do toast soldiers need to be neglected. Rather than leave the toast lying on a plate, she designed her own whimsical Egg and Soldier set.

Made in Cornwall, England from an earthenware clay, the Egg and Soldier Set adds an engaging charm to this classic breakfast dish. The two piece set holds your egg securely behind the turrets of a small castle, while the toast soldiers valiantly stand upon their royal stead.

Inspired by childhood stories and imaginative dreams this will be a certified hit with children and adults who like to regress back to childhood (I'm off to buy one!!)
