Easter bunnies come in many shapes and sizes.....

Suck and Chew

Our friends at Suck and Chew have just launched their online shop. If you can't make it over to Columbia Road, they can now deliver direct to you, and they claim to personally test everything they sell....We're tempted by the toffee tins - yum!

Aesop

2010-03-26T15:42:00.008Z

This week we've been sampling treats from our neighbour Aesop and highly recommend this balm for hands... and feet! They keep a sample pot by the door - make sure you give it a go if you make it over to Redchurch Street this weekend - there are plenty more treats in-store too.

Another Owl

Hoots is our ceramic moneybox owl. At £20 he's a great gift for you or for a friend - available here.

Springtime!

Local stylist-photographer Kristin Perers borrowed some birds and took this lovely picture for Elle Decoration (Sept 09). See more of Kristin's beautiful work here.

We have now sold out of sparrows, but the perched robin, £8.95, is now in good supply and will be appearing in our online shop soon.

Ceramic Cakes

Linda has baked us more ceramic cakes - nice, and not too naughty! Prices start at £16 for a cupcake, send us an email for photographs of current stock.

Singing Birds

London Design Festival was great fun this year. A big thank you to all our visitors! For those who didn't make it over to Caravan do look out for the January issue of Elle Decoration where there will be the chance to see what we got up to with our friend Deborah Bowness....

Meanwhile, if you're putting together a Christmas wish-list and fancy a new look to your walls, we have very good stock of Deborah's hand-printed wallpapers and can offer all designs by mail order. Click here to view the range and here to place an order!

We've an exciting week ahead - it's festival time again! Details of our event here. Meanwhile here's a teaser from Lisa Whatmough at Squint...

Squint HQ is a hop, skip and jump away from us (click here for map), so if you're up our way, be sure to get a glimpse of more (full-size) creative delights through the large showroom window. Lisa's lights will be on day and night, so there's no excuse!

Cupcakes

Luella held a charity cake sale last week at the Rochelle School.

This shouldn't have been allowed, of course....

The Caravan studio has just had a special guest to stay!
Nathalie Lete brought a bag full of goodies with her and we've stocked up again on postcards, notebooks and cat mirrors - so there's something for everyone while you save up for a rug...

The Selvedge shop opened over the weekend - how exciting!
