Just searching for something on the blog and found this, the flower bonnet we made for Upstyler magazine. Thought we'd show it to all our lovely new blog followers because we love it!

Our new postcards arrived today and we spent the morning delivering them around De Beauvoir. This afternoon we received an email which made our day.....

Dear Ellie and Anna,

I just had to write to you as I have just had a card of yours posted through the door and I was intrigued enough (normally all cards go straight into the recycling box) to go onto your wonderful web site. I love it. Refreshing and beautiful :-)
Wishing you every success!

Hilary
