We love your blog

We read a lot of blogs here at the Swonderful headquarters. Some good, some bad and some so darn inspiring we have to blog about them ourselves! Color Me Katie is the kind of blog that puts a smile on your dial. Katie is a photographer living in NY with her boyfriend Matty & their cat Moo. She posts pictures of her work and the escapades she gets up to with her improv group Improv Everywhere. Their latest um, stunt(?) involved 2000 invisible dog leashes... what fun!


And here are some more examples of what Katie & Moo get up to...

Krafty locals

Brand spanking new in the shop today! Cute as journals from locals- Hotchpotch & Gruelboy. They are hand printed & hand cut on lovely recycled paper in white & kraft. Here are a couple of designs we have in, but there are also more colours in the owl print & a lovely cloud design too. So cute! X

Lula Love

We love Lula Magazine, it's right up there with Frankie & Peppermint. Unfortunately it can be a little hard to get hold of sometimes, but thanks to their new website you can now get a fix when a physical copy can't be found. Have a look at the sweet films on the website. We love the Miranda July one "Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles" You'll love it too, and her dress! X
