Lovely Pigeon's Circus Friends




Ladies and Gentlemen, Roll up! Roll up! 
Come on down to our circus, won't you?
We'll make you smile, we'll make you laugh,






We have lots of friends 
Such a treat for your little ones
On a rainy or hot, sunny day.

You know I can never resist a great circus, especially when it features a bespectacled bear and a cheeky monkey and is made out of paper!

Kirsty Thomas loves handlebar moustaches, monchrome pattern and clever animals, can you tell? Her new circus cards are delightful - perfect for framing and for adding a quirky note to any child's room - and I think her cut & make set would make a fun birthday gift or stocking filler, encouraging plenty of storytelling and imaginative play.

I have only recently discovered Lovely Pigeon and will be bookmarking Kirsty's shop in my faves. Have a look at her Animal postcards and teatowel,if you like her style. I've a feeling there's lots more to come - so watch out, Lovely Pigeon is here to stay.

Caroline Dulko


Hand printed and painted Russian Doll plush toy/small cushions

Recent British textile graduate (Central St Martins) Caroline Dulko makes wonderful, eye-catching prints and cushions for children and the home.
Carole is passionate about screen-printing and illustration and her one-off limited edition textile pieces are original and refreshingly striking.

You can purchase Caroline's work from her online shop then pop over to her blog, where I found some fab pictures of past designs like these.
