Seed Packets

This month our hand printed seed packets are featured in Country Homes and Interiors, which is very exciting! Their shop of the month is Big Blue Sky, a lovely gallery up on the North Norfolk coast, which stocks some of our prints and other bits and bobs.


This weekend we've been printing yet another big batch of seed packets, as well as planning a nice long walk down in south Norfolk for tomorrow - we feel the need to get out into the countryside after spending the last weekends working! Fingers crossed for sunshine and big, open Norfolk skies!

Weekend treats and a little book

This week we had our first fire of this winter! It was lovely and toasty on a cold autumnal day, especially when combined with another weekend treat - Chelsea buns! These are from a recipe in Dan Lepard's book, The Handmade Loaf, which is brilliant. This week we also made cucumber pickle rye bread, with the pickle juice from an empty jar of gherkins - also very nice, although perhaps not quite as good as Chelsea buns...


In a few weeks it will be time for another Clutter City market, so I'm attempting to be organised and make some new prints and other things a few weeks in advance. Here is the first new thing - a little concertina book with lovely covers made from Japanese origami paper. Here it is all folded up -


And unfolded...


I'm so pleased with how it turned out, although the gold colours on the paper is really difficult to capture in a photograph - expect to see a large pile of them on our stall at Clutter City!

New things!

Today has been a lovely, sunny autumnal day, so we have been busy making bread and kicking leaves around in the sunshine.

New exciting thing number one -

A gorgeous new resin and silver ring from Quercus Silver, which arrived this morning and is just perfect! You can see it being made here, and here.

New exciting thing number two -

A new press!! Made by the Model Printing Press Company, this is a Model 2... It hasn't arrived at Spoonergregory Acres yet - but we are looking forward to giving it a loving home! Hurrah!


Today we listed notebooks and flower brooches on Etsy and Folksy - new letterpressed notecards are going on tomorrow, and I shall be printing Christmas cards in earnest...
