We’ve been burning the midnight oil recently – and are very excited to finally be able to share news of our late night efforts.
We’ve been beavering away designing a shiny new & improved H is for Home shop website. Here are a couple of previews. The new design went live yesterday – please click here to go and have a look and tell us what you think!
We (well, I say we, but Justin isn’t really into it!) have been part of the Pinterest community since January of this year. Since then it has become part of my daily life!
If you’ve not come across Pinterest before, it’s a great online tool for saving photos of your ideas, mood boards, wish lists and more… and sharing them with all the other pinners. Yes, there are huge numbers of photos of cute cats, dogs and babies – but there are some real gems too!
It’s a great source of inspiration if you’re into food, travel, fashion, interiors, craft, graphic design… or even diy home lotions, potions & remedies!
To join, you’ll need an invitation – if you’d like one, contact me by leaving a comment below or get in touch via Twitter or Facebook
We hope everyone out there had a lovely Christmas.
Now that the festivities are over, we can concentrate on the H is for Home shop website launch.
We’ve spent the last few weeks tying up loose ends – we’re very happy with the site design and the database bit functions so smoothly even Justin can operate it! Thanks again to our web builder Mike and design company Sputnik.
The short delay in launching has given our army of knitters (all one of her!) some extra time to produce some great stuff for the shop.
We’re always very excited on our frequent trips to see Shirley, our amazing craft knitter and very own Granny Glittens. We share tea, home-made cakes and a natter. For anyone who’s not familiar with Granny Glittens, she’s to be found in The Tall Book of Christmas available at Amazon
, a charming 1950s collection of children’s stories, one of which is entitled Granny Glittens and Her Amazing Mittens.
Shirley’s always got a box of treats waiting for us to collect. We supply the wool, old buttons & vintage fabric sourced from charity shops, markets etc; she supplies the skill, time & love that go into making these wonderful goodies.
She hand knits, crochets & sews all kinds of things – from pan grabs to cushions – they combine beauty with functionality. Below we’ve got a sneak preview of some of the most recent things Granny Glittens has conjured up!
The website’s coming soon (promise!!)
Adelle & Justin
this week’s haul!
pan grabs – no more burnt fingers!
hot water bottle covers
collective noun for teapots?
Unfortunately the pre-Christmas launch we were hoping for didn’t come to pass. we’ve been doing a bit more tweaking and reckon there’s going to be around a month’s ‘slippage’. So once the Christmas & New Year frivolities and festivities have died down, January should finally see the H is for Home website go live!
We’ve been keeping busy in the meantime though, to prove it, here’s a collage we put together of some of the items that will soon be up for sale.
Christmas & New Year greetings to everyone!
