Coming soon.... our spring collection

Hello.....
We know you that you will all be waiting to see some new fresh spring designs.
These are in planning and making stage so in a few weeks or so we will announce the date.
We are a little late for easter as we took a short break to cornwall so have a little catching up to do.

I thought I would share a few pictures of the most wonderful plant shop we found in Exeter.
For those of you who are green fingered or love cactus or succulents this shop is house plant heaven.

NGNG 

No Guts No Glory is a design and lifestyle store in Fore St Exeter.

They grow a superb collection of houseplants and give lots of advice on how to grow them.

A warm welcome awaits and great coffee too!

If you can't visit in person go visit their website or follow them on instagram or facebook.
www.ngngdesign.com

We chose a some interesting plants a string of pearls 

and a living stone which we have been wanting to find for ages.

I enjoy growing a few of the little tiny ones in really old vintage miniature pots.

Careful little bear don't touch! 

This cactus may take some time to grow as big as our miniature 3" bear.

Cactus Brooch 

Some of you may of seen our sculpted bunny,fox and bear brooches.
This is our cactus brooch that we created from antique green mohair it feels quite prickly to touch.
I will be adding a few to my etsy shop soon or let me know and I will put one on order for you.

Bye for now back soon with new spring designs
with all good wishes
