Our cousin Matt very kindly donated hats and scarves and body warmers all embroidered with Alice Palace to help keep us warm in our studio - Thanks!!!!

This is the backs of the body warmers…

We had a nice write up from Strawberry Gems…

‘Alice Palace - I have really liked Alice Palace for a while now. It’s an independent British company that creates quirky and fun illustrated greeting cards. The style is sweet and friendly with a good touch of cuteness and the cards are something that you would keep long after being given one. I am a big fan of illustration and handmade cards – handmade anything in fact! As Christmas is just around the corner I wanted to share the recent Christmas collection, plus a new range of wrapping paper. I am getting married in May so I constantly have weddings on the brain and this wrapping paper is just gorgeous – hint hint!!’

The two wild swimming programmes with Robson Green were really good…

I loved the ‘polar bear man’ (extreme cold water swimmer Lewis Pugh) with his ‘YOU’RE UNSTOPPABLE’ quote! That’s now on repeat in my head when I go on a run!

These Two Sides postcards are illustrated by Holy Sims…and are very nice indeed (Thanks to Robin for bringing them to my attention!) ...

There’s a set of six postcard designs promoting the use of print and paper in the design industry…

Lots of Christmas cards have been coming through our door and I love it!
