Pulse London 2015 - best bits
at this year’s pulse london show we were next door to louise from wini-tapp - a company making puppets and mobiles, and when i got home Albi loved making his articulated badger with me. I did wonder (but kept forgetting to ask) about why the company was called wini tapp - and found out from the website that it’s after louise’s grandmother, which is really lovely…

another stand I liked was la de da living (what a great name), and they had some great looking carnival letters. 
I had a look at their site when I got home and realised that not only are they sisters running a business (like we are), but also they’re based in Cheltenham (so nice and close), and they specialise in hand stamped vintage cutlery

a book on one page (a print made up from the words from one whole book!) is a brilliant looking idea - you can get the moomins, james & the giant peach, paddington and miffy!
