hello to a new friend, and our old friends!

hello all! we hope you are well. we are back from a brief sabbatical in which we were all so very busy after the show that we haven't had time to report a thing on our blog! we hope that you can forgive us, we'll be blogging more from now on.

after shows like 100% Design, it's always very important to get our contacts in order and make sure that we get any samples, images and information sent off. you never know who could want our home accessories stocked or our wallpaper books in store! this week, i'll be telling you about Bouf, an online retail website selling accessories and wall decoration for the home. our wallpaper, 'wish you were here in London' and our 'cushion #9' are now featured there.

Bouf approached us at the 100% Design show this year, and encouraged us to submit our wallpapers and home accessories after seeing our stand complete with the colourways of our new 'wish you were here in London' wallpapers. we took a look at the website and were happy to see that they promoted a seller, as well as buyer, friendly ethic. after making a company profile for ourselves, which you can see below, to share some information about ourselves, we have made our three colourways available the website for you to buy.
we have also recently made enough of our 'cushion #9' to be in stock to sell on Bouf. we are excited to announce that they are now for sale on the website alongside our wall papers, and that we will soon be uploading some christmas items that we will be selling. we hope you are excited to see them!

 another reason that we enjoy being associated with Bouf is their eclectic range of home accessories, fashion and products they have on sale. there are very unique products and we are working alongside some very innovative comapnies who are given a lot of freedom to sell great products and things for the home.

we also want to mention the lovely individuals who have reported on our show at 100% Design this year. after all, they are a big support to us, and are always kind enough to tell their readers and clients about us and our efforts!

Scarlet Opus are a trends forecasting collective who always have their eye on the latest trends and products to be released in the design world. we have known the wonderful Victoria for some time now, and she and her team are always so supportive of what we do. this year we were so busy with our stand that we didn't get to have a chat with her, which was such a shame, but she managed to snap a little picture of yours truly when i was talking to some interested individuals at the stand. what a candid moment! we hope to speak to her soon!

she also reported on us at the show with a highlight on our new product launch this year. we love how she has brought together our new products, and we are so happy that she loves little Henry in the Rain as much as we do! Victoria, you are great, thank you so much!

Firefly House are our north london stockists. if it seems we have been talking about them a lot, it's because we have- we cannot say enough about these lovely people! they are always talking about us and our products, and we have done collaborative work for them in the past that has been great fun to design, and seeing the end product is always so fulfilling and a huge boost to our confidence that we can be entrusted with such projects.

we love their work ethos, and their shop is just the greatest. as big fans of mid-century design ourselves, we are so very lucky to have found like-minded individuals who we have learned so much from. thank you Jan and Russell! here is to more years of great friendship, inspiration and collaboration.

last but most certainly not least is the wonderful Lorna at Garrendenny Lane Interiors. we have known Lorna for a long time too, and are so happy that our relationship with her is still as strong as ever. Garrendenny Lane are our ireland stockists, and they have been supplying design-savvy individuals with our products for many years now. she has recently featured us on her blog, with a special focus on our 'cushion #9' and 'wish you were here in London' products.

thank you Lorna! we hope to see you in London soon!
