Halloween: Our Top Pumpkin Picks!

Sunday, 18 October 2015

Autumn is well under way, and it's that time of year for pumpkins!

This year we're going to share the most unusual pumpkin decorating ideas, including several 'no carve' options. 


Way back as a student on halls of residence, we carved up a Voldemort, Pikachu and Princess Peach pumpkin. There are so many templates online to have a go at, and it's so much fun! Just search 'pumpkin carving templates,' pick up a carving kit from your local supermarket and GO!


This year however, we're keen on the no-carve pumpkin trend! It's time to step up your pumpkin game...

Who says Halloween can't be pretty?!

Will you be pumpkin decorating this year?!

This May we're crushing on...

This week I decided to make a board on Pinterest for one of this summer's hottest trends we're loving, flamingos and pineapples!

Here are some of my favourite picks:

1. This DIY Pineapple night light from ABM - SWOOOOOOON! (Find it here)


2. These cute flamingo fairy lights! (Find them at: http://www.suicidalshop.fr/)


3. This WEDDING pineapple! (Yep!)


4. This photo of a suuuuuper bendy flamingo!


5. This pineapple inspired ensemble! (http://www.studiodiy.com/page/3/)

We'll have some pineapple and flamingo themed pieces hitting the store soon!


December Etsy Favourites

Tuesday, 23 December 2014

As we're winding down for Christmas, I thought I would make the most of the opportunity whilst things were quieter to post my current Etsy favourites. As most of you will know, I love to support small independent businesses, especially on Etsy, so here's to you movers and shakers!






Firstly, I had to share a long favourite of mine - Emma Moore Illustration and Design. I got to know Emma online over the summer and have been closely following her amazing success, which she deserves every piece of! Her work really is flawless, and rest assured, the second I have an event coming up, she will be the person I head to. You can visit her etsy store here, or alternatively, she is a partner of NOTHS, and you can find her here







Next up absolutely had to be Handmade Sam Made.  I ordered a prism himmeli from Sam for my desk (see here) around the beginning of December, and it arrived super speedily from the US to the UK in time for Christmas. Not only was the quality absolutely everything I expected and more, it was great value for money and packaged impeccably. In fact, Sam has even inspired me for how we can work on our packaging at Aubergine Fox! Keep up the amazing work Samantha, and thanks for the air plant recommendations too!







My third and final Etsy seller recommendation for this month is Sweet Pea Ink.  They're currently closed for Christmas break too, but I absolutely have my eye on every one of their mugs (hint, Eloise, if you're reading this!). I also have my eye on their black LIKE A BOSS pencils, definitely sensing a new year treat coming on!

Got any small businesses you would love to recommend? Drop them below!
