Paper Shaker – have you seen them?
I was introduced to PaperShaker over the summer when a friend used them for Wedding Thank you’s – and totally fell in love. I keep meaning to write about them. On the whole, I’m not a big fan of personalised cards. they always seem…. cheap. D’you know what i mean? Quickly banged out designs, on not-very-good cardstock. I’d always rather have a lovely thick plain card, written by hand with thought...

So when those clever chaps at bloom decided to create a new rocker, I was agog. And just LOOK what they came up with! *stands back to allow the beauty to...
Spotted! My Hospital Bag – fab ready-packed labour bags.
A pre-packed labour bag? My first instinct was to roll my eyes and sigh at the silliness. But then I looked. And found myself in the unheard of position of admitting I was wrong. I actually really love this idea. One of the really common frets of a first time mum is “what do I need to take in my bag for the birth?”. And running my oh-so-experienced (well, I’ve done it four times) eye over the packed list of...
