As it's national wool week it would be rude not to indulge in some cosiness... This week's product of the week is Hilary Grant's Rocky Mountain cushions which are hand made from 100% lambswool knitted in great patterns and felted for extra softness. I love them and want to create a whole landscape for myself. At present they are available in store only but I will be digging out the camera and getting them in the online shop soon!
** EDIT - these are now available to buy online too, hooray! Different sizes and colours available from just £8!! **
Is it a badge? Is it a finger puppet? It's both! One of my favourite little things at Welcome Home, these are by Hannah Waldron and available in store and online for a mere £4!
The 'Carrier Pigeon' cotton shopper by Paul Farrell comes in three colours - black, red or brown and is available online or in store for just £9.99. A stylish solution to happy shopping!
These arrived yesterday and I can't wait until Friday to show you all so this week's choice is coming early - Papercut eyelashes by Ting yu Wang for Paperself, available in five different styles, three large full eyelashes and two smaller ones for wearing at the corners. These look amazing on, and at only £12 a pair, they are well worth a flutter!
This week's choice is currently 30% off in the sale and now only £18.95, so it's a bargain as well as a beauty! The apple T-shirt is shown here on a fine fellow but they look just as good on ladies too. Check out Violent Elegance's other designs also in the summer sale selection in store or online...
These lovely handmade ceramic tea cups are by Amanda Mercer and are available at Welcome Home along with her selection of ceramic buttons.
"Within her ceramics she works with clay as if it was a fabric in which she produces items that express a delicate and fragile form but the appearance of a textile quality."
There are lots of new designers in store at the moment and more clothing in the dressing room in time to make some great additions to your summer wardrobes! Last Friday saw not only the opening of Set in Stone but the arrival of Chouchou Couture here at Welcome Home...
"Chouchou Couture is an emerging, Glasgow based designer label. We create bespoke and limited release garments and accessories inspired by the same city girls that choose and layer our pieces. The S/S 2010 Collection has been created mixing elements of vintage Italian tailoring and the lifestyle of the U.S. West Coast. All garments and accessories have been handmade ethically in Rome using local cottons, silks and leathers."
This week's product of the week is the chemise dress from Chouchou Couture. A one of a kind dress made with dead stock vintage Italian silk in an amazing print. These pieces are available in store only as you really need to try them on and see the full collection. We've also got a great selection of vintage sunglasses handpicked by Chouchou Couture from Paris and Rome, now all we need is the sunshine again!
This is a bit late this week as a result of this weekend's Set in Stone jewellery showcase and a great opening for it on Friday night! The product of the week comes from one of the designers featured in Set in Stone, A Alicia Accessories - combining jewellery and textiles her pieces are beautiful, unusual yet wearable. At just £20 for this lovely origami necklace, they're pretty darn affordable too! Available in store or online, come in and check out the other pieces before they're gone...
The second product of the week comes from Fun Makes Good, anyone who has visited the shop recently will recognise these from the window. It's the amazing Pi Pouffes (three designs to choose from), beautifully patchworked in a geometric design of leather and hand dyed cotton satin. They are now available in the online shop too... Have a good weekend everyone, come and check them out in person if you can!
A new feature here, every Friday I will be sharing my product of the week with you all. The first selection comes from London based, Swedish born illustrator Hanna Melin and her lovely Summer Holiday bag. I've been inspired by a tiny bit of sunshine and dreams of going away but it works equally well for popping out to the local shops! Available in store and online for only £10...
