We've used an old set of children's game blocks to create this Kettle of Fish range. Each set has been individually painted with Farrow and Ball French Grey and sanded to give a timeworn look. The blocks are then hand printed using beautiful vintage printing blocks and varnished to a soft sheen. Blocks are approx 7.5cm x 2.5cm x 1.5cm each.

Vintage tape measures from our own collection were scanned and combined to form this fabulous striped design which was then made into a very limited edition exclusive fabric. This lovely hanging heart will add a vintage touch to your home and can be used as a pin cushion or purely for decoration. The intrinsic beauty of these vintage tape measures, with their signs of age and wear and beautiful numerals, gives a real depth to this fabric. The simplicity of the heart shape allows the design to shine and this is enhanced by careful positioning and cutting. The hanging loop is a length of cotton tape, and a vintage, fabric covered metal button finishes it all off beautifully. These hearts are sewn by hand and are approximately 12cm across.
