Snaps from the fair: Gin In Teacups stall






A few pictures of our stall at the Gin In Teacups market on Sunday. What do you think?

Thanks to everyone who fought the stormy weather to come along, it was great to see you!

We're taking a couple of days holiday this week for some well needed R&R but will be posting daily again in a snap :) Have a cracking week!

New Products: Geek Prints & Lillyshop


Hello geek friends!
This week we have gone all out and created 3 new nerdy additions for our little boutique. How exciting! First up is our new Tea-Rex print. Recently there has been a lot of dino chat going on and we couldn't resist designing an illustration of this epic creature with a fun twist. Being tea-monsters ourselves, we thought it would be nice to invite this grand fellow along for our next cuppa. 

cheers!

We think he would be a terrific companion for our afternoon tea sessions :D 
Available as an A5 print for only £6 it would be rude not to!

We have also re-designed our Spectacular keepsake cards into full sized A4 prints!
For only £12 each, you can treat your favorite person with an extra special 'I Think You Are Spectacular' artwork showing either our geek glasses or our classic wing-tipped specs. Better still, get one of each to hang above your bed :) Mad Men eat your heart out!

Check out all of our illustrated prints here


Finally, we have also opened a mini boutique over at Lilyshop.com!
Like Etsy, this little design market is all about avoiding the high-street and scoring yourself some unique and one of a kind pieces from artists all over the world. At the end of each week there is also a big 'Yard Sale' where you can bag yourself a wee treat at a fraction of the standard price. How awesome is that? Keep you eye's peeled for a sneaky Vivid treat :) 
You can find us online here

Phew! What an exciting week!

We hope you like our new prints and would love to hear what you think.
For those in Edinburgh on Sunday we hope to see you at the Gin In Teacups market too :D Be sure to say hi if you pop in, we'd love to meet you!

Happy Weekend
