fairy doodle with posca pens

I got an exciting delivery the other day of wonderful posca pens, & this lil fairy was my 1st little doodling adventure. & hopefully i'll find a new home for it soon :)

Bella the Teeandtoast Delivery Bicycle

I arrived home on Saturday from a hard day at the Market to be greeted by this wonderful new addition to the teeandtoast family. My brilliant boyfriend Paul had hidden the surprise in his car overnight - but was have second thoughts on whether I'd love it or not. he was worried as it is massive and black (not a very teeandtoasty colour!) But i totally love it, & i've been wanting a basket for my old bike for ages, but he managed picked this whole caboodle on ebay for a bit of a bargain.

So i have name the new bike Bella - mainly because her bell make a wonderful bbrrrring noise! And once we get the wheels pumped up I can't wait to use her to take all my teeandtoast packages & parcels to the post office! More photies will follow xxx

so black isn't my fave colour, we are thinking of painting it a brighter colour! but i think i'd feel bad about painting over the logo and losing some of her character, so i might have to invest in some streamers and stickers instead! the bike is made in china by a company called Flying Pigeon, and you can see some cool pics & read all about them here...

yeah sunshine!

yeah the sun is shining so i am off for a super dooper walk on the beach. i've got these super dooper big, yellow sunglasses that i snagged from my folks house to keep my eyes nicely protected.

i hope everybody is having a fabulous sunny sunday - and like me ditching the dishes and housework for some ME time!

bespoke topsy and tim mug

I got a request at the market last week to make a bespoke mug, with everyones favourite twin duo... Topsy & Tim. Do you remember the books from your childhood? I loved them as a kid - so i was up for the challenge!

Most of my bespoke mug orders are always a bit out there. After i finished this mug i wasn't sure if it was weird in a wonderful way or a bit creepy. they more i look at it - the more confused i am.

Anyway if you have a special request for a bespoke hand drawn mug - please get in touch. It's always fun to do:

keep your teapot toasty!

yeah - we just got a new batch of wonderful tea cosiness in today. i am loving the bananna/choco stripes so much - i might have to bags that one myself! Each of our tea cozies are hand knit by a wonderful 81 year old lady named Mary. I ask her to go as crazy and stripey as she can, thanks Mary I love them all. xox

you can find these goodies on our cards, mugs & tea page.

happy st paddys day!

Today is St Paddy's day so it is the perfect excuse to wear one of my fave t-shirts:"if you're lucky enough to be irish, YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH!" "If you're lucky enough to be irish, YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH!" "if you're lucky enough to be irish, YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH!" "if you're lucky enough to be irish, YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH!" Oddly it's not a tee and toast, this is a tee i picked up on my travels when i spent a summer working and living in San Francisco. I found it in a vintage store somewhere in haight ashbury in 2000 and has been well loved ever since.

YEAH for favourite t-shirts!
