The eyes have it
We're bringing the horror this week with two new and uniquely disturbing pieces! The Event Horizon Vintage Plate pays homage to the great Sam Neill, merging vintage floral print, hand lettering & an eyeless kitten with one of the creepiest movie quotes of all time.
I swear she's watching me as I type... Laura's Petrifying Teapot takes teatime to new extremes with something resembling the lovechild of Mrs Potts and Pennywise. Sitting down for a nice cup of tea was never so scary!
Bonus eyes: check out the new additions to our range of greeting cards - particular the Let's Party horse. Designed in-house using our vintage cermaic transfers, these are all also printed on site by Bathtub Print. Keeping it proper local!

I love me some painty textures, but add in some raindrops... hello!
The memorials keep on coming <3
It's been ages since I walked up Devon Rd, it did not disappoint!
