We have very happily received a lotta lotta paint today off the very lovely people at Farrow and Ball.

Aside from some lovely emulsions we have a really good selection of floor and masonary paint in a decent selection of colours. Stacks of undercoats and primers for indoors and out and.. heaps of exterior eggshell which is perfect for your front door or back.

Cheggars Plays Pop During Scrapstore Swap!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Good Morning All

Have finally managed to clamber over the huge amount of lovely new scrap out there, so can tell you what’s been happening this week in Scrapsville.

I shouldn’t really knock Cheggars but feel our scrap swap yesterday was infinitely better than anything him and Maggie Philbin ever managed! Yes fellow scrap fans! We had three scrapstores visit us yesterday, with truck loads of stuff and we swapped til we dropped, then got back up again and swapped some more.

Many thanks to Swansea, Rushcliffe and Bristol scrapstores for making the effort and driving over to us.  Now here’s a taste of the lovely new stuff we got in for you

  • Neoprene discs
  • Ripstop nylon in bright colours
  • Cargo net in black, white and beige
  • Silver plastic bowls
  • Ribbon
  • Elastic
  • Gloves ( They are so fab for puppet and cockrel making)
  • Purple and white racey lacey ribbon
  • Make up bags. Cubic and partly seethrough
  • Wine bottle seals that never made it to the bottle (i like theses lots)
  • Callippo lolly cones (lolly not included)
  • Foam squares, rectangles, circles and funny shapes with (hurrah!) sticky back ( I like sticky back too… as long as it’s not made from jam… which it isn’t)
  • Pelmets, kinda better than helmets (well for bag making anyway). these are still in their packaging and lots of lovely fabrics available.
  • Toilet seat covers (Yeah yeah I know.. hardly classy but I promise they’ve not been used and they are white and you could do lots of stuff with them)
  • Satin fabric in lots of colours (left over from ribbon making industry

Loads of other lovely stuff, but you’ll only find out if you come visit us.
