Bent or Straight? It doesn't matter here!

Marble Rose would like to officially welcome the bent cucumber and straight banana back to the UK. For too long these poor fruit & veg have been ostracised by law from our fair land. But hard times bring about drastic measures and today the UK's law changes and we become legally more tolerant of straight and bent veg alike on our Supermarket shelves. Even knobbly carrots have been given clemency (personally I'm not sure about this one) It feels good to live in such a tolerant society again. TTFN xxxx

Saving for a Rainy Day?

You need one of these then! Of course it isn't, just isn't going to rain here in the south of England ever again so I may save quite alot - because there's Birthdays, Holidays and Christmas to consider. Only 176 days until Santa comes you know! Oh joy! TTFN xxxx

I LOVE Mabel LUCY Attwell

My DH bought a little vintage MLA tin for me, for our Anniversary - 10 years traditionally being tin. Here it is with my (so proud) 1st edition MLA Annual. I love MLA so much, I think from the moment I saw her Peter Pan illustrations as a child she had me hooked, they are so gentle, thoughtful, magical and curious - it's no wonder JM Barrie requested her personally for the giftbook edition of his wonderful story.

I thought this little poem about knitting suited some of us long suffering knitters......

I'm thinking of blowing this up and making a poster - another Marble Rose product! (have you noticed the shop link yet?) (eek) TTFN xxxxxx

Thank you.

For all your advice, support, wonderful feedback and encouragement. I have decided to begin with a Blogshop, so shall keep you posted. You really made it worth while. TTFN xxxx

LADIES & LADIES - INTRODUCING......THE MARBLE ROSE COLLECTION.......

So this is what I have been busying myself with, to keep me sane 'between jobs'. Pencil Cases! Pencil Cases! Pencil Cases! I showed them to one person and straight away she ordered 11 personalised ones, hence the names! The names were the most fiddly bit actually. What do you think? I thought I would start with smaller items before moving onto larger Nursery fixtures and fittings, like chairs, storage boxes, shelves, or even cots!!! What do you think? And any suggestions on where I could sell them (IF AT ALL!)? Can you recommend Etsy? In fact any help & advice you can spare would be appreciated.

What about these then ? I am experimenting with these wooden PIXIE HEARTS, so that they can also be personalised maybe? Stay tuned for more......

I love the Pixie Design and want to do loads with it, but I had to try this too....... Maybe sell them on St. Patrick's Day??? And they should be gold coins around the edge, rather than plain yellow shouldn't they?

So now you know - surprise!!!! I SO hope you like them, your opinions really matter to me!!! I'm already holding my breath! TTFN xxxxxx
