no time for Christmas cards...





















































If, like me, you adore Christmas and embrace all that is festive about the season of goodwill, but then find (to your horror) that the last posting date has sidled past and your box of beautifully embellished cards are still cocooned in their shrink wrap, then I have a solution to pop a little January cheer in the post.


I designed these curious little robin cards for my Not on the High Street store front and they have been really well received.  You can choose from several messages in including 'New Year Wishes From...' and 'With Love and Thanks From...' and what's more, they are personalised with a name of your choice. Smashing!


At £11.95 for a box of eight, they won't break the bank and let's face it, Great Aunt Milly who is still eagerly awaiting the postman in the hope for a sign that you survived the office party/nativity/mulled wine and mince pie-fest, will be over the moon with the wintery wonderfulness of it all.


Be good, love, Hannah x

not just for weddings...




Well... to say that the end of last year was hectic would be the understatement of the New Year.  With weddings on either side of the globe, film crews from Four Weddings following me round as I hastily sewed a bridesmaid back into her oversized dress and the launch of my sparkly new store front on Not on the High Street, Christmas was almost put on the back boiler!


Luckily my family stepped in at 8pm, promptly, on the 23rd, took away my phone, notepad and laptop and forced (yes forced) me to eat several tins of Quality street, open the Baileys and excitedly await the arrival of Santa.  


So to all my Little Fish Fans, I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and have skipped happily into 2012 with a smile on your dial and a spring in your step!  My resolution? To get on with my Blog and make sure I update at least once a week - so enough chitter chatter, let's get on with it!


After years pouring over the pages of the delectable on-line shopping site, Not on the High Street, I thought I would ask nicely if I could peddle some of my wares with them.  Luckily they accepted my designs with open arms and at last I have been able to put an end to my nagging friends and colleagues who pester me for personalised stationery.  


So far there are twelve products available, but watch this space for updates as I launch more items over the coming months... I just need to work out how to use my new camera... and flash gun... details, details.


If you're interested in Children's party stationery, there is a great range of fully personalised invites which you literally need to write the name on and pop in the envelope.  Of course, I made co-ordinating items and offer matching thank you cards and 'colour me in' cards for your creative little darlings to doodle on.  Watch this space for the cutest paper party bags with mini swing tags. Lush!


And for ladies, and gents, who appreciate a postman who delivers a little love, as opposed to an ugly bill, there are boxes of personalised note cards.  I had an wonderful email from a customer who described them as 'exquisite'. The come in a box of eight and make perfect gifts or indeed presents for yourself.  Please click this link for more details on how to order.


And while you're having a little nosey, why not pick your favourite design and 'like' or 'tweet' it?  Ooh, you are good to me!
