Things that we see and do.
As I sit writing this I am trying to ignore the banging and crashing coming from my decimated kitchen which is in the process of a re-fit. I know it will be lovely when it is finished but living in one room downstairs which is covered in plaster dust with a mad labradoodle, also covered in plaster dust, is a touch trying at times.
We are so excited to have become stockists for the beautiful products from Nkuku. They are a wonderful ethical company and here is their story.
The idea of Nkuku came from a year out from working life, travelling mainly through Africa and India. We wanted to find away to promote and develop the traditional skills of the artisans we met along the way
This beautiful cake is made by www.thesweetbaker which is a long way from here in Maine, New England, but what a lovely idea for a quilting friend.
The detail is fantastic and it must have taken hours to model.
During the design and construction of our beautiful memory quilts we are asked to incorporate many items that hold special memories for our clients. These may be badges or dogs or special characters that will bring a smile and hold a memory. They are all so important and we always try to incorporate them whenever we can.
Happy weekend everyone. Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful start to Autumn that we are having.
We just wanted to let you know that we have some fantastic new vintage Hungarian Grain Sack cushions in our shop. There are all shapes and sizes so there is something for everyone. Please have a look on our website www.alittlebitofnice.com as we think these may sell quickly. They are so on trend right now and blend easily into all interior styles.
We love to ensure that everything we sell reflects our style and brand and is something we would be pleased to have in our own homes. This is why we chose to stock the stunning cards and notelets from Sally Swannell which blend so well with the colours we love to use for our quilts and cushions. They even have quilts and cushions on some of the designs as well as cats and dogs.
At A Little Bit of Nice we love recycling. It is at the core of our business. We take previously worn and loved clothing and all the memories it holds and give it a new purpose. Our memory quilts bring so much joy to our clients and it is so lovely for us to build a picture in our minds of the person who wore the clothes. There is so much history and so many memories in fabrics and patterns, how they are worn and how they enhance the personality of the person wearing them.
