Autumn Splendor // Creative Living

This is what our Autumn looks like. Daily adventures with our little explorer always provide such a rich array of natural wonder, and no more so than in this magical season.

The colour adorns every tree - every pathway - where the low sun throws long dark shadows, in stark contrast to the vibrant leaves. Mini beasts, fungi, pumpkins are all to be discovered and enjoyed. And after a long day of adventuring in the cool fresh air, there is nothing better than our cold hands being greeted by our warm home, for a warm feast.

What does your Autumn look like?

Whatever the Weather // Inspiring the Small

Interactive UK Weather Map Corby Tindersticks

Corby Tindersticks is an illustration led lifestyle brand based in London - it is a brand for people with a sense of humour and an appreciation of design.

We already have a few of their pieces dotted around the house - ever growing is our love affair with this fun, quirky brand. But when we clapped eyes on this exceptionally charming interactive weather map, it was clearly just the ticket for encouraging an interest in weather and capturing the imagination of our very own small.

You can attach and detach the 8 movable weather symbols, to whatever the desired positions are on the A3 felt print of the U.K (and Ireland). We love the depth of detail, fantastical colour pops, and wonderful texture, which inspires all sorts of learning on all kinds of levels.

Leaff Re-Opens // In The Studio

Friends! It is with great elation that we announce that we have re-opened the studio this morning. Today is momentous!

Although the break from trading was for all the worst reasons, it provided us with much food for thought, and so we not only return with an abundance of creative energy, but with a more defined way of working.

You will notice some adjustments to the blog topics, with the addition of Inspiring the Small and Good Food. These are two areas that greatly interest us in our personal lives, as we continuously thrive to provide sources of inspiration for our own 'small', Charlie. We hope that it will bring more of a full and rounded account of our passions to the blog - not only from a design perspective, but from a generally creative one.

Lastly, for those of you looking to the future of your own businesses and mentally placing projects in the pipeline, we want to hear from you! We are scheduling work thick and fast, so do get in touch soon.
