Yey - school has finished! Can't believe my big girl has finished primary school, really doesn't seem like last week she started. Looking forward, new uniform purchased, new class and teacher met ...

We have an extensive and gorgeous range of greetings cards, all made in the UK and featuring UK artists. This week we are offering a wopping 20% discount on ALL greetings cards! Stock up! You will need the code "07cards" at the checkout.

The school year is coming to an end already! I can't get my brain out of the academic calendar - I think it is because I have always lived by school years - school, uni, teaching/ lecturing, kids at school ... Teacher gifts ought to be sorted by now but if you still need some come and have a look at ours.

I am busy with new projects and thinking ahead to autumn. I am developing a directory page on the website of birds of prey centres, owl conservation groups and other interesting owl organisations. I also want to develop the number of links to our website and increase its presence on t'web.

Also looking at new stock - I've found a range of glass owl ornaments that I would love to stock, have already ordered owl hats and mittens and am seriously admiring a new range of owl stationery (I am a bit of a  stationery nerd! A girl can never have too many note books ...)

I'll post a picture of our some of our lovely craft kits. If you are stuck for ideas for what to do with your little darlings over the hols come and look at our craft kits - we have simple sewing and cross stitch kits, a wood construction kit, a lovely copper foil scraper picture, and more. The owl  flower press is ideal for summer projects.

Oh, it has been a while since my last blog! Life has been rather hectic the last few weeks.
Anyway, things should ease off a bit now, once I have caught up a bit on my VERY long "to do" list. I will enjoy the last couple of weeks of term with my girls - assemblies, leavers plays (the big one is going to high school in September!), sports day ...

If you still need to say thank you to your child's teacher we have some lovely little owls to help: One of our best sellers is this lovely little ceramic owl which we can personalise for you with your teachers name or with love from your child ...

Did you know that the collective noun for owls is a parliament? We have 4 lovely owl mugs that would all make great teacher gifts - teachers NEED mugs, particularly wise owl mugs.
