This Weeks Comings and Goings...

Alright everyone? How are you all this rather damp day??
Things have been ticking along nicely in our little shop; and we have some newly acquired furniture....
How seriously cool is the little school desk and seat? Also...please note the superfantastic 'Selick' and 'Cute Shoes' on the top of the desk from one of new sellers called Laura Bath. We also picked up some seriously exciting brackets (we know how to live it up big around these parts!) but the brackets mean that we can have a few more shelves up and about the place which makes a difference.
We also had a new seller drop off her lovelies today, Jane Roberts. She makes lovely woolly hats and shawls as you can see
We also drew this months giveaway...well we say we but we were helped by our ohh so glamorous and bearded assistant Arthur. This months winner is...

Fran Lethbridge...Congratulations lady we will post out your parcel soon...Although with the strikes it might be a little bit late!

Righto, its five o'clock now which means StuffedNonsense is going to close its doors for a few days....until then lovely followers!

Hello Out There?....

Hi there lovely followers.How are you all this morning? Well we hope?
Anyway, on with today's news....
We've just finished a rather long Folksy listing so our interweb shop is full to the brim with stuffednonsense...
A rather cute small Insideoutter...A medium Insideoutter (we like her button eyes!)A whole wealth of Plumps...look at them! we are a little bit in love with them all!A super small and super cute little Plump...hes sooooo small!!These guys are new for the winter. They are called Warm Thoughts...they come with their own instructions and the idea is that they help you think of lovely warm things. They are great for anyone who doesn't like the cold, we also think that they are perfect for someone who's having a tough time of it too..!

We hate to mention the dreaded 'C' word this early but we have been stitching away at some lovely Christmas goodies...some cards with wonderful embroidered panels on them...

StuffedNonsense's take on Christmas Baubles...on two of them you can see the elusive Christmas Bird.

A rather nice Reindeer Christmas Decoration...

We are also working on some new embroidered pictures which will be up for sale once we have sorted out the frames and what not!

The lovely Eunice from Diamond Lollipop and Alex from InkAnder also popped into the shop on the weekend just gone and left us with some more lovelies...

Bex has grown a little bit attached to the smaller mushroom pincushion at the back...

Righto...its time to bugger off because the shop opens in a little bit!

See you soon..

New Comings and Goings....

Hi there! How goes it with you guys? We thought we would delight you with some pictures of the last week dans en StuffedNonsense.
After a trip to Cardiff we returned with a lovely rug which we think brightens up the floor no end! what do you think?
We think that this weeks plushies look very cosy on it!
We finally found a big standing lamp in a local charity shop. we thought that we would have to find a new shade for it but once we got it into the shop we thought that it could be very handy for attaching El's postcards onto!
In other news...
Cloth Magazine is now available in our small but ohh so perfectly formed shop (did we mention that we are the only place in Cheltenham you can get this super fantastic magazine?) ohhh yeah, we nearly forgot...watch out for a little StuffedNonsense tutorial in the next issue (exciting isn't it!)
A future supplier to the shop also popped in with a few prints for us. Here's one of them...

Fancy aren't they?? you cant really see it here but the shading is done with individual pen strokes...I'm in awe of how this guy manages to draw like this! check out his website at crixonillustration.com

And last but by no means least, we met a young man who is helping to organise an art and design collective in Cheltenham. it is called Fear of Butterflies. Fingers crossed StuffedNonsense will be able to get involved!!
Righto, that's all for this week!
See you soon!

Is It Just Us...

Or does listing items on Folksy make you really tired!!
We've just finished a marathon children themed listing session...phew! Now you can find a selection of seriously cute bibs....

And a creation of ours (nothing revolutionary we are sure!) called a 'dummy tamer'...it attached to your little ones dummy on one end and the other connects to your push chair/pram. We think their pretty cool anyways...

Thought we would give you a heads up, if you fancy any of these lovelies let us know that you join us on our blog and we will pop in an extra little lovely.

We also thought that you might want to know about an awesome magazine we have discovered called Cloth Magazine. You should check them out!

On that note,

good evening my dears

Dont Panic...We are Still Alive..

Hello to all our faithful followers out there. Thanks for hanging in there, sorry that there hasn't been much posting action going on around here. We are both still alive, just a bit busy tweaking the shop!! We thought it would only be fair if we showed you a little snippet of what we've been up to!!May we introduce you to Steve the cloud (on the bottom right) if you pop into the shop he will welcome you at the top of the stairs! we've also been having fun with some stencils and fabric paint with the 'Buttons are a girl's best friend' and 'eat your greens' shoppers being the outcome. The middle left picture shows some of the prints which we now sell for the very talented Alex
We think they brighten up the stairs perfectly. We've also been making some shabby chick stlye lavender hearts.
There's been a bit of re-jigging going on in the shop...nothing big just us fitting into the shop a bit better. There are now 4 sellers apart from ourselves you can find Lovely Lilly, Inkander, Diamond Lollipop and Bagladee .If there are any of you out there thinking you might like to have an outlet for the lovelies that you create then why not drop us a line and we will send you a copy of our terms and conditions? As a quick outline we take no commission what so ever instead we charge ten pound a month rent...if you don't want to carry on after a month that's no problem whats so ever.
Anyways...shop duties call. Have a lovely Saturday evening in the sun!
