I'm not doing Black Friday discounts this year.
It’s just me in my Manchester studio. I can't compete with big brands slashing prices.
Every purchase keeps my tiny business going.

I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.

I know quite a few who like it :)
November 16, 1981

Tommy Tutone releases the single “867-5309/Jenny”.

The song peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Probably every Jenny that grew up in the 80’s hates this song! 😁

I know I repost a lot of Gail's posts, but I have bought from her; today I happen to be wearing the Pete (cat) t-shirt. It's all beautifully designed, good quality, promptly delivered and highly recommended. :)
Right then. It's mid-November and if you're thinking about #Christmas shopping, now's the time. All my products are designed here in Manchester and made in the UK.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.

So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.
