Lily the Lamb Tea Towel Collection

We are talking Lily the Lamb today on the TM blog, specifically Tea Towels. 

As you know I have been developing and growing my Lily the Lamb range for some time and what started out as my logo and a little black and white needle felted lamb has blossomed into a growing range of unique characters that translate in to pretty surface patterns for fabric, tea towels, colouring books, mirrors, magnets and so much more. 

The first collection of tea towels has been made up and they will be available in my Etsy store very soon. 

They are extremely high quality not only in print but in material and have full care labels attached. 

They will retail around £10 and are produced right here in the UK. The tea towels are printed and then sent to me to machine finish. 

They will be available from September and will be available for pre order at the end of August.

Princess Lily Takes Afternoon Tea

It’s a hard life, being a woolly Princess Lily, so what’s a lamb to do in order to re-charge those batteries?  Afternoon tea, of course!

The British tradition of afternoon tea began in the early 19^th Century, when Anna, the 7^th Duchess of Bedford took to having a pot of tea and a light snack, privately in her boudoir, to stave off “that sinking feeling” between meals.  Over time, the Duchess would invite friends to join her in her rooms at Woburn Abbey, and on returning to London, the Duchess continued to invite friends to join her for “tea and a walking the fields”. 

As word spread of Anna’s afternoon tea sessions, hostesses in fashionable society soon copied the Duchess, with afternoon tea moving into Drawing Rooms, ever growing in their popularity.

Nowadays, traditional afternoon tea tends to be saved for high days and holidays, and regularly enjoyed by the thousands of tourists who want to experience a taste of true England – as well as our very own Princes Lily, of course!

The terms “high tea” and “low tea” derive from the height of the tables that the tea was served on, with high tea being served at the dinner table

• 80% of office workers now claim they find out more about what's going on at work over a cup of tea than in any other way

• Tea contains half the amount of caffeine found in coffee.

Regalily Puttin on the Ritz kits goes down a storm AGAIN!

Hello and a very, very warm, woolly and fully felted welcome aboard the "Wool Train" as we take a ride on the latest felty journey.

Today I wanted to share a quick video blog about one of our most popular kits.  What ever show we do and we are just back from a 2 day show, this kit always attracts a lot of attention and always goes home with new owners ready to be fully felted!

So we thought you might like to know what all the fuss is about!

But for now.... keeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!
