Aprons For Cooks Who Like Nature.

Aprons are so useful and often necessary when cooking. Things can get messy in the kitchen and these aprons keep you and your clothes clean and tidy and look great:) 

They also make a great gift as you don't need to know the exact size of the person and as long as you choose a design you think they may like you can't go far wrong.

These aprons all have unique, original photographs as the design. I enjoyed taking these photos in my own garden or out in nature or when visiting the countryside.

Some demanded more patience to take them than others and I loved being out and about appreciating all that nature has to offer.



Designs include horses, cats, vegetables and fruit, birds, fish, wildlife including meerkats and squirrels.  Also many types of flowers including roses and scenes of nature. 

There is surely an apron here for the person who likes to cook and loves nature and animals.

Rose With Raindrops, Beauty In Creation.

Here is a Beautiful Pink Rose with Raindrops Throw Pillow , a card and a fleece blanket of the same design by my friend susan52z. just so beautiful! The raindrops on the rose are captured beautifully. The pale pink colour is one of my favourite looks in a rose.

The rose was on the bush by the front steps of Susan's home. She can see this rose from her desk and it caught her eye one rainy morning.

As she told me, some days the raindrops just really show up and this was one of those days. She did a beautiful job of capturing this photograph. 

This is a lovely cushion that will look gorgeous in any home and would make a really beautiful gift especially for a Birthday, Christmas present, or house warming.

There is a tiny flaw on the edge of one of the petals and Susan does not remember seeing it when she took the photograph. To her and to me this is a perfect example of focussing on the beauty in creation while overlooking the flaws.

Enjoy this lovely creation.... 

Here is a beautiful card with the same gorgeous rose photograph. Maybe you know someone who would appreciate this?

Amazing Peacocks On Cards And Gifts

There are few sights more spectacular than a male peacock in full display. We were lucky enough to see this on a visit to a country park where there are several peahens and peacocks. 

We do usually see them wandering majestically around the grounds, graceful and elegant, but rarely see them fan out their feathers in a full display. 





When this photograph was taken we had just stopped to look at the seasonal vegetables the walled garden was selling that day when into view came a glorious peacock! 

He then suddenly started to fan his gorgeous tail feathers and broke into a full and lengthy display to impress the female peahens.

Honestly, the females didn't seem that impressed with him but he kept displaying for a good twenty minutes. We were all impressed anyway! 

I hope you enjoy these peacock items. I love the beauty of the colours of the peacock, the greens and blues and striking shapes and forms of the feathers and intricate patterns. Nature really does it best!

Here are items from technology covers, home wear, clothing, accessories and ornaments for Christmas, craft stickers and many more. 

Many of these items can be customised to include a special message. Please click through the link below to see more choices.

Roses- Beautiful and Loving Gifts.

Roses, I just adore them. I am so looking forward to seeing roses in our garden again. I would love to have more roses.

Often in the summer when roses are at their best we visit some beautiful rose gardens, they look gorgeous and the scent of these gardens is amazing. 

For me, while I love many flowers, there is something very special about a rose. I hope you enjoy these roses on the gifts and the rose quotes and poetry.

Precious Pink Roses Ceramic Heart Decoration

 The Rose is gowned in petaled grace and lovely beyond telling;
She always lifts a friendly face, regardless of her dwelling.
Her golden silence can express to us, no matter where, joy shared;
give solace in distress from those who fondly care. The Rose has ways of saying things we much delight to hear;
without a spoken word, she brings and keeps our loved ones near

Sleeping White Duck Reflection Gifts

It was a beautiful warm Spring day. The sort of day we love to experience in the early Springtime but rarely do. Warm enough for a summer dress and sunglasses and cool enough to be comfortable. Lovely flowers shooting up everywhere and the sound of birds singing in the trees. A day by the lake , coffee and sandwiches and a gentle stroll, a perfect day.


So as usual I had my camera with me and as my hubby and I took a walk around the lake we came across this quietly sleeping white duck. Just so calm, serene, resting.


The blue water was so still and tranquil we could see the ducks reflection and even the feet in the water. We stood there still and quiet for about ten minutes. It was like a meditation, just quietly observing nature, breathing and enjoying the peace.


I hope you enjoy sharing in the peace of this sleeping white duck with us. It is now on a variety of products including Canvas print artwork, to mugs, greetings cards, bags, stickers ornaments and more.

The Fascinating And Hypnotic Owl In Gifts.

I find Owls fascinating. The beauty of the birds feathers, the way they turn their heads around and especially the amazing hypnotic eyes.


Only once did we see a beautiful Barn Owl in our back garden sitting on the washing line pole, clearly seeking its dinner! My heart was beating so fast as it turned its head around to look at us and unfazed carried on scanning the garden. However we often hear them and it is a haunting and beautiful sound you never forget. 


There are many breeds of owl from Barn owls to the Little owl and many more. I am so privileged to have held an owl once which was indeed an honour. Its grace and power and presence was truly wonderful...


So I just adore anything with Owls on it and when designing these products thought that I could not miss out having some Owls. 


So I do hope you enjoy these beautiful , amazing and somewhat haunting creatures. Any of these products would make perfect gifts for the person in your life who loves Owls.Don't forget you can customise the designs to make them your own with a special message or names etc.

The Wonder Of Water In Design and Gifts

I love water, lakes, rivers streams and ponds. There is something fascinating and beautiful, life giving about natural water. Here you can see the beauty of water in gifts, kitchen wear, ornaments etc.


There is also that element that although we try we cannot completely control water, the rain falls when it will, oceans swell and tides come and go all with no intervention from us. 


We cannot fully grasp water. Even when we try to hold it in our hands it slips through. In fact we are better if we wish to experience water to simply put our hands in the water in a stream and let the brook flow over our skin.


This design is one I took on a beautiful lake near to us on a summers day with the cloud hanging over one part of the lake. There is nothing quite like looking over a still gently rippling lake, when the breeze just catches the upper layers of water.  I find it calming and soothing, simple and very beautiful.


 I adapted it a little to provide more contrast but it is essentially  how the lake appeared that day. 


I think it looks cool on many of these designs.  Here is a small selection of the designs available.

Cool, Green Palm Cushion

I took this photograph of this palm while on holiday in Portugal about three years ago. It was an extremely hot, very sunny day and the shade of the palms was very welcome and cooling.


The gentle breeze made the fronds rustle and wave in the wind. Very lovely, very cooling and just the shade we needed.


I thought it made a great design for this cushion. I love the colour and shapes and  the look of texture and depth of the foliage. It will make a lovely addition to a home. I always think cushions make a home look comfortable and homely somehow. 


A statement cushion is a very easy and inexpensive way to change the look of a room a little and make it seem fresh and interesting. Adding home decor like this is a lot easier and more affordable than totally redecorating and can be very effective.

The Lovely Look Of Relaxing Lavender Flowers on Gifts

I really love lavender. It never ceases to make me feel happy, relaxed and feel a sense of contentment. A reminder of sultry summer days, of bees and butterflies, picnics and long lazy walks through lavender fields.

I love the colours the mauves, deep purples and whites. On their own,  in each separate colour they look stunning and mixed together in a relaxed drift they look even better, simply relaxed, chilled out and gorgeous. 

Here I have taken photographs of lavender fields and made it into beautiful items for the home or to use, to keep in touch and for gifts. You and your loved ones can then experience the look of Lavender all year round.

I hope you enjoy them and if you love lavender or know a loved one who does, you may consider one of these as a gift. Each item can be customised for a personal touch so make a special gift. 

My Mum adores lavender and so she will be getting some of these items as part of her birthday gift and then for Mothers day! :) 

There are more lavender designs to come but here are some for now...

If you love the look of lavender but would like to smell the scent as well, you can either cut a few sprigs of lavender from your garden if you have any, or purchase Lavender oil. The scent of lavender is one of the best. It is pure and natural, very calming and relaxing and just lovely.

You can use Lavender scent in so many ways, as a room scent, in a diffuser, in a little pouch or bag to carry around or to keep in draws, a few drops on a pillow or on a small tissue inside a card.  I would suggest you go for the purest you can find. Here are a selection available.
