NEW FOR 2010

Stone effect open and close door stop!
Perfect if you want a more sophisticated door stop than a stuffed toy or lighthouse, these smart door stops flew off the shelf when we trialled them last year and are making a come back in 2010. They look heavier than they are so are transportable (they have a chunky rope handle) but certainly do what is asked of them.
Size: 25 x 20 cm

Brrrrr it's cold today...

Brrrr it's cold today...the sort of day to be wearing cashmere slipppers or gloves and scarves, hug a lambswool hot water bottle, light a beautifully scented candle and wrap up in a mohair throw...or order/ put all of the same on your Santa list if you havent got them already!!!! Last Xmas posting day is 21st December

Alice in Wonderland

"Curiouser & curiouser", cried Alice...."Have you guessed the riddle yet?', the Hatter said...The White Rabbit blew three blasts on the trumpet and called out 'first witness'! ...and the Cheshire Cat said ''We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
A children's favourite but Alice in Wonderland is now also an upcoming 2010 fantasy film starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat, and is an extension on Lewis Carroll's original story, with Alice now 19.
So feel part of the now with these gorgeous hand embroidered 2 1/4" Alice in Wonderland silk brooches and mirrors.

CORNWALL 2009

We are just back from a wonderful week in Cornwall, where the weather, company and location were perfect. Feeling very relaxed and ready for Fair Season now.

We never stop working though at Plum & Ivory and our creative juices were flowing whilst we "pretended" to just be walking along beautiful empty beaches, looking out to sea and eating cream teas!? Look out for new ideas and products in the coming months inspired by our late Summer "staycation"...

Haven Breast Cancer Fair East Sheen

We attended a really lovely local fair yesterday and Monday supporting Haven Breast Cancer. It was really well attended and Gill, the organiser, did a great job making stallholders and guests feel really welcome and comfortable. She organises this event every year so if you didnt get a chance to attend this year put it in your diary for October 2010!

Plum& Ivory's best sellers were our ceramic Dinner is Served bells, our gorgeous woollen stripe scarves and the ever popular True Grace scented candles.

Sylvia was the first person to email us with the word BUNNY today so will be receiving our gorgeous new lambswool bunny egg cosy cover - no home (or boiled egg) should be without one :-)
