Our cosy shop corner with cushions and cards
It’s getting a bit chilly out there, so we thought we’d cosy things up a bit with a selection of brand new goodies from our Red Door Gallery to warm those cockles with. We have furry things, felty things and creatively cuddly things and things to cushion yourself against those icy breezes with as the Autumn continues to become pleasingly brisker!
Fox Applique Hoop Kit
Made by Corinne Lapierre
£12
Vintage Teddy Felt Craft Kit
Made by Corinne Lapierre
£15
Corinne Lapierre has delivered us some delightful new home felting and embroidery kits that are a brilliant way to spend a tucked away evening, protected from the chilly outdoors. These kits are put together by a small team in Yorkshire and designed by Corinne Lapierre herself who created this small business in 2010. She has a background in fashion design and discovered a love for crafting when she turned her hands to millinery and eventually all things felted. She was excited to debut her DIY craft kit ideas which were a huge hit with her customers and we love them too! The little Fox Applique Hoop Kit is an adorable design to practice embroidery with and a vision of cosy contentment. Also the Vintage Teddy Felt Craft Kit is a fantastic gift for someone who loves a good cuddly toy to squeeze, then again – who doesn’t? It contains everything you need to create a little teddy all of your own and you can make it as squishable as you like!

Dancing Bear Card

New Christmas and Greetings cards have just arrived from Molly Newport and they are a joy to behold. We love her illustration style and plethora of endearing characters. Molly’s work makes us feel like we’re a part of an eclectic and charmingly ragtag group of friends, and everyone’s welcome. If you feel inclined to learn more about Molly and her magical collection of cards and prints, we recently featured her in a blog which you’re very welcome to read here! A beautiful winter scene of warmly, wrapped up friendship is illustrated by the Bear With Friends Card which would look super on show upon any mantlepiece. Ideally with a roaring fire keeping you toasty! We also enjoy this bear’s power pose in the Dancing Bear Card and his jolly red jumper too!

Bia Cushion
Made by Spira of Sweden

Fabulous new cushion cover designs by Spira of Sweden have been warmly welcomed this week and are sitting pretty in our shop as we speak. These bold and hand printed designs feature an ensemble of fine faces that have buckets of character. They are a brilliant example of textile design bringing a touch of humour and engaging decoration that’s a little bit different! A very clever way of creating a crowd of pals in your home, something we are all missing in these present times! The two cushions featured above are the Elsa Cushion and the Bia Cushion. Elsa loves life and she bakes the most delectable buns and Bia loves to travel, ideally far, far away – they’re great gals!
Woolly Wishes Card Set

£10
New Christmas card designs by Mister Peebles feature a lovely group of furry creatures swaddled good and tight in their very fetching woolly scarves. Helen of Mister Peebles loves to draw animals of all shapes and sizes and they are always captured in her illustrations doing all manner of things! Take a look at her print collection and you’ll see what we mean, they’ll charm your socks off! This Woolly Wishes Card Set is a lovely collection to treat your pals with this Christmas if you can bring yourself to part with them… And they’d also appreciate the company by being paired with a Mister Peeble’s print too!
Autumnal Leafy Lady
A4 Print by Hattie Clark
£12
Hattie Clark has created a new Autumnal print that has us rubbing our hands together in delight, not cold – but also with a bit of cold! We think this Autumnal Leafy Lady Risograph print gives off some super, snuggly vibes with all those lovely layers of winter woollies and vibrant leaves. A beautiful illustration to brighten up your indoor haven with and to bring about that love for nature. For although it is cold out there, it’s still fantastic to get out and stroll amongst those crisp, alfresco, Autumnal displays of colour and crunch!
All the artists and designers featured in this blog have even more wonderful products to their name, and new work is arriving at our shop everyday. Check our website to keep up to date. In the meantime, have a lovely rest of your day from us all at The Red Door Gallery, be it indoors or out! 🙂
