Merry Christmas!!!

By Lee Franklin

We have just completed our last dispatch of orders before we put our feet up for Christmas ... well, you know what I mean, having a 3 year old in the house means we will be doing very little 'feet putting up'! But as we finish up the inkabilly paperwork and put the heat press, printer and sewing machine away for a few days, we just wanted to say a big soppy MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone who has purchased from us, subscribed to our newsletter, followed us on social media, or even just browsed on our website this year ... we truly appreciate all who come and find us on the interwebs!

Do feel free to come and spend your Christmas money with us over the holidays - the website will be live and taking orders for us while we try to contain an overexcited toddler(!) and we will resume dispatching orders on Friday 29th December.

We have a backlog of new designs and products to launch in 2018 ... new patterns for our homewares, new accessories for our pin up gals and something exciting for the little ones in our lives ... kids mealtimes enter a new realm of cool!

So do stay tuned for more retro goodness from us in the new year!

You can find us on Facebook, Instagram Twitter and Pinterest

Or sign up for our newsletter to get all our announcements straight to your inbox.

WE HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A FABULOUS HOLIDAY TIME AND WISH YOU ALL WONDERFUL THINGS IN 2018!

From Lee & Karl xx
