2010-06-08T16:49:00.004+01:00

Well after a bit of an annoying delay in delivery my fantastic and quite frankly stunning 'Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman' arrived yesterday.

I went for the leather version at £499 with delivery of £25 and I still can't believe what an amazing price that is. You can however opt for the synthetic leather option which comes in at £369.

Considering that I was unsure on wether to get this, the Barcelona Chair & Ottoman or the white Ball Chair in red I've definitely made the correct choice.

You can get one of these and lots more reproduction designer furniture at unbelievable prices by stopping by Milan Direct http://www.milandirect.co.uk/shop/category/eames-furniture/

2010-04-08T11:52:00.003+01:00

After taking a hit over Easter on both Zazzle & istock the sales continue to roll in. When you have your own business these bank holidays and holidays in general really do become annoying.

Anyway enough of the mini moan and on to the thanks.

Sonia from Redwood City in California kindly bought this jungle animals hiding greeting card.

Additionally Christine from London in the UK bought this cute Eskimo/Inuit postcard.

Now I really hope I don't offend anyone with the use of the word Eskimo, I'm unsure as to what is PC and correct to use, saying that if anyone has any thoughts please do let me know. I had trouble, well not really trouble using the word Squaw on a native American girl illustration last year. The offence the word may cause was kindly pointed out to me by a member at istockphoto.

It seem's that the Emo girl sketch and Illustration had a little secret. I can now exclusively reveal that she in fact has an alter ego, behold the first sketch showing what guise she intends to fight crime in her journey to become a fighter for truth and justice.
