New bits and bobs in Paperchase!

It's always lovely to see our designs Paperchase. It's a go to for stationery lovers everywhere.
We've got quite a few bits and bobs available in their stores and online at the moment, so we thought we'd share a few of them.

First up is the very aptly named 'Dreamscape', full of magical, mystical loveliness; woodland guys, unicorns, foxes, owls, little houses in the sky, linear flowers and butterflies and runs across sooo many gorgeous products..everything from phone covers, wall planners and notebooks to teapots and photo frames.

The artwork was a team collaborative project with Carly working up the main pencil & biro drawings and Louise sprinkling in the unicorn owl and Fox.

Some great products, photography and styling shots from the paperchase team, yum yum...
