We awoke this morning to such news!
First, the foreshadowing. We found Elizabeth’s Blythe doll sitting in the middle of the studio floor in a different outfit than she was wearing last night. This, naturally, freaked us out.
Then we opened an email from our Mr. Flowers which had been sent at 2 a.m. this morning. We assumed [...]

We love putting things in boxes; mention Martha Stewart and her craft studio and we become faint or mention a label maker and we froth at the mouth. Our father is a designer and his hobby is making boxes, steamer trunks and coffins. So naturally we, as a family, prostrate ourselves at the doors of [...]

I spent my lunch hour today in front of a window display of tea cups, saucers and plates, admiring the patterns and daydreaming, as I am wont to do, in the golden shade of my parasol. While transfixed by the loveliness I noticed a dark reflection in the glass and turned to find a man [...]

We are so honoured to feature her [...]

Our house isn’t air conditioned. Imagine us lying prostrate from the heat in our attic studio. We’re all addicted however to 4711 as a coolant - we are cooled by scent. Alice actually pours it on handkerchiefs and takes it to work.
4711 began in 1792, when a Carthusian monk gave businessman Wilhelm Mülhens the secret recipe [...]

We’re so sorry we haven’t written in some time, do please forgive us, we three have summer jobs – all in the service industry – and our love of humanity has nose-dived from utter disdain to maniacal plottings involving ridding the world of all humans, save of course our parents, Monster our cat, and Mr. [...]

We’re not fickle, we are loyal through and through, however there is room in our hearts for more than one perfect summer song. This week the award goes to Punkrocker by The Teddy Bears. Alice heard this at her work and loved it so much she bought the CD on her lunch-thirty-five-minutes. Like The Only [...]
