Luella Forever

Darlings, these last few days I have been utterly low. I am officially in mourning. After the announcement that Luella has lost her financial backing therefore putting the very existence of the label in jeopardy I could hardly get out of bed let alone face choosing what to wear. Stella has been my constant companion, resting her little head on my paw and giving me the most solemn looks it's as if she understands my pain (Or she could just be desperate for a walk?!) Sonny came round today on the request of my housekeeper and tried to rouse me with some of my favourite carrot cupcakes from The Magnolia Bakery via Harrods. But even a whiff of cream cheese frosting couldn't tempt me out.... oh woe is me!

p.s. whilst in my pit of despair I was browsing the interwebular and came across this which raised my spirits just enough to have a little nibble on said cake. It tasted so divine that I scoffed the lot, whoops!

stuck on you

Morning everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I had a lovely time with some of my less famous friends walking Stella in the country and cosying up to a roaring log fire. I turned to trusted Brit brand Aquascutum for the correct attire - though I had to give in and swop the shoes for a pair of hunters when we hit fields! heels + mud = 1 very grumpy rabbit!
I finally bought some of that pastel masking tape that's been making the rounds on all the most covetable blogs this year and have been obsessively sticking anything and everything I can get my paws on. I decorated Sonny's work Blackberry in pretty shades of aquamarine, bubble gum pink and rosy peach. I can't think why he was not impressed with my handiwork!

PRINT SHOP NOW OPEN!

Yes, you heard it right, My little print shop is finally open again! I was forced to close after some troubles with suppliers and also simply being super super busy bringing you all the lovely extra little things I have been working on.

There has also been a small change in delivery times. I now only ship on Fridays which means I have more time to dedicate to my art work. If you order before 9am GMT on a Friday your order will be sent that day. If you order after then it will be sent the following Friday.

To celebrate the reopening of the store there are some new prints... woo hoo!

Winter Warmers - I model some of my own designs for this winter
*
Dress Up - my very special birthday outfits!
*
Through Rose Tinted (small) - a smaller version of an old favourite
*
Dream a Little Dream - a darling portrait of moi
*
Les Lunettes - my favourite sunnies get another outing
*
The Cool Girls - the name says it all!

And as always all prints and postcards come with a special collectible Fifi Lapin card

As some of you may have heard there are some problems with the UK post office at the moment. There is a strike of postal worker happening this week and there may be more strikes which of course will have an impact on the delivery time of any orders and may make them slower than normal.

So for this week only any orders made will be sent on Monday to try and get to the top of the pile so to speak! For more info on delivery times please see the FAQ's on my website.

So hope you enjoy the new prints, I'm off to take Stella for a walk... to the shops!

p.s. just to confuse things even further my shop will be offline again for a short time from 10PM to 11PM EST Thursday night for server upgrades. I apologize for the downtime, but these upgrades will have a big impact over the holiday season and into the future. kisses xx
