Windsor-Style Child's Chairs

Emma and I drove down to meet Dick Willis, a gentleman craftsman who makes Windsor-style chairs from yew wood, in Bedale North Yorkshire. He is a wonderful elderly man who has talent and an understanding of his product like no-one else I have ever met. Being the enthusiastic shoppers we are, we have driven away with some children's chairs and a stunning children's settle (in crackled dark blue on wood). Our return trip next week will see us collecting stools and high chairs.

Our children have all been given the Windsor style chairs as christening presents in the past. He engraves initials into the wood to personalise, should you wish.

I feel a little starry eyed after meeting Mr Willis. We are very lucky to be his 'shop front'.

Time for a cup of tea and a dunking biscuit.

More is always more

Did I mention that we love co-ordination?

We have boats, soldiers, butterflies and bunnies multiplying and ready to take over the world. The artists and clever ladies who make our gorgeous gifts are busy creating new and exclusive products to add to our existing bulging range. Make way for the ENORMOUS Little Present Company.

We have a new Barn Playtent on the website today, and along with (yes, you've guessed it) co-ordinating floor mat, beanbag and toy storage basket. The older boys can hide in the Camouflaged Wigwam with the (yawn) co-ordinating sleepbags and floor cushions.

Birthdays are an all-year round occurance, so add a few of our exclusive padded photo frames to your basket for every eventuality. We have hens, bees, boats and soldiers... If you have any specific requirements, our afore-mentioned artistic clever ladies will be happy to help fulfill your commission.

Better go. The business drum is beating.

Love from

Spring Light appears at the end of the Winter Tunnel...

Gosh it has been a long winter. And we are not yet through it. More snow forecast for the end of this week.

To banish the winter blues (greys and blacks) we have emersed ourselves in sourcing some beautiful summer outdoors gifts. My son is planning a summer sleep-over in the grass field infront of our house. He has a vision of wigwams, tents, sleeping bags, log fires, hog-roast and toasted marshmallows. I have a vision of mosquitoes and sleep-deprived children.

I have had a strong word with self and am now embracing the cheery gung-ho spirit. The cotton sleeping bags, beanbags, floor cushions, wigwams and playhouses have met with The Event Co-ordinator's approval. All products will be added to our website over the next few days. Everything available through the Little Present Company except, of course, for the roast pig and mallows.

People love co-ordination. When you give a newborn baby a gift, we can offer blankets to match babygrows and pictures to match cushions. It's just all too good to be true. Today we have added a 'soldier' theme to our range of products. Now put that in your wigwam and smoke it.

Take care
with love
