Made to Order Frames - Tobyboo

Tobyboo… a supplier profile

After going from a jewellery degree at the Central St Martins College of Art in London, and a time working in children's television, Tina has blended her artistic know-how with her empathy for children to give us ‘Tobyboo’. Her hotchpotch fabric works are a hot favourite at the Little Present Company. Each picture is made to order with love and heaps of skill.

Tobyboo - we love you!!! The most wonderful piece of artwork for our home. Thank you Tina. We are thrilled x (C for Celia) custom order April 2010

It's gorgeous! Tina is an incredibly quick and talented artist, and an absolute joy to work with. She offered me lots of opportunities to personalize the piece, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Highly, highly recommended! (Cute Initial Frame) April 2009

High quality finish. It was really nicely wrapped and sent very promptly after ordered. (custom order for initial frame) Jan 09

At last, the answer to what to get for the child who has everything! This is a lovely, well-made, original gift for Christmas or any time of the year. Great service too, 10 out of 10. Thanks x (custom order for initial frame) Dec 08

The testimonials speak for themselves.

Tina’s creative flair is evident in her range of quirky subject matter. The ‘Love It, Hate It’ name frame is the most original idea we have encountered. We love it so much that we have an exclusive mounted version for only £30.

As Tina says, ‘The Love It, Hate It’ frame is... for those who are fans of the brown stuff, here's a marvelous alternative to boats and trains with names on for the little soldiers of the house….(You can) put it on the wall, put in on the mantle or the kitchen shelf it would just look scrumptious!

Tina’s ‘Name and Date Frame’ is a present which will outlast any piece of newborn clothing. The name is hand-stitched along with the date – and it makes for an everlasting gift for any newborn or christened child. Blue for boys or pink for girls options available. £38 each (see image)

An Early Summer

The spring sunshine has encouraged a massive spring-clean in our house. We have dusted out the wendy house, polished the windows, shaken out the door mat and opened the windows. With this colourful-floral-birdsong attitude, we have embarked upon our Summer Range of goods here at the Little Present Company.

New in: children's swimshorts, towelling hoodies in fun colours and designs, and a range of outdoor toys to keep the little ones in the fresh air for as long as possible. With the newly mown grass (mmm the smell of summer!) underfoot, it is time for lunches in the sunshine and games of cricket and croquet and running races and... and... big fat siestas on beanbags.

Fingers crossed that this glorious sunshine continues for the rest of the school holidays. My daughter (aged 4) longs for a real pony but seems to be content with the Hobby Horse at the moment because it is soft and makes clip-clop noises; and my son (aged 6) is Sir Lancelot and using the wooden swords against me and the daffodils.

With love

Local Press, Foreign Scammer and Chocolate Overload

Happy Easter!

This weekend we have had a lovely surprise to see that our Wooden Soldier Skittles, Croquet set, Bunting, Cupcake Blanket and Rosie Flo's Colouring books have received some glossy local press. 'Luxe' and 'Hitched' magazines have both given us double page features. The child models are as cute as candy, and our things look brilliant. We are extremely Happy Easter Bunnies indeed.

On a separate note, we nearly fell for a foreign scam last week. We received a bulk order from a charming man offering us untold amounts of cash for a speedy transaction on some wooden toys. Smelling a rather large rat, we donned our Jack Frost hats and unearthed some information which pointed towards the deal being based on marshmallow foundations. Rats!

Easter is over and I cannot close my fridge door for the amount of chocolate eggs and novelty sweet treats living within. It is sad to see the back of Easter, but now we can move into the summer range of toys and gifts. Roll on summer parties, camping holidays, wedding days and village fetes... oh and you know where to come for all the accessories.

With love
Emily and Emma x
