Despite the rain today I managed to find a dry spell and set up my photography stuff in the garden for an hour. Some of the things I photographed on Sunday didn't come out very well so today was 'take two' and I am really pleased with the results.
The things I had struggled with were the little badges and mirrors from Snapdragon - I think it's because I am not used to photographing such tiny things. So today I decided on a new approach and tried placing them on complementary backgrounds, rather than my usual product-on-white technique.
Here are the results and I'm really pleased with them!
This is the little dog hand bag mirror - I have put them on a page of my really old copy of The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck, chosen in a rush as I flicked through my children's books looking for a page mentioning a dog! (Although actually you can't read that bit, but it does mention the "his coat was spotted brown and white"):
The christmassy badges - the robin and Christmas pudding - are on a page from an old copy of The Velveteen Rabbit because it mentions Christmas, obviously!
And the little cottage badge is photographed on the picture of the doll's house in The Tale of Two Bad Mice.
And finally I used some bits of my old Moulin Roty tea set to display the cake badges and handbag mirrors.
So I feel quite chuffed with myself today and hope I will sell a few of these little bits and bobs before Christmas. (Especially the Christmas Puddings obviously!!)
You can see all these things, along with other goodies on the new section on the website for Lovely UK Designers.

Hi Charlotte
Thanks for the congrats! :)
Poor Millie's back on antibiotics for her tooth, but this time I've caught it early so fingers crossed it will be nipped in the bud.
Hope little Humphrey is well.
Lots of love
