#Oglinstakeover day 4

So just 4 more sleeps to go until our big launch, i can safely say that behind the scene’s here at Oglins HQ, its insanely busy.

Here are some of the beautiful photographs from our Etsy shop, ready for the big day!

                                   A super card for anyone who loves all things camper van.
                                        Looks like they’ve packed everything but the kitchen sink

A fun post card to send when its really chucking it down on Bongnor Bay – I wont tell if you don’t.

 

 

All tucked up beneath snuggley blankets, listening to the gentle sigh of the sea, with your feet buried deep in soft warm golden sand – Sounds serene, no wonder Bobin has fallen asleep.                                                                                                      

Even our cello card bags get in on the action – so pretty.

 

                             Yes even the bags get a picture and quite rightly so, they are so pretty!                                                                        

More updates and photos tomorrow as we edge ever closer to opening day! 

The count down is on #Oglinstakeover

Yes ,its only 5 more sleeps until my Etsy shop will open its doors.

Here’s a little peek at whats in store – pardon the pun!

Moe is the sweetest little Oglin I’ve ever met…
and now here’s lots of little Moe’s on the cover of her very own hand bound note book- which can only be a good thing.

 

                                     ‘This walk can take as long as it likes’ said Gurtie..
                                                                    and I quite agree.
                                            Those are the prettiest flowers, I’ve ever seen.

                                                                     Bobin is up to his usual tricks.
                          And by that we mean Magic ones – because we could all do with a little bit magic sometimes.

                                                                   I love a good book – Don’t you?
Bobin certainly does, and when he’s not busy performing magic tricks, you’ll find him busy with a book

 

                                            If its the sweet stuff your after, then you are in luck!
The penny sweet note card will be available to purchase, so you too will be able to send sweet nothings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

More Updates and sneak previews tomorrow  # Oglins #Oglinstakeover

We have some very exciting news!!

The Oglins and I have been away for a little while, on a jolly holiday you might say,

a very Jolly holiday indeed.

but now were back we have exciting news to share.

On the 31st of May 2014 we will be launching our very own ‘Oglins’ shop via Etsy, so everyone can have their very own little bit of Oglin lovleyness.

As you can imagine we are very busy preparing for our big day. Here are just a few of the prints that we will be using to turn all manor of everyday things, into something a little more magical:

Bipins Journal and his own range of seeds – to keep your garden looking lovely.

Eedys note book, and treasure hunting kit, because you never know what you’ll find once you start looking.

Gurties Recipe Journal, for keeping safe all your favorite recipes

and Gurties very own Tea Towel – drying the dishes has never been more fun

 

Moe’s very pretty badges, and wrapping paper

Another Moe Bodge  – for brightening up rainy days.

Oglins, Oglins everywhere!!
Yes there soon will be, once this print is made into a pretty fabric for making lots of pretty things.

Who loves sweets?
                                                            Me – especially the penny kind.

More penny sweets! This print will be on the sweet bags.

Yes somewhere out there summer is slowly making its way towards us, so what better way to feel summery than this jolly seaside holiday print. What do you like to do beside the seaside?

And here’s another one, just in case you want to really get into the sun shine mood.

 

As you can see, we have been very, very busy and there’s still lots more to do!!!

So from this week on-wards we will be updating you every week with our new design, ideas and shop gossip. Then from May we will be counting down the weeks, days and hours until the shop goes lives, whilst in between having lots of fun with special offers, goodie bags and competitions – Hurrah!!

Pages 5 & 6

 

 

 

 

and finally pages 9 & 10

 

This is a work in progress & will be made into  final book- Yipeeee!!

Oglins in space, the journey continues….

The crew are ready for blast off, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6……

Wow!! The Oglins are in space. Zoom Zoom Zoom, there going to the moon….

Phew, all this space travel is hungry work, so lets eat.

A space picnic is a very messy picnic indeed, but what fun!

I would like to have a floating picnic too – wouldn’t you?

After all that food the Oglins, are ready for a Space Walk – on the Moon!!!!.

What a very busy day the Oglins have had, but now there space adventure is coming to an end.

 

The little rocket zooms around the moon one last time, (just for good measure)….

Then their homeward bound, and just in time for supper too- Peaches and Cream, delicious.

The End

Eedy makes a new discovery…

A penny, a shiny, golden, lucky penny…

 

‘Wow’ says Bobin, ‘But how do you get the luck out?”

That’s a very good question.

What do you think.

Now Gurtie and Bipin are in the bag too..

 

Gurtie is looking forward to using he new bag, she likes to carry a biscuit with her at all times. I hope there wont be lots of crumbs in the bottom Gurtie…

 

Here is Bipins Rucksack, which I’m sure he will be filling with tomatoes very soon, he loves to eat tomatoes…

And here they are all together so far

 

 

 

 

Moe’s in the bag

Today myself and Moe have been busy making something very special

Ta-Dah!!!!

Just the right size for all those Oglin essentials…

Only problem is all the Oglins want one now!!
