My name is Aneta, and I love good design. Pretty much anything, really: vintage prints, elegant old fonts, contemporary styling, and retro classics. I realised that other people love the same things, so decided to start my own business making cushions that appealed to me – and see if anyone else wanted them.
This business was born around the same time as my younger son, in 2012, and after some trial and error, we discovered what our customers love, and have run with it. After only a year, my partner Dominic left his job as a computer engineer to join me, and since then we've got married, so we're truly a husband-and-wife business! We do our best to keep on the right side of child labour laws, but our boys do help out sometimes. Stuffing cushions can be fun, with the right motivation…
Everything we sell is handmade by us, at our home here in Blairgowrie, using natural fabrics – a cotton/linen mix in several different colours. The back is always the same fabric as the front, and you can add a hidden message, like 'with love from…' or 'I still say your feet smell' if you fancy! The cushions are fastened with a zip at the bottom, so you don't see it when the writing is the right way up.
Our aim is to provide beautiful, unique gifts to help you celebrate the special people in your life. Whether that's a wedding gift for your other half, an anniversary gift for friends, a housewarming or new baby present, something a bit different for Christmas, or a 'just because' present for your partner, they're sure to love it. And because we can supply with or without cushion pads, the covers make excellent gifts to post to distant family members – chat to us about postage, as we've posted to some pretty obscure places before, so I'm sure we'll make it work for you.
Our inspiration comes from old typography, labelling, songs, poetry, and comments from customers. We're always happy to discuss a completely bespoke design if you can't find quite what you need in our regular products – drop us a line!
