It’s a mere 11 days away from the royal wedding of William and Kate, and I’ve seen a lot of stuff that’s out there in the market to commemorate the occasion (plates and cups, anyone?) so much so that everything looks almost similar, with the usual style of both the royal couple’s faces plastered on everything and ANYTHING that you can put a finger on. I’m all for portraits, but this is really getting way out of hand!

Enter this fun little corgi tea towel from To Dry For by the inimitable Gemma Correll that has:
1. No pictures of the lovely couple (hmmm..)
2. An illustration of a corgi instead. (yay!)

I’d say this is a shoo in for those who want something fun to remember the occasion by – especially when that 155th cup starts to look awfully familiar to plate #43.

I’m pretty much in love with everything in Leah Duncan’s shop these days. There’s so many pretty illustrations (with a lovely color palette too, I might add) that makes me want to start collecting them all and surround myself with them all at once. Luckily there’s quite a range of products in her shop that will allow you to do so if you’re really in the mood to do so – there’s tea towels, pillow cases, prints and scarves, oh my!

Her story is an inspiring one as well – in 2008 she left her job as a graphic designer having racked up experience in advertising and a screen printing companies and moved to Austin, where she taught herself illustration, sewing and surface design. The rest, as they say is history. Catch up with her via her blog and see more at her website.
