There isn’t the words to explain when you set up your own business and start to think about own branded stuff. Business cards, postcards, fliers – all with your own happy handmades, details of your wares and how to get in touch.
I think the tradition started in the Victorian times (must check my facts on that) where tall fancy fellas would pass out their calling cards as they started up their new business ideas.. I’m imagining a sort of anti Lord Sugar figure. OK maybe I’m romanticising the whole thing and of course none of that is based on any facts.. but the facts that do remain are;
1. there is nothing finer than having a well designed business cards that reflect you and your business
2. you have to have a good great printing company to back them up
Look no further than Moo. The coolest card company to come along in these modern times! Hot bang sizzling bright colours, beautiful finish and excellent service.
I buy my business cards, tags and postcards from them and wanted to share with you.
The long thin mini-cards are perfect for me and my slight bi-polar tendencies on wanting many (if not all) different colours on my Extinct Logo. You can add up t0 100 different designs to show case your work, be it crafty makes, photography or 100 different eye make-up designs (OMG! How lush would that be.)
I use them not only to hand out but as tags for my many different makes.
Moo also produce standard sized business cards which are sweet as! I can use lots of different images on these too, they are that much bigger that my pictures work well on them. The print quality really does speak for itself, you almost don’t want to let them go… I always get a lovely reaction to them as they are far more exciting than the usual bizo card.
The site itself is easy to use. You create the image file yourself (there’s lots of help on there to show you the best sizes etc) upload them, edit if necessary and purchase. You will get sent a confirmation of your order and an update a few days later when they’ve been shipped out to you. If you are interested in having THE best business cards, stickers, tags to show off check out their site at www.moo.com
At the moment you can try 50 cards for FREE at Moo.
New items in store now! Yeah, yeah I said it once, I’ll say it again!

Imagine just having in your hands the type of notebook used by the great, thinkers, artists, poets, among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A simple black rectangle with rounded corners, an elastic page-holder, and an internal expandable pocket: a nameless object with a spare perfection all its own, produced for over a century by a small French bookbinder that supplied the stationery shops of Paris, where the artistic and literary avant-gardes of the world browsed and bought them. A trusted and handy travel companion, the notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.
The legendary Moleskine notebooks have been lovingly up-cycled with hand painted oh-so-pretty vintage wallpaper!
Only one of each style available!!
I really like the colour mixes of these papers as well the designs which are reminiscent of many contemporary designers and high street designs.
The perfect little vintage notebook for all you ideas led creators!

All my thought eggs have been hatching nicely – had the new bed arrive from www.indigofurniture.co.uk on Monday and yes it has transformed our lives (just as we knew it would)
I had an idea about a 70s sideboard too – and low and behold up one pops on freecycle just for me! Thank you very much Mr Universe for putting that one my way…needs a little love and attention but that’s part of it.
The house is coming on a treat and now with the log cabin all sitting (very) pretty in the garden I have all the right footings to take this baby to the next level – Blast off to my 31st Birthday!!
