Calling all pretty stationary addicts! Our beautiful new notebooks have arrived and we couldn’t be happier with them! All smothered in vintage florals, they are available in 4 of our favourite designs; Bohemian Spirit, Wild Apricity, Vintage Indigo and the limited edition Blooming Fancy giraffe. We decided to go with A5 ring bound notebooks after…
A belated Happy New Year guys! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas break! I took an unplanned social media and blog hiatus over the festive period and also had a sneaky little sunshine break in Tenerife last week! It was lovely while it lasted but I’m definitely ready to throw myself back into work…
It’s the big question on everyone’s lips at this time of year – Have you started your Christmas shopping yet??? Step in Katie Alice Christmas gift guide 2019! I am absolutely loving the current trend of shopping small this festive season! Christmas is such a lovely time to support small businesses like ours! Not only…
I’m so excited to finally share with you these absolute beauties which are now available to buy! As always (because it’s what I love), the floral design comes from a stunning piece of hand painted vintage artwork that deserves so much more than being lost and forgotten. I wanted to modernise the florals with some…
Embrace the magic of life’s simplicities with the Bohemian Spirit collection – new for Spring 2019. Bohemian Spirit appeals to the free spirit in all of us and celebrates positive vibes with uplifting phrases and a bright bouquet of vintage florals. Inspired by a love of British summers and exploring our native land, with camping,…
Have you dropped enough Valentine’s Day hints yet? If you need a bit of inspiration then our Wild Apricity collection, with its blush pink roses and dramatic dark blue backdrop, is the perfect design for this romantic occasion. Here are some of our favourite picks, also including gorgeous new glassware with an ombre effect in…
I can’t quite believe it’s Christmas gift guide time again already! It honestly feels like just a couple of weeks ago I was writing last year’s blog post! This time last year I secretly had a tiny little baby growing in my tummy and this year, as I’m writing this she is snoring away in…
For winter 2018 we head back towards a more traditional style design with our new Wild Apricity collection, whose delicate colour palette is reflective of the changing seasons. As well as the usual inspiration from vintage artwork, Wild Apricity is also inspired by wandering through the market of my beautiful hometown on chilly Friday mornings…
New for Spring 2018, The Eastern Flora Collection reflects my love of travelling in Asia, where I have been lucky enough to visit many times both for work and holiday. With a brother in Thailand for almost 20 years and a sister who has only recently left Hong Kong where she has lived for the past 3…
To celebrate the launch of the lovely new Blooming Fancy collection I decided to make a pretty pink party cake topped with a giraffe in a party hat, of course. This would be just the recipe if you are looking for something fun and summery to bake for the big royal wedding at the weekend! I…
The bright and happy Festival Folk collection has some excited new limited-edition pieces for this summer – our first ever collection of picnic-ware! The scandi-inspired design which sings in a bright festival-inspired colour palate, translates perfectly across to the beautiful new set of pressed bamboo dinnerware and accessories! The lovely new pieces are made from…
Happy Easter weekend! Ignoring the fact that we just had another amber weather warning for snow (come on guys, really?!), it’s kind of starting to feel like winter is on the way out! The clocks have changed and the extra hour of daylight feels like the perfect gift! The blossom is finally starting to burst…
Here we are again then! The twinkly lights are flickering faster than false eyelashes at the works Christmas do, the Christmas emails are flooding in thick and fast and the supermarket aisles are stacked high with plastic tubs full of shiny wrapped chocolates (oh how I mourn the disappearance of a proper tin)… Ah yes,…
Back in 2014 Matt and I popped over to Paris for a couple of days to visit Maison et Objet which is the crème de la crème of the trade shows in the housewares industry. As much as I generally try to avoid going to trade shows, I thought a mid week escape to Paris…
I’m feeling pretty damn proud right now. The Festival Folk collection has been featured in the lovely Country Homes and Interiors magazine – and not just any old feature. Oh no. A cover feature, if you please. Yipeeeee! The front-page article fills a further 8 pages of the glossy mag with beautifully imagery, styled by…
I’m a terrible decision maker. I worry in an unreasonable manor that I’ll make the wrong choice, and this can really apply to just about anything. “Should I go for an all-white colour scheme in the hallway or should I go for dark and moody?” “Should I invest savings into property or into my business?”…
Ditsy Floral first launched back in 2012 and the third Katie Alice collection is still a firm favourite amongst our fabulous customers, especially our amazing following of international customers! The quintessentially English style tea story vibe was achieved through a classic combination of darling shapes, traditional bone china and a dainty floral design. A year…
The late spring flowers are just starting to retire for the year with the clematis montana no longer at its best and the lilac’s ruffles turning weary and brown. Not that I’m complaining – far from it because all this means that summer is right on our doorstep. Wonderful, wonderful summer who I miss so…
For summer this year we have added some cute new products to the Pretty Retro collection in the form of trays and textiles – the perfect additions for this everyday range. Pretty Retro was first launched in Autumn 2015 and it’s popularity has meant we’ve been able to expand it’s prettiness onto more lovely things…
I get so excited when we’re about to launch a new collection. Well, excited and nervous/self-conscious in equal parts really. It can be quite a lengthy process developing new products and new collections – at the moment for example I’m working in ideas for Autumn/Winter 2017 already! So it’s always lovely to finally get to…
Hello! Welcome to the Katie Alice blog! This little space is where I can keep you up to date with what we’ve been busy doing, as well as new product and collection launches. I also like to throw in the odd recipe, music playlist or competition, and sometimes just a bit of general chit-chat is in order. And almost always with pretty photos... Enjoy!
