daisy loves… Pi’s vintage dogs
One of our very favourite websites is Lasso the Moon a showcase for talented UK designers run by ex-magazine editor Laura Dunkley. Whether you’re looking for the perfect wedding, baby or birthday gift or want to treat yourself to something gorgeous, this is the place to go!
One of their featured designers is Pi – designer and maker of these gorgeous vintage dogs made from vintage fabrics and pure wool. All of Pi’s pieces are unique and are design from the swathes of vintage fabric she has collected, mixed with pure new wool, linen and cotton.
You will find Florrie, Bessie, Gilbert, George, Oscar, Freddy, Ronnie, Reggie, Hattie, Hercule, Gregory and Bertram. Even the names are divine!
daisy loves… our new home!
Hello and welcome to our new blog home! When we started daisy loves… a couple of months ago we weren’t 100% sure where it was going to go but now we have been blogging for a while we can’t get enough! So we decided to take the plunge and do it properly with our own URL and a brand new look. Please take a look around our new home and make sure you come back on a regular basis to read about new finds, new interviews, hear what we’ve been up to and even grab yourself some freebies!
We have put our first two items into our Etsy Shop with more on the way. We decided to launch it a little early and kick off with the Rescue Range of bandanas – the sale of which will raise money to help GWP Rescue Inc, a charity based in Kansas that rescues German Wirehaired Pointers who have been abandoned or are no longer wanted or who have been rescued from puppy mills. Take a look at their website to see the puppies they have just rescued in a massive raid – well over 20!
We hope you enjoy our new blog and new look and we would love to hear your comments! If you would like us to interview you or review your product or shop then we would love to hear from you as well – just get in touch via the contact page.
We look forward to hearing from you! x
daisy loves… our first freebie!
downloadable cupcake shop list
While scribbling my shopping list on the back on an old envelope this morning (having run out of my gorgeous fridge magnet list pages) I was inspired to create my own pretty shopping list to print out and use. I liked it so much I thought you might too so you can download it here as our very first freebie!
Needless to say doing all this was much more interesting than hitting the aisles of the supermarket so the shopping has yet to be done…

daisy loves…funky fairtrade
We came across this very funky fairtrade furniture in this week’s issue of Design Week. The Prince Mo sofa (top) the Barrel chair (left) and Mariam swivel seats (right), are created from recycled pieces which are upholstered with vintage and contemporary fabrics, designed in Lebanon by the Bokja design partnership of Hoda Baroudi and Maria Hibri. Just gorgeous!
