Sharron Goodyear Photography

Last September I was invited to have a stall at the Fordcombe Village Fete near Tunbridge Wells in Kent. It is such a beautiful part of the world and this pretty village was the perfect backdrop for the very english tradition of an annual end of summer fete, complete with vintage car display, Punch and Judy, a dog show and some lovely stalls. My kind of event!

The sun was shining and there was a relaxed and happy buzz to the fete. It has been run every year since the 1950's and so there really is something for everyone, including a rather lovely tea tent, with tables groaning under the weight of homemade cakes. Unfortunately for me,it was on the other side of the dog show arena!

It is so exciting when someone comes along and completely falls in love with our vintage style nightwear, which is just what Sharron Goodyear from Lollipops and Little Ones did that afternoon. Lollipops and Little Ones is a family lifestyle blog with all kinds of useful info for Mums and Dads from healthy eating, beauty product reviews, photo, gift and activity ideas for all the family. Sharron is an accomplished, award winning portrait and wedding photographer and she happily offered to take some photos of her three beautiful children in our vintage pyjamas. These are just a few of the images we have used recently on our site. 






This pretty nightdress featuring this sweet little night owl is always one of our best sellers


I love the cheeky expression of her youngest here. He looks so handsome in these transport Pjs. All our Pjs from Powell craft are 100% soft cotton and suitable from age one. I remember being so excited when my boys were old enough to wear a proper pair of big boy pyjamas and left the baby jumpsuit designs behind.
Oh those were the days!

Happy New Year with 20% off

January brings the snow.....

Well, January is nearly over and surely I'm not alone in thinking "yay"! With endless muddy dog walks, hacking coughs, grey drizzly skies,(we didn't even have a sprinkling of snow), tax returns and school exams it's no wonder we have literally been hiding under a big snuggly blanket and waiting for February to arrive!  

We had a great Christmas season both online and at all the Fairs we attended with our lovely vintage inspired range of traditional nightwear and gorgeous toys. January is literally the month for taking stock and planning where and what we are going to sell in the year ahead. Selling at fairs and markets is a big part of our business because we love meeting our customers and hearing feedback. Something you just can't really get a feel for online.

For the rest of January we are offering 20% off our whole range, so now is a good opportunity to stock up on some Pjs for the Spring. Just use code Jan20 at the checkout.












Happy New Year to you all and best wishes for 2015!
