Trick or Treat

  

 Happy Halloween!!

What have you all got planned on this very wet Halloween? Scary ghost tours, Fancy Dress Parties, Digging out your favourite scary movie?

Don't let their scary appearance full you! These gruesome little cupcakes are delicious to the core!

Made by the talented guys and girls at Cuckoo's Bakery,  

You are sure in for a treat when you visit their little tea room and bakery on Dundas Street.

How many guys and girls out Trick or Treating will be lucky enough to get one of these little guys? We're hoping we are! Watch out for those ghosts and ghouls tonight! BOOOooooo!!!

Bring Your Dancing Shoes!

Us girls down at the Red Door Gallery like a boogie every now and again and when all proceeds go to charity it's even better!

Why not get yourself down to the City Cafe this Friday night 27th October and help raise money for the St Columbas New Build.

A Dedicated Follower Of...Devastee

Do you love illustration AND fashion?! Yeah!? Us too! That's why the french design duo Devastee are so ace! Francois Alary the brains behind the drawings and Ophelie Klere the brains behind the design, combine their genius to create dark and sinister garments with a cheeky twist all in the strict palette of black and white, all pretty wearable too! Too die for....

@countryhomesmag - You Light Me Up 2!

 We are just pleased as punch to see this beautiful spread in Country Homes & Interiors.  Their November 2012 magazine has a fantastic spread themed around perfect printing, a title which we wholeheartedly agree fits with Sunlight on Closed Lid’s newest print “You Light Me Up (edition 2)”. Our thanks go to Sally Denning, the Feature and Stylist behind the article for listing our Red Door Gallery as the place to visit for the ever popular Sunlight on Closed Lids collection of greeting cards (£3), posters (£10) and prints (£16 – £25 ).
To see more designs by Kate Holiday, the talented illustrator behind the strikingly unique design work of Sunlight on Closed Lids, head on over to her pages on our online shop.
