Sal’s first illustrated letter placemats – painted on canvas and stuck to cork mats– were created whilst awaiting the belated arrival of her first child. Returning to the UK some years later from adventures aboard, the illustrated alphabet was completed, the theme now being the great British outdoors, and memories of a childhood growing up in Scotland. Hand–drawn then screen printed, these ‘story letters’ are made for curious children looking for adventure and action; yak is yachting, spaniel is skiing and hen – who is out of reach of the hound– is happy!
While the placemats illustrations are fixed, (some letters have a choice of two illustrations), the designs for any personalised name such as MILO or ISLA can be chosen from the story boards or a bespoke illustration can be drawn especially for you: A passion for Fred Astaire and feeding birds inspired the 90th Birthday special occasion illustration below! Do call to discuss.

Children LOVE having their own personalised place around the table. Why not send SIX placemats this Christmas to families who will need every extra inspiration to enjoy Christmas lunch under covid. Choose their initials and add a G for Granny, X for the extra person or F for friend - so anyone can use it! Each design is printed on a background reminiscent of unbleached linen.

Of fowl and animal friends, to complement the placemats or stand alone. Coasters are melamine surface on board and cork backed. Size 100 x 100 x 3.2 mm. Throw one in with your Godchild’s placemat gift for fun. The designs come from some of the letter illustrations so some match some letter mats but all are interchangeable and look good as they share the same colour palette. FOXY FOX is our NEW COASTER this season!

Buy NowA popular present for a new baby, Christmas or birthday. Stick with our illustrated alphabet, as Emilia did– or change one letter design (here the E). Always comes with a list of captions so you can read each letter’s story. Or let us tell your own story, as Maximillian did – by choosing illustrations from our storyboards…. And even buy it for Max the dog, as did one customer on seeing this at a Battersea Christmas Fair. It now hangs above Max’s doggie bed. (Max, of course, is a black Labrador). Names come in blue or coral pink lettering, mounted (50cm x 18cm) or mounted and framed in natural oak, white, grey or black painted wood
