Beautiful print for our daughter's birthday…

Beautiful print which we got framed for our little daughter's birthday. She helped pick it out from Ailsa's very good website. Love the idea of something that she'll cherish for years. Great to support an independent maker into the bargain. Ailsa added some lovely cards she'd made in to the parcel. Really appreciated.

Thrilled with my purchases

The service was great from start to finish. I am absolutely thrilled with the calendar - a Christmas present for a friend who really likes Ailsa's work. And the hare tea towel will definitely put a smile on another friend's face - she loves hares and you can't possible not like the picture of this one!

A lovely touch receiving a hand written Christmas card in the package.

Beautiful calendar and cards.

I buy Ailsa's calendar every year, it never disappoints. It's always a pleasure to turn the page to a new month and find out what the picture is. So handy for notes and appointments. I also bought some cards and xmas cards this year, an assortment of different pictures and I love them all. Just hard to pick one to send to people! Again, there were a couple of extra cards in the package free as a wee pressie for me :))) Easy ordering on the website and delivered within a few days.
