Back to business!

We've been a bit quiet in the blogasphere for a while now, but it's all been for a perfectly good reason - the birth of our own little Rani! As a family business we've learnt to juggle quite a few different tasks and parenthood is definitely the hardest one so far!

We've still been dispatching all your orders, and have been busy getting inspiration for new products. This week we are providing Stag and Bow with a whole new collection of our lovely vintage kantha quilts. We'll update you once they have them in the shop so those of you who are local to Forest Hill (London) can pop in and see our quilts for yourselves. Happy shopping! 

Press Coverage for Raja and Rani

You'll find our quilts featured in a few magazines this summer!

The Moroccan theme is still going strong in interiors and the feature in the August issue of Living Etc showcases a fabulous home near Marrakech filled with traditional Moroccan detail with a modern twist. Our vintage kantha silk quilt has been featured as a way to get a taste of the moroccan vibe in your home with it's rich colours and patterns.

August Issue

Continuing the global theme, the August issue of Living North magazine has a great feature on well travelled interior pieces for your home. Our favourites include these oriental style floating candles from Habitat and authentic hand painted tiles from Fired Earth. Of course our vintage kantha silk quilts get another mention too!

Shopping made easier!

We've been beavering away on our website to make it even easier for you to buy our vintage kantha cushions.

It's taken some putting together, but now you can hand pick the design you want rather than us selecting one for you. Images of the front, back and detail of the design can be seen for each cushion. We've got lots of lovely designs in stock, but as they are all unique, once they're gone, they're gone!

The links to get you started are here and here.

Happy Shopping!

Happy Valentines Day!

I never like to get caught up in the whole Valentines Day 'thing' but… if it's an excuse to make some yummy food then I'm in!

For me, the best part of any meal is always the dessert (true, right?) and I've been waiting for an excuse to make this gorgeous yummy recipe for Masala Chai ice cream. It's smooth, creamy and with a hint of spice - perfect! I hope the other half likes it  - I have a feeling he will! 

Enjoy!
