teresa green has left the uk headed for o'suz

"The importance of our range having a function is also key- the utilitarian, functionality and the design play equal roles.

The items are a canvas for the prints, and are designed around the shape and layout of each object.

I have a passion for antique kitchenallia- especially kitchen scales and ladle shaped spoons. Both grandpa’s have also fed my imagination with crammed sheds full of old garden objects and treasure-I have an obsession for elongated watering cans and apple ladders…."

victoria and albert goods just came in!!!!

coincidentally, while jessica was visiting the v&a museum in london, i was here ordering victorian inspired goods from wild and wolfs v and a collection.

these hydrangeas are stunning and welcomed jessica to the museum.

here is just some of what u will find at o'suz now, waiting to welcome you!!
(hydrangeas here just don't look like those in england anymore, toooo hot!)

kennet kitchen drawer kit: "kennet was designed in 1883 by william morris and its meandering stems, acanthus leaves, and flowers are a reaction against victorian industrialization. it was successfully produced as wallpaper, woven silks, and printed fabrics."

hammer and scissors feature the well-known anemone design.

"daisy was the first wallpaper produced by morris & co. in 1864 and was inspired by medieval tapestries."

v&a cray print collection

"cray is a famous print design by william morris and was the most complex and expensive design produced in 1884 as it required 34 printing blocks."

"the patterns come from a volume of wallpapers, which form part of the most comprehensive collection of arts & crafts in the world, housed at the v&a."

new ilee designs

ilee designs has new cards, here are just a few!

new goods are still rollin' in!

kit and lili.
what can we say.
it's an amazing line of 100% cotton canvas bags, printed on both sides, making them reversible.
the shapes include the tech case, perfect for teles and ipods with its quilted lining, 3 pouch sizes, a medium tote, a large tote and the newest laptop case.
the patterns we love most are their classic owls on chocolate reversing to red dots, red owls on cream reversing to brown dots, the newest printed woodgrain reversing to green pebbles, grey pebbles reversing to light blue pebbles, and green leaves reversing to pink hearts.. these images just can't do them justice. they are stunning in person.
p.s. petite bebe carries kit and lili baby and kids clothes!!

...you don't want to miss at least a peek at the treehouses, they are nothing short of incredible,

also, including scarves, summer hats and bags this time!

"Jenna illustrates each design by hand, drawing inspiration from daily life with a focus on eco-friendly objects and environments. Each piece is screen-printed in house using non-toxic water-based pigments and natural and organic materials."

longer days....

are upon us and none to soon. as spring seems be just around the bend, we are in high gear at the shop. the boxes are rolling in near faster then we can find homes for their juicy contents. this is definitely one of many rewards for us, for all the rearranging and revamping we have been doing. the new merch always makes us and our kind peeps smile. this is a good thing don'tcha think? who does not want to smile at this point? winter has seemed long and arduous at times, so chin up, come by and see our new windows for spring and all the new goodies (and bring us a smile while your at it).

introducing SHIRALEAH (super reasonable) vegan bags and wallets:




more pieces of shiraleah coming. some cool pewter bags and wallets and some more bright colors including more lime and a really pretty yellow.
ahhh, spring!
