Once upon a time there were two little girls who spent hours making up songs and dances about two hippos called Hippo and Hongo. Those little girls have grown up, and along with their mothers and Hongo's sister (sometimes known as Sammy the Seal), are setting up a "Fruits and Shoots" themed pop up shop in Anstruther, Fife on SATURDAY 21ST JULY (eeek!). This blog will document their progress and the wares on sale. For more information email [email protected].

i can only hope that the people of anstruther like ridiculous earrings as much as i do! i've been making rather a lot... these ones are made from pretty patterned wooden beads.
