Oh my goodness the most exciting bit of news popped into my inbox this afternoon.
Clothkits is relaunching in February 2008! I'm so excited, I loved my little clothkit dolls when I was little, and the printed fabrics were so lovely. I have no idea yet if they're re-issuing the vintage stuff or bringing out an updated line - part of me hankers after the 1970s versions again but another part is dying to see what noughties Clothkits will be like...
The news came with a very exciting invitation to take part in a very high profile designer children's show called Kids Modern with my little Dachshunds... but sadly I don't have enough free time or stock to join in. What a shame it would have been a day from heaven...
