For the Love of Cute - manartas

Welcome to my new weekly feature: For the Love of Cute. 

A little post once a week to celebrate the love of all things handmade and adorable. 

Our first feature goes to Etsy shop manartas I discovered this shop a few weeks ago and fell in love with these handmade animals from Lithuania. Those faces have such character!

Etsy Germany Press Day

Our little Wedding mice were included in the Etsy German Press day earlier last month. We were so thrilled to have been invited to lend mice for this occasion. The stunning photographs on the EtsyDE facebook page really capture the beauty of a handmade wedding.

The House of Mouse Website Launch with discount code

Apologies that the blog has been so quiet lately. I have been quietly working in the background building our own website www.thehouseofmouse.co.uk We have owned the domain for years and had a couple of disasters setting up the site with web developers. I was never satisfied with the result as I wanted more control over design and content. A few months ago I discovered a service built specifically for our needs! Building it took a loooong time but I am thrilled to announce that I have finally completed it. If you spot any spelling mistakes or other errors please do let me know :) 

To celebrate the launch of our new website, 

we are offering you 10% off EVERYTHING in our store. 

Use the coupon code "THOMLNCH" 

during checkout to receive your discount. 

This code is only valid at www.thehouseofmouse.co.uk

To boldly go where no mouse has gone before...

I have wanted to make Star Trek mice for soooo long! I don't know what stopped me before, but I am loving making them now. And before you ask, yes I am planning on making other series too. Next up will be TNG mice :) I'm really looking forward to trying to make a klingon mouse! haha. Yea, I know, I'm a geek and I love it. I hope you enjoy these little guys.
