China gurl: we heart 'The Art Salon'

We all know that at reetsweet we love a splash of colour, a bit of humour, sillyness and fashion in our handmade - but you know what we also love? Sheer prettiness...The Art Salon specialises in one of a kind homewares - all with a high fashion, super pretty finish.

They've just opened at Redbrick Mill in Batley where 'the work on display is inspired by a love of decorative art, objects and design. All objects and artworks are lovingly handmade by Rebecca Appleby with selected items exhibited by other designer-makers...'

The aim is to create a gallery-shop that showcases a varied and continually changing selection of original, unique pieces, and you can catch these pieces in Leeds city centre in the buzz of Christmas at reetsweet on Dec 7th. Hurrah!

Little cutie: Meet Yee Ting Yuit

At reetsweet we continue to be surprised and delighted by the work that is submitted to us and the joy it often brings: life can be tough but it's these little things that add a smile to people's days and that's important.

The work of Yee Ting Yuit sums up this joy; it's full of humour, colour and love and we're proud to have her at the December event.

Yee graduated from Falmouth College of Arts and works full time freelance creating logos, design and website visuals and also has her own online shop. She loves tea, sushi and crochet. Our ideal kind of lady!
