a weekend in glasgow

​This weekend we were invited to by Sally of Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes to hang out with her, her boyfriend Keith and their two cats Chi and Harry at they pad in Glasgow.

 

The gang!

We went up with fellow Brighton creatives and pals, Jam and Ali from hello DODO, Toby of i Like CATS and his boyfriend Kieran of Little Mountains. They are all regulars on this blog so you already know all about them!

Sally and Keith organised a crazily jam packed party of a weekend!

When we first arrived we went to the Kelvingrove Museum to see a baby dinosaur exhibition! It was all about their eggs and young and the answer to nearly all the interactive questions was ornithopod.

Little baby dinosaurs! How cute!

We then grabbed the biggest and most delicious ice creams and milkshakes and had a walk around the park. We deserved it, we'd done lots of thinking in the museum!

In the evening we went to a Cèilidh, I think probably the hottest Cèilidh in the world and I was pretty terrible at it, butttt it was so much fun all the same!

Saturday we had Butteries for breakfast, a local Aberdeen breakfast so I'm told, they were delish, if not ridiculously unhealthy, but all the best things are ey!

We went to Glasgow city centre to bumble around the shops, we had an awesome vegan lunch at Mono, which is also a record store! And played find the load bearing minion. (This drove everyone crazy as only Jacques has spotted it, and nobody else could find him)

Now most people have relaxing Sunday's but we decided to go to the Trampoline Park and it was THE MOST FUN EVER! We got to bounce for an hour, we played trampoline dodge ball and basketball and even jumped into a massive foam pit!

Being back in Brighton seems boring in comparison now! We can't wait for Sally and Keith to come and visit us so we can have just as much fun here!

ROAR!

A couple of weeks ago we launched a very selfish project with Toby from i Like Cats.

Starting to work on a collaboration in the autumn is never a good idea as the build up to Christmas is INTENSE and unfortunately fun projects like this get pushed sideways. However as it's spring and things are a little less crazy we were able to have ice cream business meeting and play with all our favourite materials!

Emoji purse covered in cats, dinosaurs and emojis!

I won't lie, Jacques really did indulge us in this project, he's not really a pink and fluffy kinda guy himself buy knew that Toby and I had a vision and we were running with it!

Toby creates a whole range of items from prints to jewellery, and tote bags to pocket mirrors. He has created his own purses before and is the bestest-sewerer in all the land.

I think people like my nail varnish more than the bags in these photos...

We wanted to create something pastely, kawaii, fluffy and obviously including our favourite things, cats, dinosaurs and emojis whilst being inspired by the 90s!

FLUFFY! You can get a fluffy clutch and then put your emoji purse inside! WOAH NOW!

Inside of this FLUFFY BEAUTY!

This came together pretty easily, there were no arguments and Toby and I apparently have exactly the same taste (although Toby loves plushies in a way I never could).

Toby - WERKING IT.

Me - SO OVEREXCITED ABOUT THE BEACH HUT WHERE ZOELLA TAKES PHOTOS!

This is what we made! We LURRRVVVEEE them and I hope you do too!

ROAR!
