just before I go home

Just before I go home for the weekend, here's a teeny peek into the cuteness that landed on my desk this morning...

Have a good weekend folks,

Gocco!

This week I've been working with intern Heather creating a new look for the Hannah Zakari website and craft fair stalls. This has resulted us spending the last couple of days gocco-ing the craft fair bags with a pretty design and given me a headfull of ideas on the HZ stall which is going to be super cute! Anyway, here's the bags, hot off the printing press...

Coming soon...

Barely a week goes by when I don't get some gorgeous new stock in to HZ HQ, and this week has been no exception.

Over the next month I have 5 - yes 5! - new designers lined up for HZ, some of whom will be making their preview at the Bust Craftacular, and some others who will be online in the next couple of weeks.

I've been working hard on the home wares selection and the new website will have a fully fledged 'Handmade Home' full of treats from some of the best indie crafters around which I'm very excited about. Here's a preview of 2 designers who are exclusive to Hannah Zakari in the UK -

Firstly, a range of uber cute forest inspired vases:



And a range of vases based on North American trucks:

Beautiful teapots:

And cute ceramic necklaces:


Of course, we won't be neglecting the jewellery - oh no! We have this super cute ranged ready to go online any moment now:



And I can't go without sharing with you some pieces from HZ fave Me Me Me and her beautiful ceramic jewellery, available online very soon indeed!





Pheweee! It's a tough job but somebody has to do it...

Interviews

Have you ever wanted to know more about Hannah Zakari, how it all started, or who's behind it all? Well, now you can!

Way back in June I was interviewed by the lovely Anissa for awesome German blog Handmade 2.0 and you can read the results right here. (It's in English too!)

And just last week Made In The Shade gal Carrie interviewed me for her 'Watcha Doin'' column in The Skinny, which you can read here.

It's great fun doing these interviews and spreading the word about HZ - I hope you enjoy reading them too!

Bust Summer Craftacular

Yippee! You can come and visit Hannah Zakari in London at the Bust Craftacular on 22nd August 2009. Hope to see you there!

The Small Object...

The Small Object is back at Hannah Zakari - whoopee!

I've posted this picture before, but if you want to see what the Little Sweeties look like before they're ready for a girls night out then look no further than here!

More sneak peeks...

Cheesy peeps, it's been a hectic few weeks here at HZ-HQ! The kind folk at Star magazine featured us last week and things just went a bit mental... can't complain though, I now have lots of lovely new customers and have sold masses of stuff for my designers - yay!

Today I have a few sneak peeks for you, a brand new designer and a selection of peeks from the new Dazed Dorothy collection.

First up, Dazed Dorothy with, as always, a stunning collection of leather clutches.




Later this week there will be another new designer to the HZ posse, all the way from Italy with a collection of vintage vinyl wallpaper goodness.
Bags, boxes and lunch bags:




Necklaces and earrings:


Everything will be available online later this week :)

New today!

This morning I've added yet another new designer, It really is non stop here right now!

Doloris Petunia is from New York and the label is named after designer Courtney Prince's pet doggie - cuuute! Here's some of the highlights from a small but very sweet collection:



Last week I introduced another new designer, Cosas Mínimas. J'adore these beautiful illustrations and have 4 (yes 4!) lined up above my desk at home which looks fab. Here's a selection of my faves:



I was going to post some sneak peeks too, but I think that's enough for now to whet your appetite...

What's happening in July...

I've got so much amazing new stuff coming up this month, I know I say this all the time and it is always true but this month it feels like there is even more about to happen than usual! I'm waiting on orders coming in from a about million* new designers and the last week has been a flurry of parcels and drop offs and emails full of pretty things.

Over the next few weeks I'll be updating here and on Facebook with pictures of new pieces and info on when you'll be able to buy them on Hannah Zakari.
