#LovingTheGingham

This week it's all about the gingham.

First imported to Europe as a striped fabric in the 17th century, it was adapted into a check by madcap experimental Mancunians, and the check kinda stuck...

Naughty Dog Naming and Shaming

These photos were sent to me this morning and had me sobbing with laughter... I had to share.

Being the owner of one dog who ate the inside of my beloved Beetle, another dog who ate my wedding cake, and a third dog who I often imagined tucking into my leg while I slept such was her mischief and hunger... I love this!

We've been inspired by these mischievous pooches to create a Creature Clothes Wall of Shame and Mischief - post your naughty pup's Naming & Shaming Pics on our Facebook Page
