Lovely Pigeon is one of my favourite websites and it's not harder to see
why. There are attractive prints, adorable jotter and even a scattering
of best articles for sale. I begin Lovely Pigeon if I was analytic for
Christmas presents for accompany of a architecture alignment and came
beyond these appealing prints of birds and added things.
Lovely Pigeon is the conception of Kirsty Thomas who started bearing
the Mr Pigeon lino prints in 2009 from a flat in her home in Cellardyke
on the East Coast of Scotland. Kirsty is a designer, illustrator and, as
she puts it "an casual shopkeeper". She makes all these admirable
things (and jewellery too) and sometimes opens a boutique to advertise
her articles and advertise the plan of added Scottish and UK makers.
Kirsty is aggressive by abounding things that we actuality at YHIL aswell like : "I adulation block colour and geometry, mid-century design, flea markets and typography," she says. "I am aggressive by humans like Charles and Ray Eames, Charlie Harper and Lucienne Day and their all-embracing and across-the-board access to design. I am aswell amorous about interiors and my abode and flat sees an ever-changing accumulating of best chairs and awe-inspiring bowl dogs." And, below, you can see the amplitude area she channels her inspirations...
There's also a small but perfectly formed range of stationery featuring the eponymous lovely pigeons but also cute animal sets and a newly introduced range of geometrically influenced notebooks.

But why the name Lovely Pigeon? “I didn't absolutely accept an
assessment on pigeons until I set up the company," she explains. "But
I've back developed a affection for them " there are some attractive
country pigeons annular here! The Mr Pigeon lino book was one of the
aboriginal pieces to be launched and I still adulation it – he has a
blink in his eye and is now the 'face' of the Lovely Pigeon brand."
My favourites are these attractive dejected buck and airship set of
two prints (ВЈ14) and the chestnut aghast Anstruther bound copy prints
(ВЈ40). In fact, abounding of Kirsty's hand-pulled prints are produced
in bound copy runs and are a actual affordable way to bang alpha your
own artcollection. There's aswell some ablaze upcycled teatowel cushions
featuring anniversary destinations that are as ablaze and aerated as a
bullpen of sangria (ВЈ18-ВЈ25)
And Kirsty tells me: “Lovely Pigeon is all about authoritative humans
smile." I anticipate this is apparently why I wish appealing abundant
aggregate that's for auction at Lovely Pigeon...
