This year Jewellery Week is a national event so the old London Jewellery Week branding has been replaced with our new logo. There are two versions, the full worded logotype and a monogram which is used as a decorative device. We wanted to create a stylish marque that would embrace the breadth of the jewellery industry from fine to contemporary and from high street to bespoke. The linking JW adds a little flourish which echoes the links in a chain and symbolizes the industry joining together to celebrate their craft.

Another find from Islington’s wonderful ‘Past Caring’ which is the kind of old junk shop that hardly exists anymore. We just love the simplicity of the chunky font, the embossed faux leather paper and the embossing of the type itself. Each letter is defined so that the embossing plate is multi-layered and sculptured to create that plump cushioned effect. Yum!

International health charity Merlin is using one of our tattoo illustrations in a Mother’s Day appeal. We were asked if we would donate use of our Swallow tattoo by JWT and we were happy to do so. The card shown above will be printed in Big Issue (out 12th March) and the idea is that you donate £3 to help train midwives and help save the lives of countless mums-to-be in countries where there is a dangerous shortage. You give your mum the printed card to show her that you have donated in her honour. If you cannot get hold of Big Issue you can still donate to the appeal by texting MUMS03 to 70070.

This little book was first published in 1951 and is a wonderful insight into Festival of Britain, round-the-clock London. Illustrated by Osbert Lancaster, London Night and Day is full of tourist facts and figures including a list of night clubs with entrance fees, pubs by area and restaurants. I picked it up for the cover at the Hay on Wye literature festival but it wasnt until I started reading it that I became enchanted.

OK so it’s spiral binding - but how clever is this re-use of old annual book covers and coasters rebound as notebooks and journals. We picked these up at a Vintage fair in Islington, fully intending to send them as christmas gifts but we couldn’t part with them. Made by Retro From Scratch the Schoolgirl Annual is just the right side of naughty and the Pony coaster - the little drink with the big kick - was one of my favourite teenage tipples back in 1981.

Sometimes an idea is so simple you just can’t help but admire it (and wonder why you never thought of it). These ‘Toast It’ coasters are perfectly conceived and packaged, designed by Patricia Naves and bought at the MOMA store in NYC. We love them.
