Relax your worth it

I am frantically trying to pack, organise Faye and Christian as well as finishing some work off. We fly Sunday afternoon to NY and Faye is bouncing around the house totally excited and hyper. Enjoy your weekend everyone, I will be taking a break from blogging for the next week but will be back hopefully with so many photos of some fab places to visit in New York, The Hamptons and Boston.
I will be checking my mail so if you think of where to go let me know.

Do you know where to go?

Hello all here is a quick request, I am off to New York next week for 4 days and then driving to Boston. Do you know of any lovely tea rooms or antique stores to visit or anything that you think I would like to see.
Thank you xxx







Faye was 15 a couple of weeks ago and this trip was her surprise birthday present, I booked it last November and have been just bursting to tell her. I love NY and we thought a road trip to Boston would be wonderful, Christian and I want to build our own slatted wooden home in Australia and so we will be taking lots of photos as we drive through the Hamptons on our way to Boston. If you know of any lovely stores let me know and I will drop by along the way.

New Advert

Keep an eye out for our new advert that will be featuring in many trade and retail publications. This was just one of the photos that I took last week, I think it worked quite well.

Country Living Fair

A really big thank you to you all for dropping by the stand, we had an amazing show and all of your comments and suggestions have been noted and have got my creative mind racing. The next retail shows we will be attending are the London Christmas Fairs in November at Spirit, Olympia and the Country Living, Islington.

All the new gift lines are being photographed and will be on the online store in the next few days.


I have made another small amount of the button hearts so if you would like to purchase one click here to see selection.

Photo Shoot

The sun was out today so after finishing some artwork off in the morning Christian and I did a photo shoot at the bottom of our garden using our little shed as a back drop. With lots of the new gift lines released last week we thought some lovely photographs were needed for the Cavania web store.

40,000 amazing

The Cavania blog has received just over 40,000 hits and I am totally amazed and can't believe how lovely you all are. So I thought what else has this magic number associated with it.... so here are some crazy facts from the world of the web.


Duomo is the third largest gothic cathedral in the world. The church has five aisles with seating space for 40,000 worshippers. Location: Piazza del Duomo, Milan, Italy.

Approximately 40,000 tons of meteoric dust hits the Earth each year.

A elephants trunk contains more than 40,000 muscles and tendons and its tip is very sensitive, making it very precise (elephants can pick up from the floor objects which are the size of a coin).

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served first class.

The exosphere is the outermost layer of the atmosphere, and extends to 40,000 miles above the earth. It is here that molecules escape from the atmosphere without colliding with other molecules. Throughout the history of our planet most of the lighter molecules have escaped through the exosphere (exo means "out of"), while the heavier molecules, such as nitrogen and oxygen, have remained.

In Chinese script, there are more than 40,000 characters.

The largest single feature on Earth is the ocean ridges which form a great mountain range, almost 40,000 miles (64,000 km) long, that weaves its way through all the major oceans.

Top Cavania Stores

We are going to be featuring our top Cavania stores over the next few months, and to start here we have 'Kado' in Princess Risborough, Buckinghamshire. Kado is dutch for the word card, which is also where Ellen the owner is from. The store is filled to the roof with lots of lovely cards and gifts, and has such a loyal customer base and Ellen is looking to expand the store to add an even bigger gift offering. As you can see by the photographs below Kado has an extensive Cavania selection so if you are local do pop by and say hello.

Afternoon tea

The Spring sunshine is perfect weather for afternoon tea, cake stands of buns and cupcakes, plates of cute triangle sandwiches, what a great excuse to get the posh china out.
