VALENTINES?






Not feeling the love this year? Think of those less fortunate with this 'happy singles awareness' day card. Hand printed onto a snazzy romantic pink from the hands of our very own Leigh Jennings.
Nook & Cranny have an alternative for everything! 

VALENTINES









With so many wonderful cards and a wide choice in saying 'I love you', 'I miss you', 'let's get it on', we've set up a sweet display to showcase the variety with a few gift ideas snuggled in. Even if you're single, why not buy one of Nicola Rowlands pug pillows or Beci Callows pink printed animal cushions to have something to snuggle up to?

Surprise post!









Appropriately, we search every nook and cranny for artists and designers alike who need the praise and recognition they deserve. However, some slip through the net. Luckily for Kirsty Baynham, she took it upon her own initiative to send us a beautifully wrapped parcel full of goodies and samples to tempt us. What a delightful surprise to cheer us up on a miserably cold day!

Artists and designers or people with questions and comments can contact us at enquiries@nookandcrannyshop.co.uk, can pop in store at Nook & Cranny, The Bluecoat Chambers, School Lane, Liverpool L1 3BX or messaging us through Facebook.

Anti Valentines or Recession savvy?





A genuine Valentines card design on sale at all Asda stores in the UK for only 7p. Complete with the famous Asda logo, green text, a snazzy red envelope and reading 'my love for you is priceless' inside. Personally, we think it's brilliant, simple, effective and really quite funny.
We found out about it here.

Valentines with Nicola Rowlands








Nicola Rowlands lets you wear your heart on your sleeve this Valentines day with a sweet Beagle dog illustrated card, simply declaring 'Kiss Me', a 'you are totally the best' pocket mirror and small 'you are wonderfully wonderful' cushion. Keep the card by your bed, the mirror in your pocket and the cushion by your side and always know you are loved.

Valentines : Hey Foxy!









This Valentines day do you want to show someone you quite fancy them, think they're a bit of alright but don't want to go for all that lovey-dovey stuff? I Love Paper Heart have a 'hey foxy' card which goes perfectly with Bels Art Worlds hand painted fox brooch. A smooth little link to showing someone you think they're pretty foxy themselves.
