With Valentines fast approaching I thought I would write about some of the common symbols associated with love and affection. There are many reasons why these iconic symbols have been associated with St. Valentine’s Day and the expression of love

Who doesn’t love an anniversary? Especially the tradition of giving your loved one a gift or card that symbolises the strength and number of years you’ve been married? I personally prefer to stick with the traditional symbols as opposed to the modern list, as really who can get excited about white goods? Now I’m not saying white good aren’t useful, they are, but it’s not quite the same.

As with most traditions it has to have started somewhere? But where….to avoid giving you a full blown history, I’ll summarise. According to my extensive research this tradition dates back to Europe in the middle ages where...

Happy New Year to you all, customers and friends of Looney Lizard. Your support through 2012 has been immense and we just couldn’t have done it without you. Looney is now looking ahead to 2013, which will hopefully be even better than 2012!!

I really have been slack with my blogging of late, yes I know bad girl! I have been so busy fulfilling orders, creating new designs and having fun with Halloween decorations and invitations that I have neglected my blog. The funny thing is, I have so many things going on that I have oodles I can say, just not had the time (and drive) to add it.

Wow what weather we are having here in little old Berkshire, it has really made it hard for me to focus on promoting my new Everlasting anniversary card range, when i have itchy green fingers to work on our garden. As you can see i am already being distracted by writing this post lol.

I have so much to do, sorry i should say "we" being my husband and i, have so much to do in our garden. So much veg needs planting, soil turning and i have had him putting up a series of corner trellis on our pagoda, for the climbers to grow up and across it.

We have one small wine making grapevine, but we plan to add a second edible variety for the second front corner. We will also have our honey suckle and clematis growing up and...

What a winter we have had over in the southern half of the UK this year, there has barely had any frosts, which is quite bizarre. Thinking back over the years, I don’t remember any winters being quite as mild as this one and by the looks of it neither does this daffodil…this one is an early riser!...

This poor confused daffodil in my front garden was raising its head up above the soil at Christmas time, yes at Christmas!! Maybe it was hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa and not miss out on the action (lol)....

Although it's a couple of weeks since i finished decorating this years Christmas cake and luckily i managed to take a photo before the vultures (my husband) attacked it. I thought you guys might like to see this years effort, it's a reinvention of my previous penguin Christmas cake...
