NEW IN: Monogram Initial Watches

Following our much loved Personalised Map Watch collection, we're delighted to introduce the new Monogram Initial Watches! High quality and with a genuine leather strap,  they are designed by and hand customised at Ellie Ellie HQ. Of course, you can add a personal touch with your chosen initial!

For a timeless vintage feel, the Scallop design matched with rose gold plating is a beautiful combination. Choose from a beautiful sky or pearl coloured strap, and don't forget you can also add an engraved message of your choice on the back of all of our watches to make it the ultimate personalised gift!

As a classic timepiece, the heritage-inspired design is a popular choice. With gold plating and either a traditional saddle tan or midnight coloured strap, it will make the perfect gift for any occasion. 

Which design and colour would you choose?

Our Monogram watches are exclusive to our Notonthehighstreet.com shop! Find the scallop here, and heritage here!

Crazy Customising!

Here is a little crazy customisation we’ve stumbled upon this week. We aren’t sure about these customised Lego shoes here at Ellie Ellie HQ, love or hate?

If these Lego shoes don’t quite take your fancy why not try and customise an old pair of shoes you were going to chuck out and give them a new lease of life.... go on!!

Here are a handful of ideas inspired by Ellie Ellie’s favourite things… Have a go using scrap comics, maps or sheet music with Papier Mache, or you could try it with your favourite wrapping paper or old stamps.

For a fun, personalised look you could use locations that are special to you, and we love the idea of personalised insoles for your wedding shoe, a great way to have your memories with you on the day...

Another favourite of ours at Ellie Ellie is these stamp pumps, we think this is a lovely way to reuse stamps and create an individual look. 

 

Not forgetting our love of old vintage comics, personalising your old pumps and heels with comic print is a fabulous idea, use your favourite comic book characters and stories to make your shoes tell a story.

For a step by step guide to mastering papier mache, the perfect way to customise your shoes, have a look at this tutorial  Getting started with papier mache

Crafty Coasters

We found a great crafty present idea on Apartmenttherapy.com to add a unique and quirky look to your table! Just take a couple of slices of birch from a craft or flower shop, and trace your design through some carbon paper onto the wood. Paint or colour in however you fancy, and you have the perfect personal coaster for guests at a party, or something lovely for the home to make for the coming of Mother’s Day!

To keep your decorations looking perfect for longer, simply paint over or spray with some varnish.

Not quite as crafty but you still want something personal and from the heart? Ellie Ellie has just launched their NEW Personalised Map Paperweight, which you can personalise with any town or city from around the world. Handmade in Ellie Ellie's Sussex based HQ, each one is totally unique for the individual. Gorgeously nostalgic and useful! What more could you want? 

 If however, you're one step ahead of the game and have already got Mother's Day on the brain, why not try one of these..

A gorgeous chunk of silver plated, memory hinting awesomeness! A timeless piece to be treasured. Personalisation is up to you, world is your oyster! How about the location of a fantastic family holiday, or where her children were born? Go for it, she'll love it. Check it out, here.
