Teacups & Spectacles - Illustration and Design

Teacups & Spectacles - Illustration and Design Teacups & Spectacles is an illustration, design, and craft blog following Karen Taylor as she navigates the world of stationery and knitting.

Weclome to Teacups & Spectacles. I'm a doodler and a knitter, and maker of delightful things. My naive and adorable doodles have a mid-century flare. They feature simple pleasures: enjoying a cup of tea, taking a bike ride, enjoying a treat, or a bunch of fresh cut flowers. They’re body-positive, delightful, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. Stay tuned to see where you can purchase greetings cards. Thanks for stopping in!

Things look a little different now… 💕😂 I swear there are at least two hotwheels, at least a handful of rocks and a dash of sand in my purse at all times. 😅

Loving this wee trinket dish. 🧡 I’ve always liked doing ceramics, so air dry clay was an accessible way to do it at home. I might try to Mod Podge the next one for a more “glazed” finish.

Making things with my hands feels more important lately, especially with how automated everything feels like it’s getting.

New brooches from our favorite "down under" company! aka (home - Melbourne, Aus.)

Why we love Erstwilder brooches:
- fantastic graphic appeal
- beautifully made - to last
- designs created by artists (not AI)
- always a great mix of offerings - to appeal to everyone

Our customers regularly come back to tell us how many people stop them to admire their brooch! 😀

Our province has decided to stay on daylight savings time, so this will be our last clock change. 🌸Looking forward to brighter evenings, more spring flowers, and fewer preschool germs!

I can think of some stronger words to describe how I’ve been feeling lately… 😅
