cornish tees

A Cornish Tea is a lovely scone with jam and clotted cream served with a fresh pot of char. It really is one of the best things in the world - although at a million calories give or take - it's really not an everyday treat.

Of course, these are entirely different tees, and just as delicious! The hand stenciled design of Scrubber Johnnies encaptures a skater/surfer vibe with a not so subtle nod to 80's music and other cultural phenoms. Carl Marx, The Clash and Morrisey and Oscar Wilde fill out the repetiore. I bought one of their Mawgan Porth t-shirts, mostly to be touristy, but it's so much more than an "I Love Newquay" t-shirt.

I guess I must mention that these t-shirts are the work of my husbands cousin and wife, but I don't think that I ever met them and I loved the t-shirts before I even knew - so that doesn't count as nepotism, does it?

T-shirts are £12.00 (about $24 these days) through the Scrubber Johnnies ebay store. UK and international shipping available.

sam trout rocks

Sam Trout rocks and not just because there is a chic in the photo doing that...erm...rocker hand thing! He rocks because of his awesome design work AND he agreed to put a couple of his pieces in the WHAT store. Yes, that is shameless self promotion - but, I mean, what isn't?

fun times

It's time for a couple of cool things for the wee folks. I love Pooki & Co, so was delighted when I saw their bag collection. They also have a little pouch just perfect for a makeup bag or pencil case. The t-shirts are by San Francisco designers, Bunny & Bee - their graphics are bold and fun. My absolute favorite is the robot t-shirt, but I also love that their girls t-shirts are cute but steer away from being prissy. If I had a girl, she would wear the girl-bot tee!
