Hi welcome to Humble Cottage. A venture from long term partners Keri Valentine and Pete Shields. After years of living in cities and travelling to strange and wonderful places the call of the sea and a quieter life drew us back to Cornwall.
A simpler life called.
Part of this simpler life includes "Humble Cottage" a business based on recycling, upcycling,finding lost things, things thrown back to us from the sea that surrounds us. Humble Cottage creates images and products that make you smile and tell you a story.
Cornwall feels like it lives in our psyche's, there is something eternal and inspiring that I hope our art/craft reflects. Inspired by spring growth, summer shine, autumn rustles, winter decay and the stories of living by the sea
The tile collection is inspired by childhood books, cheeky ladies, and creatures of the woods, sea and air and these ideas are extended into our card and print range.
We have created a wooden postcard range, based on heartfelt and kitsch quotes that make you smile and reinforce positive but cheeky messages to keep you on a positive path.
Prints and photo's are spontaneous creations inspired by the mood and the moment ---- there are creatures and plants, torn maps and things from the back of drawers.
I hope you like them - Keri & Pete - Humble Cottage x
