Many thanks for visiting the Sumptuosity website, we hope you enjoy your stay here and see lots of 'pretty' things you think would be good to give as little presents or keep just for you. Tue - 30 Aug 09 Sophie's latest Alice artwork.

Do enjoy viewing our products and do think of us when you're looking to buy something unique, hand-crafted here in the UK and reasonably priced (most of our items retail under £10).

So, what should you know about us, well we're a very friendly bunch and like to keep in touch; click the 'meet team Sumptuosity' link to read more about us individually.

We're very loyal and once our visitors have bought from the website we send them an email with a password code that discounts all future purchases from the website.

We like nature and this features in the art applied to our products - bees, butterflies, birds and lots of flowers; we also like history and literature too. We make all our products in our small studio in York where we listen to Radio 4 and drink lots of cups of tea.

We're very green; we use a lot of interesting recycled vintage fabrics. Conscientious too.

Ruth updates her blog just about every working day, so do feel free to visit it and get involved.

We've recently undergone a major website update and it now looks cleaner and is very easy to navigate. We've also updated our online catalogue and can now show many more products; we're constantly updating it so please do keep coming back.

Sophie's Alice Artwork
After her first Alice image (check it out on flickr), Sophie@Sumptuosity recreated the tea party as an embroidery.

I know I wrote that they would be ideal for cards if my photography was up to scratch, well it has also been suggested that we frame and sell the originals too; somthing else to consider.
