Where is Hanna Tonek Bonnett's website?

Hello dear friends, you might wonder what ever happened to my website or if you are a new friend, there use to be a practically lovely fully working website when you typed in www.hannatonek.co.uk, but one day it just vanished. Well we are working on a new site and with a creative web designer for a husband (Luke) and a harsh critic behind his shoulder (me) having a lot of opinions the website is safely but slowly making it's way to the web. That is why this lovely blog has been born, It is for your benefit to know what news and happenings are going on with Hanna Tonek Bonnett Design.

Country Living Etc

If you are sitting at the hairdresser or having a cup of tea, see if you can spot a copy of the September issue of Living Etc or Country Living (uk). Inside the Living Etc (uk) magazine you should see the Ribbon Budvase I designed for the Ribbon Project. The Budvase is available to basket today. The ribbon supplied comes in rich turquoise, dark brown, pink and vibrant red.



Also, the September issue of Country Living (uk) has got the Teatime cup with vintage rose print in it. The Teatime cup from the Time for Tea range is also available to basket but on order. The cup comes in plain white, blush pink, soft blue, moss green and mellow yellow. It is also avaliable with a lush dripping of white gold on the rim. You can also see these displayed and for sale at Designer Guild in Kings Road, London.

This lovely shop Bohaget / Fabrik 7 in Västervik on Bredgatan 20 that stocks my flocked Saga vases and a wide range of my Cupcake cards. If you are in the area it's worth your while to visit.

Clio - New York City

Clio in New York City is selling my flocked Saga vases in their shop now. So if you are in New York please pay them a visit, their shop is known for being very stylish and lovely. You can find them on 92 Thompson Street (between Prince and Spring) New York City or online at www.clio-home.com

Lucky Magazine - New York

Today was the day when New York based Lucky Magazine came to do a designer profile photo shoot with me in my uk based studio. An impressive 5 member crew came and dolled me up, or tried. It was a rather interesting experience though a little scary as I move so well in front of the camera. The lovely and really sweet senior editor Emily Hsieh from Lucky who I also meet in New York when Luke and I went in May, came over from America for the shoot. I will let you know when the issue will be out, so you can have a little smile on my behalf when you inspect the images.

Urban Outfitters has a fun and funky choice of designs. These are 3 products I particularly like right now. If I lived in the us I would shop their furniture's a lot. So maby good that I don't. urbanoutfitters.com

Inspiration

Finnish designer Ivana Helsinki must make the most beautiful clothes around, a fashion sense of neat and conservative but still very fun. A necessary necessity.
