News.

We've got lots of news.

First up - Iona, the face behind all that is Wolf Bones, is scooting off to travel the world next year. So Wolf Bones will be taking a little break in 2012. 

BUT we will be in full swing until then.

Our Eco-Boutique will be open every Friday, Saturday & Sunday until Christmas Eve, so you still have plenty of opportunities to pop up and get some eco-friendly, unique & independently made Xmas pressies!

And if you're too far away to come see us, our online Eco-Shop will still be up, running a full of quirky homewares, stationery, accessories, jewellery & lots more too. We ship worldwide y'know.



Iona's first stop is Peru, where she'll be climbing to Machu Picchu in aid of Action For Children. We're aiming to raise £4000 to help children and families across the UK. So we're busy thinking up exciting events & projects to help us hit our target, we'll keep you updated!

To help Iona on her way, we will be donating 15% of all our sales. This means you can treat yourself AND do a good deed. Yay! 

So, if you buy this lovely gentleman brooch for £10...


...you'll be donating a whole £1.50 to Action For Children.

And if you need to buy some special Xmas cards for £2.50 each...


...40p will be going to help children in need around the UK.

Aaaand if you treat yourself to this cute nautical necklace for £23...


...a whopping £3.45 will go straight to charity.

Everyone is a winner!



And if you have a spare couple of pennies laying about, we would be super grateful if you sponsored Iona.

Thank you.

Sneaky Peek Numero Dos.

We're still working on getting our Eco-Boutique ready for its launch on Friday & thought we'd give you another wee Tom peep...

Our newly painted & attached crate shelf

A lovely selection of Betty Swollocks vintage clothes

Our wee hatch with our closed curtain up.

6 days & counting!




Mural, mural, on the wall...

...is our Eco-Boutique the prettiest of them all?

Well, we're getting there anyway.

Only 6 days till we open!

We finally managed to finish our Wolf Bones mural. It became apparent extremely quickly that our version of the amazingly talented Harriet Gray's original design was not going to be anywhere near as good. However, we persevered and the outcome isn't too bad...

Of course you do.

Launch Party!

To celebrate the opening of our Eco-Boutique we're having a Launch Party on 9th September...


...and you're all invited!

Come celebrate with us with lots of tasty Kopparberg and scrumptious nibbles, have the first peek at our Eco-Boutique, first chance to get your hands on some our amazing independent eco-friendly products and take part in lots of interactive community art happening throughout the evening.

AND if that wasn't enough, Becca Thomas from Pidgin Perfect will have her MArch Thesis exhibition on display for you to have a gander at too!

We're looking forward to seeing you all.


With thanks to Kopparberg (we love you).

On the look-out

We're on the search for some lovely new eco-friendly work to stock both in our online shop & our Eco-Boutique, which opens in September.

We're on a mission to find eco-friendly handmade crafts & artwork created by talented designer/maker/artists. I don't know about you, but it seems to be the case that when we've searched for eco-friendly things in the past it tends to be hippy-tastic, mumsy, bleugh. Well, we want to put a stop to that. We want to show that eco-friendly wares can offer unique design, immense talent & quirkiness.



So if you use recycled, reclaimed, fair-trade, organic, vegan, upcycled, biodegradable or reused materials when making your pieces then we want to hear from you!

Illustrators! We'd really like to stock more original artwork, start using recycled paper/card!

If you're interested send us an e-mail with a link/pictures of your work to:


You can have a look at our online shop here.

So, DIY isn't as easy as we thought huh.

But we got there in the end!

WE HAVE SHELVES.


(Thanks to Mr, Mrs & Master Joyce for the driftwood :))

We've also hung up some artwork...


So we're getting there.

We're sorting out the details for our wee launch party just now, more info coming soon...

(Psst, keep the 9th of September free)

The last couple of days we have been sanding & painting.
We popped ourselves along to the charity shop & scored this dresser...


We used a whole bunch of elbow grease to sand it down & paint it & here's how it turned out...



We really like it & it'll be perfect for displaying lots of lovely handmade goodies in our Eco-Boutique!

Big News!

The time has come to spill the beans...

We now have a shop/workshop space!!

We are so so so excited.

Community is a massive part of who we are so moving into a space that has such a strong community vibe is totally perfect for us. Be sure to check out Ironbbratz and all the amazingly talented people that have a space there too.
