Loving the colour of this vintage bike. What a great name and neat font. Topped with a recycled basket.
Little Bike Look Out - what's that? Woody loves vintage little bikes, in fact she rides a cream Raleigh Compact from 1986. So when she spots a little bike, she takes a photo.
Expect to see lots of snap shots of these miniaturized steel wonders.
Your little bike? So lucky! Feel free to tweet this post.... SEE MORE

Back to the bronze-age in Brighton. Check out those original bike lights and dazzling reflectors. Its A-Board companion also happens to belong to Utility, one of Woody's favourite Brighton stores.

Our new studio space is in the Brighton Open Market. We love being here. There's a really mixture of market stalls selling everyday essentials alongside creative businesses. There's nothing better than having a natter about life while picking up veg for your dinner. Everything from how your day is going to philosophy and art are covered in these little chats with our local green grocers. This afternoon Rodney remarked on this Romanesque cauliflower -... SEE MORE

The extended English summer sure helps some Calfornia daydreaming. The other week, Woody took a quick snap shot of cloud waves in the sky. Those plants reaching up to the sun have also been reminding us of early David Hockney drawings from his time spent in LA.
As the autumnal days draw in for those of us in England so do new Woody products. Oh yeah.

A Raleigh 'Twenty' vintage bicycle, due to it's 20inch wheels. It was first introduced in 1968 and the design was still in production until the early 80s. A great example showing its original lamp and carrying case. Spotted in Brighton.

Our new paper tapes are beautiful and practical - so strong you can pack parcels with them. The tape is made of paper so you can recycle it and colour it in. Woody recommends using coloured pencils - it looks great on brown paper. Well designed and better for the environment, plus you get 55 metres to play with.

Puch alert in Soho. How gorgeous is this little compact bike? Notice how high the seat looks - level with the handlebars because the bike is so dinky. We reckon that most elements are all original: front lamp, pedals, mud guards. Perfect for nipping around the West End.
