Meow 68 / Lisa Jones



LisaJones Studio is run by Lisa and her partner Edward. They started by screen printing a range of gorgeous illustrated stationery (I discovered their work when I purchased a lovely greeting card with a Collie dog) and have since branched out into ceramics, clocks, tea towels and even picture books! All available from her shop here. I absolutely love her work, so I was excited to find a lot of wonderful cat-themed items to feature here. Lisa used to have an adorable cat named Pocket, who as she says is now 'out of town and living a different kind of life'. (Much like my own cat Elvis, who left one day and went to Hollywood).
