Beneath the branches of an old whispering oak tree
A Collective of Woodland Illustrators & Makers
with ink, paper and paws - they gather together to make the most wonderful products
trade shop
A paper studio set within an old woodland park in Norfolk - creating whimsical illustrated paper goods inspired by the woodland world of Thimble Oak Hollow.
Designed especially for independent gift shops, our collections combine original illustrations with distinctive paper formats to create pieces that stand out on the shelf.
Each design begins as a hand-drawn illustration before being carefully produced in our Norfolk studio.
All products are made in-house. Nothing is outsourced.
Unique designs and original die-cut designs • Made in Norfolk, England • Low minimum orders • 3-5 day dispatch
The Woodlands Favourite
This design was created by Bartholomew Blackthorn, a careful badger craftsman of Black Horse Lane, who insisted on adding the gold stars himself. Unfortunately his paws were rather full of paint that day, and several tea cups belonging to Lady Agatha were left sparkling far more than intended. The design itself was inspired by Barnaby Moonfeather, the tawny owl who watches the Hollow from the branches of the old oak — and despite the teacup incident, the paper turned out beautifully.
