After a much-needed little break in the sunshine, we’re back — rested, sun-kissed (okay, maybe slightly sunburnt), and bursting with inspiration from our holiday in beautiful Cyprus!

There’s something so magical about stepping away from the everyday and soaking in a new landscape. From the peaceful coastline to the lively villages full of character, Cyprus gave us a fresh dose of creativity and charm — and, as always, our sketchbooks came with us!

What really stole our hearts? The animals. From the lazy cats lounging in the shade of whitewashed walls to the curious donkeys peeking over stone fences, and the colourful birds flitting between olive trees — we were absolutely enchanted. Each one seemed to have its own personality (and a bit of cheekiness too!), and we couldn’t help but imagine them as part of our next range.

So, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve got a brand new collection of animal-inspired homewares and greeting cards in the works — all sparked by the lovely creatures we met on our travels. Think Mediterranean colours, playful charm, and a sprinkling of that Homemade Hollydays humour you know and love.

We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on — whether it’s a cheeky Cypriot cat coaster, a donkey print that’ll make you smile, or some charming cards that bring a touch of island life to your next thoughtful message.

Keep your eyes peeled — new arrivals will be landing very soon!
