The Outsider Tart


Posted by Dee under company spotlight

As I mentioned on my list of favourite things for May, I am addicted to foursquare. Whenever you “check in” you can see what other people have been up to in the same area… I sort of what’s hot in the area list, and see their useful tips in the area. Some times this is something simple the the time of the last train at the tube station, or where the best seats are in a cafe, other times it is informing you of a hidden gem!

The Outsider Tart is one of these hidden gems, selling homemade American baked goods, cupcakes, brownies, and of course Woopie Pies! As well as a selection of American produce, Graham Crackers, Maple Syrup and decent barbeque sauces (which I am thinking will be perfect when the weather heats up).

Selection of Cakes from the Outsider Tart

The counter was an aladdins cave of cakes and cookies, finding it impossible to pick one, I opted for a selection of four treats,nutless brownies, marshmallow rice crispy treats (with Lucky Charms), s’mores, and an Oatmeal Woopie Pie (They have sold out of the Chocolate ones).

Etsy Europe


Posted by Dee under company spotlight

I was over the moon this weekend to read that etsy are planning on opening a new Lab in Berlin – hopefully making etsy accessible in Europe. I love etsy – I am purely a buyer on there, I do not think I am talented to sell any of my creations!

However, my biggest complaint about etsy is the trying to find local sellers. Don’t get me wrong, I have now objection buying handmade products from overseas, I would just prefer to buy handmade items from people in the U.K.

To mark the opening, etsy are devoting this weeks voter to European sellers – go vote!
