Happy Birthday to Hannah Z!

Who'd of thought it, my little website is turning 6 tomorrow! And we can't have a birthday without a bit of a celebration, can we?

So from now until midnight on Sunday you can get a lovely 20% off everything on Hannah Zakari with the code 'iheartcake' - yay!

Please note: this discount is available on our website only, there's other fun stuff happening in the Shoppe such as cake and some cross stitching!

And if you want your order to be dispatched today, please order by 2pm :)

Oh, later this month we'll be launching our super duper fancy new website, so keep your Twitter/Facebook sensors out for all the latest news and details of a lovely big give-away we'll be having.

Say it with Cross-Stitch!

This Saturday, 16th October, cross stitcher extraordinaire and the lady at the helm of Miso Funky, Claire Brown will be at the Hannah Zakari Shoppe cross stitching away and making her sweet little cross stitch badges to your order.



Join her between 12 and 5 pm at the HZ Shoppe on Candlemaker Row in Edinburgh and you too can say it in Cross Stitch!

With every season turn turn turn

It's feeling very autumn all of a sudden isn't it?  It's time to get those thick jumpers and coats out of their hiding places and get ready for, trick or treating, bonfires and the party season.

I don't know about you but being the human equivalent to a magpie, I find pretty treasures teamed with the latest trends makes me feel all warm on a cold night. 

Here are a few things we're excited about at the moment:-

I heart tea brooch.

If you're braving the cold and need a nice hot cup of tea in a hurry you won't even need a remove your scarf. Just point to this handy little brooch and one will be delivered to you, hopefully. 

Keep Calm and Carry on Shopping tote.

Lets face it, this time of year is silly shopping season.  If things get too stressful for you pile some nice cream-cakes into this lovely tote, move quickly towards home and eat.  Whilst keeping calm of course.

Leather Leaf Brooch.

One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is crunch through lovely golden leaves in my wellies.  When the office is getting you down pin this to your coat and be transported outside.

Miss Beehaving Necklace

Bugs are still very hot this AW10 season.  

This necklace is totally in style.  Bees are pretty awesome.

Mount Royal No2 Book Necklace

As this necklace is made from a much loved leather jacket you'd be doing your bit for recycling.  Also you can remind yourself how nice it is to get lost in a good book, and therefore it's good for your brain too.

Shelter from the rain print.

Winter notepad.

Finally if the rainy weather gets too much; hurry indoors to stare at beautiful prints and write some Halloween party invitations. 

Monday Sneak Peek!

Good afternoon folks!

It's all go here at Hannah Zakari these days, we're beavering away on the brand new website design (which is looking ace btw) and getting ready to add a multitude of new designers online too.

One of those designers is Naoshi, who I just can't bear to keep from you any longer. To say I love her work would be to understate my feelings, I really can't get enough of them!

The originals of her bright, surreal images are coloured in sand which creates a really unusual looking texture to these prints. We have a mixture of her prints and cards for Hannah Zakari which will be available to buy online from tomorrow.

First up - A print preview...

PS The names are almost as good as the images!


Shelter From The Rain - When is it going to stop raining?


Fitting - Hey, you won't be able to wear it!


Dream glasses　-May tomorrow be another good day!


The bad habit of a guy who lives in Post －Everyone's life goes on with each other.

And some adorable cards:









Watch this You Tube video to see how Naoshi creates her work - it's ace!
