I like shiny things.......

Have you heard about the Gentoo Penguin practice of pebbling?

A couple of weeks ago I put out a call on Instagram to see if anyone fancied designing some new cards for us. The response was incredible and it meant I had to write a brief describing what we do, which I've always struggled to explain. Now, after 14 years, I think I just might have cracked it. 

The Gentoo Penguins find the best-looking shiny pebbles and present them to their mates as tokens of love, belonging, and understanding - well that might be going a bit far but they may be saying “this shiny pebble made me think of you”. So rather than you having to search the sea floor like the poor penguins, we bring the Shiny Pebbles to you.

So here's an ever-evolving collection of shiny pebbles that might just do for saying I'm thinking of you.

P.S. The image at the top is from Edinburgh Zoo where they had a gorgeous project inviting local primary school children to paint pebbles for their Gentoo penguin colony to make them extra attractive.
