Oh Madewell…we’re going to come to blows soon. I’m batting ‘oh-for-five’ at the moment with you. Despite dedicating a significant portion of my income to you lately I ke...

I love a brand with personality (especially if it doesn’t take itself too seriously-hello have you seen the hedgehog wearing a bowler hat and a monocle on this site!?)…It could be in the ...

In search of a holiday this spring/summer? Yep, me too and since Mallorca isn’t for us this year please just let me live vicariously through you and book the Cap Rocat in Mallorca. For the unin...
Taking over from Rob Ryan in the ‘artist’s studio’ of the Pick Me Up fair was Anthony Burrill. I was tempted to buy a newspaper or postcard set as it looks incredible as wallpaper! ...
After the giant cardboard creations yesterday, my favourite work at the Pick Me Up fair (the graphic arts festival in London) was from Paul Blow. I’d have loved to take the riot police man home...
Yesterday, there was paper, today cardboard…a touchy touchy craft extravaganza! A few weekends ago, David and I made a visit to the Pick Me Up, the graphic arts fair at Somerset House in London...
Paper sculpting is back…Love these photographs from French artist Jérôme Corgier of l’Atelier Pariri. The ones with shallow depth of field are my favorites and would look great as an a2 sized p...
It might be the spring solstice, the impending daylight savings time change…or just the fact that I’ve had a bit of vitamin d the past few days, but I AM READY for spring. Or more likely ...
Ever since Ilse Crawford worked her magic on the Grand Hotel Stockholm a few years ago, I’ve had a windsor chair (or two or three) on my wishlist. But not just any old frumpy chair, but one wit...
What ‘type’ of walls do you have…painted, wallpapered or TYPED? This fabulous texture just goes to show that even a sportstore* can be the source of drool and inspiration. Okay, yes...

I’m here I’m here! Wow, that was a long unexpected hiatus. Nothing exciting or scandalous to report, just took some much needed time away from the computer. I was still working over the h...
For the first time in the nearly seven years since I first landed in the UK, we’ve had some actual snowfall this past Saturday!! It was absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was in a movie, goi...
I’m getting worried about my growing dependancy on Marks & Spencer for good design, packaging and collaborations with illustrators. First there were the piles of Christmas tins that I just ...
Sorry for the absence lately…I’ve been feeling under the weather (as is everybody around us at the moment!). Not a whole lot has been making me cheery other than this excellent news stor...
What a fabulous reminder of everything I want in my wardrobe- but fail to have. Oh Christmas sales you will be mine! You can find these outfits and loads of others at comptoir des cotonniers. Be sure...
