London last week was rather damp and drab, so I have decided to show you Cath Kidston’s new Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Hope this brings some sunshine cheer. There are seven themes to their new collection – Safari, Painterly Rose, Tea time, Budgies, Field rose, Patchwork and spots. I have picked […]
During Blog Tour LA, we were lucky to visit Heath Ceramics, kindly organised by Veronika Miller of Modenus after a tweet request. I have always yearned to visit this special place. I have summarised below a brief history of the company, which I found most interesting. Edith Heath, the Danish founder of Heath Ceramics, was […]
The blogtour LA with Modenus has started and what an amazing start it was. I am in awe of Veronika Miller for organising such an amazing itinerary for us, considering she has just finished a blogtour in London. The highlight of day 1 was our visit to Kelly Wearstler’s office […]
To complete my report on the London Design Festival, I’d like to show you my picks from one of the main design venues, Designjunction. On close analysis of my photos taken at the show, I noticed two recurrent themes. The first is the trend for metal. Copper, Brass and Gold […]

After navigating the corridors of the Victoria and Albert museum to see their main festival attractions, I headed towards St James’ park in Westminster. I had pre-arranged […]

I recently came across Maria Hatling, the resident artist of the week at the Fritz Hansen store in London. She was there as part of the Makecreate project in which a negotiated space in store allows for an artist to exhibit their work, to gain further exposure. Maria is a Norwegian […]
A few months back, my lovely friend, Ursula, of the blog Room to Bloom e-mailed me about a talented designer called Alice Mary Lynch, who had created a collection of dolls to adorn the walls of famed fashion designer, Alice Temperly’s store in Bruton Street, London. I was instantly drawn to the […]
The last time I was at Cockpit Arts studio, I was there to interview Tamasyn Gambell. I remembered walking up the corridor in the East Wing of Cockpit Arts. Flanked on either side of the corridor were large closed studio doors. Above each door is the resident artist’s name plaque. […]
Tamasyn Gambell is a talented print textile designer. She first came to my attention when I noticed her beautifully upholstered Mid-century chairs, a collaboration with Forest London. I used to own a vintage Ercol day bed and was frustrated by the lack of fabric choice that would complement this classic […]
