Finally, I leave you with the only non-coloured piece in the shop. A monochrome ‘Forest Floor’ throw. A perfect Christmas gift I say!

Hope you have enjoyed this quick tour of talented Donna Wilson’s exhibition. I am a true fan and have several pieces of her work at home. The exhibition runs till Sunday 22nd 2013 in Leonard street, London. I highly recommend it.

Have a wonderful weekend x

    I’m a huge fan of Donna’s designs too – all of that rich wool is just so darn appealing! And when you pair it with vibrant colours and a quirky take on animals and nature it’s very hard to resist. x
