Gola

Loving Chris's new Gola trainers.

Christmas Comes Early

It seems pretty strange at this time of year, but we had the pleasure a a visit from our Christmas Jumpers supplier, Cheesy Christmas Jumpers to discuss the range for 2013. Very exciting times, they had some amazing samples to show us and we are working on a very cool, exclusive, collaboration design which will be revealed later in the year. We were also treated to these fabulous home-made reindeer cakes.

Back In Camberwell

I had a lovely time in London last weekend. Its been a while since I have been back to Camberwell, where I lived for 5 years. I even got to stay in my old room which did feel a little strange but nice and comforting at the same time. My beautiful flatmate Shona had perked the place up with various additional vintage finds, it really is an amazing place.

Big Bows

I love big bows, whether they are on walls, in hair, on dresses or tying up pretty presents. In my opinion, the bigger the better! When dad slipped this old family picture in with my post of my grandfather and his sisters, I squealed in delight at their most amazing accessories.

My lovely new bicycle

Last week after what seemed like ages, my beautiful new bicycle finally arrived! It is a vintage style Hollander bike in a gorgeous buttermilk cream colour. I managed to take it out for a quick spin to the park and along the harbourside on Sunday in the sunshine. I can't wait for a summer of bike rides and picnics!

Renovating A Tired Old Chair

With some spare time this Saturday, I decided it was finally time to get around to sprucing up an old chair I salvaged from Mum and Dad's garden shed. I loved the barley twist legs and shape of the chair but the condition was pretty ropey! So off I went to B&Q and bought sandpaper, paint, paintbrushes, a hammer and some tacks. I was quite proud of the results and love the mismatched chairs we now have nestled under our table.

First job was to get rid of all the cobwebs and give it a sand all over.

I then lifted off the seat and gave the chair about 3 coats of Cool Grey paint. I found an old top I hadn't worn in ages and used this to cover the seat. 

Then, mission complete! It seemed to take forever to dry but I now have a lovely new grey, stripy chair.
