This illustration started off with one little leaf. Totally inspired with the purple persian shield leaf (bit of a tongue twister!😂) and the gorgeous colours. Another plant that I’d love to have but not being very green fingered I would probably over-water/underwater, then feel really sad if I couldn’t keep it alive 🍃

Chrysanthemum and Ginkgo are combined together in this florally blue and pink pattern. Interesting fact: Chrysanthemums are thought to symbolise optimism and joy, whilst the Ginkgo is said to represent love and longevity 💙🌸

Hello, thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous post. Hopefully the clutches should be with me soon!! (there are 3 different designs - soooo exciting!!). I really can’t wait for you to see them! 😍 •

Anyway, the dishes above (marked 1-6) have now been reduced from £19 to a Merry £15 (plus postage). They have all been taken off the website now, and I shall be posting these on MONDAY! Please let me know by commenting or send me a DM with the number. Thank you so much and happy weekend xx💜**EDIT - 2, 3, 4 and 6 Now Sold**

EXCITING NEWS! 🌟 •

Look! So, this isn’t what you think it is!! This isn’t one of my standard clutches. Nope! They are going to be replaced by these!!! (But not all of my designs I must stress). This is something I’ve been trying to get off the ground for MONTHS now, and it’s been a dream of mine that I can’t quite believe is finally becoming a reality. It’s taken a LOT of hard work and frustrating moments. I’ve also needed patience (which to be fair is never easy when you want to see the end results NOW). 😂This is just a sneak peek for now as I’m still waiting for my actual stock to arrive. These are high quality saffiano style clutches and I can’t wait for you to see them!!! 😍 •

I can’t wait to launch them (but it may be a couple more weeks yet). Gah!! And this isn’t my only exciting news! I have also been selected for ‘Spotted’ at @topdrawerlondon in January which will be my debut exhibition at a trade show!! I’m very nervous / scared / excited I don’t mind saying. Everything I’ve been working so hard towards during the last few years for my little business is coming together slowly. Still lots of big steps to take, but we just need to believe right? ❤️

The most softest touch, luxury velvet cushion. And a fabulous 48x48cm! I literally just want to stroke it all day...😂 •

Hello and happy Monday! 🧡 I love receiving pics like this. How fab does it look #beforeandafter (but I may be slightly biased 😁). 🍁🧡❤️

*SOLD*
This fabulous aqua and turquoise dish has come out beautifully! The fabulous markings looks like a gorgeous agate. And a stunning colour combo too. I just loooove these colours together. Have a super Friday!! 💙

Hello, well this rather very heavy tower of marblyness will be available on Friday morning. Keep your eyes peeled 👀 I’m afraid there won’t be any cute puppies supplied with these though...💜

Sometimes when we are having a bluergh day (and we all have them - we’re only human!!), the little things, or big things can make someone else’s day 💜 This made mine, it was totally out of the blue, and I was so lost for words. The most wonderfully written blog about my work from a very talented lady @nicola.jane.design 🌸

Please take a minute or two to have a look at her work, and if you read her blog (not just about me haha - but in general) she really is a fabulous support to others and always so positive too 💜 Not to mention she also paints beautiful watercolour florals 🌸

This still has to be my most favourite pic, and most favourite use of the larger trinket dish!! 💜

Happy weekend! Yay to the weekend! 🎉 Bit of a wet one here in the South West, but we won’t let that dampen our moooood ☔️ Look, mama and baby lampshades aww. These cuties along with my Maple Leaf lampshade (oh and a baby bunny one!! Yup, it’s a cutie) have now been hand delivered to my wonderful stockist Helen @theupcycledhomeco. So, if you’re local and stuck for ideas on what to do today -go there! Situated in the beautiful grounds of Mount Edgecumbe, there’s a lovely cafe which (back in the day) used to be old stables, it’s definitely worth a visit!! Anyway, have a fabulous weekend Insta friends 😊💛

How absolutely beautiful is this pic?! I can’t take credit, it goes to someone called Jack B. 🙌 Nature is so gorgeous and dramatic, and a great source of inspiration for a lot of my illustrations. I mean, just look at this colour palette!!! 😍💜
