New card making for Furniture Magpie

I'm getting stuck in making cards to sell at Furniture Magpie in Barnstaple and loving it! Here they are mixing it up a little with floral retro fabric, and inspired by the lovely furniture..

 

Retro inspired children's cards..

Can you tell I've been in London for the weekend?

Please get in touch if you're interested in  a commission!x

And then we moved to Devon!

Tom and I are finally back from our travels down under and have moved to beautiful North Devon, Ilfracombe to be precise - and we just love it! Here are just a few of the views and walks that have been inspiring me..

A homemade wedding...

So my lovely Tom proposed and we decided to try and make as much as possible for our wedding day.  The following posts are going to be a little bit of a history of how I made everything from the favours to runners, invitations to customising the shoes!

Invitations seem like a good place to start.. So being nature lovers we thought using an oak motif would be a nice idea, and this seems to have carried through in a lot of elements! I started designing little inky oaky sprigs and reworked in photoshop.

                                           The finished design below!

My sister and I had a block of the design made and hand letterpressed the cards!                                                                       

   

After a lot of deliberation, we finished with some grey textured cotton ribbon and voila - the finished invitation!  

 

 

Orchid love at Kew

Hello folks it's been a while since I've been online, have been taking a break to make some changes in my life and it's time to get stuck back in! I thought I'd start off 2013 by sharing some images from the amazing colourful orchid displays at Kew! Go go go, you must if you have the chance- they are so wonderful!

Devon loveliness

Now I have rediscovered these from the summer and are just too lovely not to share! I took these at Tom Green's beautiful cottage in Ashprington, Devon. Do visit their reclaimed furniture shop in South Brent, Devon. www.green-homeware.blogspot.co.uk
