I don’t think I’ll take seeing people for granted again. How nice it is to socialise. This summer is going to be all about the garden gatherings and we are loving this chunky China range for all your food serving needs. Stick your roasties in them, your crisps, biscuits. Whatever your bringing out pop it in a chunky China dish. Effortlessly gorgeous 👌🏻

Little shop. Here’s a snap of some of your weekend favourites.
I love the mix of textures in this photo and love to mix up the textures in each room of my house using marble, concrete, velvet, wool, natural woods, ceramics and house plants. Personally I think the textures in a room is as important as the colour ways you choose. They really do add subtle focal points. 👌🏻

03/04/2021

I think Easter is my favourite holiday of the year. There’s less expectation than Christmas, and just more chilled where good food, family and friends are at the centre of it all.
This year seems more poignant than ever as it’s the first proper weekend we can see our loved ones to sit around the table since Christmas and it feels so blooming good! I didn’t realise how much I missed it until we had friends round yesterday. We chatted so much we didn’t realise the time and they ended up staying for impromptu dinner whilst we all huddled round the chiminea wrapped up in coats. It was bliss.
I hope you all had a good start to the long weekend. 🌿

P.s these mugs are available online x

01/04/2021

Counting down the days to welcome you back into the shop.

Who is ready for a bit of real life shopping?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

24/03/2021

I’ve been a little quite on here recently. There seems to be so much going on behind the scenes and the juggle of doing it all is somewhat a struggle.

Have you tried our hot chocolate and chocolate bars. They are super delicious and a perfect Easter treat!

In other news, I’ve just got off the phone to my grandparents and realised I can see them in real life next week and I’m so excited I could burst! 🧡

Why do I loose my eyes when I smile 😆?!

I was raised by strong women, it’s all I know. To hustle, work hard, be kind and stay humble. To carry on raising strong women and empowering them to believe they can accomplish anything they put their minds to.

Someone once said to me you can’t have it all, somethings got to give. You can’t have the baby, the house the business, the time for yourself, and a social life of your own. Well that just added fuel to the fire and stuck with bbq me.🖕🏼 yes I can. I just have to work blooming hard to show my daughter it’s possible and be the best role model she can have.

Photo snap from from her IWD portraits of some real life Wonder Woman of Leicestershire - if you’ve not checked her out yet, her photos are beautiful and blows my mind how amazing she is at taking photos virtually through your phone or computer! 🤯 shes magic!

Oh lovely lady. 🍑

This is skill. To develop this kind of work takes time, dedication, hours of learning & practice. It isn’t just an end product it’s a journey. a development taking patience, pride and passion in the work. This is handmade. Completely unique with its own quirks. Isn’t she glorious!

This lovely lady is sold now but we have another winging it’s way over to the shop soon.
I couldn’t help taking a photo of her when I recommend would help create the perfect dried flower bunch for this bottom. 🤸🏼‍♂️
I needed her on my feed!

We’re partnered with a charity called , meaning 10% of each gift box goes to this charity helping give parents essentials like nappies wipes and toys to babies that families can’t afford. This was not just for Christmas this charity pair will be for always ✨

Bath time essentials ✨

Our shop is full of natural self care products right now and they are all epic! 🙌🏻

07/02/2021

Self care Sunday 💆🏼‍♀️ because we need to fill up our cups to take on the week ahead 👌🏻

We are all taking on much more than we would usually bare right now and for me personally this lockdowns the toughest one yet (I know I’m not the only one feeling this way)

So it’s more Important than ever we carve out a little time to look after ourselves. It may be a bath, a run some yoga, a podcast or reading a book. Whatever it is that makes you feel a little more grounded and relaxed. Take 20 mins out of your day to soak that feeling up.

This new range of natural beauty is the most perfect compliment to your
Bath time bliss. The bath oil and a face mask is a dreamy combination to make yourself feel fresh and new. 👌🏻
