And finally I'm in!!!

After months of hard work, mostly by my lovely OH, I finally have a fully working studio space, sadly already full to the rafters, but a great place to escape to.

New studio....

After months of hard work, it is nearing completion and soon I will have a lovely atelier to store my bountiful stock!

Early start...

Brocante season is well and truly underway, Sundays now officially begin at 6am!

Back to reality....

So, 3 wonderful weeks in India are over, and we are back in France. Reinvigorated for a New Year, and a new set of ideas, starting with these street patterns from Tamil Nadu. Painted by hand, before dawn each day, so that good luck passes into each household, they have an addictive and beautiful mesmerising quality that I could not resist. Somehow I will find a way to replicate them for our gîte guests this coming summer!

Christmas is getting closer!!

The decorations are hung, and the countdown has started...

Ready for Christmas markets!

I have spent a busy weekend getting ready for the Christmas markets next weekend at Aubeterre and Longeveau. Pin cushion teacups in all shapes and sizes, a great present idea! See you all there xxx

Vive La France!

We went out yesterday for a beautiful French meal, and reminded ourselves why we are so lucky to live in France. Xx
