Celebrating Autumn in all her Glory & 3 Years since I started this crazy venture. What a lot I have learnt!
A house wife that got divorced & desperately needed to plough some positive energy into something, digging deep- reinventing the wheel at 54! Pulling together everything I have done from growing up in a completely bonkers creative BoHo East Sussex household (hence the Bloomsbury & Charleston obsession), working at Conde Nast across Vogue, Tatler, House & Garden & GQ as Group Property Director. Moved up North 27 years ago now & started a PR company with clients in London.
When family came along, couldn't do that anymore, so retrained in Commercial Floral Design. So on & so forth until the crunch. Ive always been passionate about my home, I've renovated 5 properties- lucky enough to have had many types from Cottage to Georgian. Friends have always said 'ohh where did you find that ?" 'Why don't you go into interior design?' No I thought.. I want to start a shop and show people what I've found, that could bring a little bit of joy to either them or their friends & family. I've Gathered & Garner (ed) some exceptional, wonderful British made things that hopefully you will cherish as much as I do! I'm not gunna lie, it's been incredibly tough working 7 days a week, week in and week out. Its taken a physical toll this year when we moved to a bigger warehouse for www.gatheredandgarner.com, 2 slipped discs & femoral nerve damage but we've done it - with considerable help from my partner (couldn't do it without him) & the two fantastic completely over qualified ladies that work in the shop. Both mums, like I was, desperate to do something a bit creative, so we are helping each other. As for my artisans - without their fantastic work ... we would be nothing!! Back to SPHERES- it's a circle- help me to help them- if you buy from me I can buy more from them & round and round it goes. We are Gathering a Tribe. Our customers come from locally & far and wide. Often making a special effort to come to Kirkby Lonsdale to see the shop. It's eccentric (like us) small but from the continual lovely comments- they are not disappointed ! Thank you all!! Exx

Circles & Spheres something amazing about them. I counted literally 60 different spheres in my orangery & garden. I’ve been obsessed with spheres for a long time in my interiors , garden & floristry / art projects. spheres in the landscape, Vanessa Bell, Miro have all influenced my design choices even when of my sofas is covered in circles although that is pretty long in the tooth now! I bought this last November- from hadn’t a clue what I was going to do with it … but here we go .. Autumn window.

Cards …little pieces of art that shouldn’t be forgotten. It takes ages choosing cards for Gathered & Garner & everyone tells me I buy too many but they are an important part of the shop. Many people come, knowing they can find something unusual. https://www.gatheredandgarner.com/

A little introduction to Gathered & Garner - our little eccentric shop. We pack it with unique British Artisan led pieces sourced from around the UK. Quite a few of my suppliers are exclusive to us -no other shop has them. That doesn't mean to say that they are not well known because they are!! Many people who have come to the shop are now shopping online at www.gatheredandgarner.com and others who are not familiar with the shop are finding us online so thank you! We have a warehouse full of amazing pieces but the shop is important as I believe it is a wonderful thing to be able to touch and feel especially the pottery and vases. the 'Autumn Gorgeousness' collection is available under our 'Seasonal & Collections' tab as is dare I say it ...... Christmas. lets do Autumn first its the most beautiful of seasons and actually the most inspiring in many ways but then... I do Love ALL seasons and that shift between one & the next.

🪭 tastic visit to Virginia Woolf’s Monk House. My territory & just a stones throw from Charleston Berwick Church and also Lee Millers House. As I tell my customers in Cumbria- make a weekend of it. I know it’s odd to find Bloomsbury & Charleston in Cumbria but it’s my passion & a link to home.. East Sussex. Do all 4 they are 5 miles apart & then go to Alfriston ,Lewes & of course the beautiful Seven Sisters road from Eastbourne to Seaford. Go to Litlington to see the Chalk Horse & also Long Man of Wilmington. Go to for fabulous wines & dining. Go to star in Alfriston. Go to for amazing Sunday jazz and authentic pub atmosphere and make sure you try the b**r. Go to The Ram at Firle and go to the top of the South Downs a 2 minute drive ( walk) and blow the cobwebs away along the tops Perfect for an Autumn 🍂 weekend full of wonder. Roaring fires amazing walks, food & art.. just my cuppa!! Go to https://www.gatheredandgarner.com/ & find my curated ‘Bloomsbury & Charleston Collection .’ Message me for further directions or advice !!!

Recent trip to Virginia Woolf’s Monks House. Love going there so interesting & the guides are always so knowledgeable. I learn something new every time! Do come & ask me in the shop or here if you would like a run down of what to see & do if you fancy a pilgrimage to Sussex. I’ve lots of hints and tips as I’m from very near Charleston!

Having grown up & living a stones throw form Charleston, its only natural that Gathered & Garner is often influenced by the amazing artists, writers & designs that are synonymous with the Bloomsbury Group. We showcase wonderful pieces that makers are themselves inspired to create under our ' Bloomsbury & Charleston Inspired' Collections.

I've been to Charleston many times but honestly, every time feels different. New details noticed, different inspiration both inside and outside the house. Vanessa Bell's hat, different brush strokes on backgrounds, my obsession for spheres and of course .. the magical gardens. What inspired you?
