Wow what a busy weekend that was.

First we went to a lovely customers house to paint up this sideboard in this lovely charcoal gray we had to do this in 2 stages due to the heat and humidity. Sometimes even paint tells us to give it time.

We then picked up furniture from another customer on Saturday that is this weeks jobs.

Oh then i decided my sewing room was giving world war vibes so that got a sort out.

Then today we went back to the sideboard to give the final stage. And the usual Sunday jobs.

How was your weekend?

Oh my days it’s a hot one ain’t it.

Is your peg bag looking a little tired?

Look at our beautiful peg bag in the cottage meadows collection.
These are fully lined with coordinating Daisy fabric inside giving durability meaning you can pop in the washing machine if needed. Finished off with buttons, lace and a mint green hanger.

What do you think?

There are only 4 available.

Why have I started creating collections? 🌿

A little while ago I asked you lovely lot which fabrics you preferred, and one thing kept coming up… you loved the idea of everything coordinating.

The more I thought about it, the more I realised I did too.

So I decided to create limited-edition collections, each with a carefully chosen fabric, a small number of handmade pieces, and all of your favourite products… plus a few new additions.

And that’s how Cottage Meadow was born.

Soft sage greens, delicate wildflowers and that fresh countryside feeling inspired this collection – perfectly captured in these reusable bowl covers.

✨ Just 1 set remains – £5.

Once it’s gone, this fabric won’t be returning, making Cottage Meadow a true one-off collection.

Handmade in small batches • Limited collection • When it’s gone, it’s gone.

Welcome cottage meadow.

I’m super proud of this collection and I will tell you more of the whys and show you more close ups of the products but for now let’s enjoy this beautiful collection.

Let’s talk Unpaper towels.

A lot of people don’t really know about these.
You would use these instead of paper towels aka kitchen roll but why?
Did you know if a household switched to these we could save half a million trees a year that to me is just wow.

Also in the long run you save pennies from not buying disposable all the time.

This is just a few points from the benefits of Unpaper towels.

This is also a sneak peek into the cottage meadow collection coming soon.

Today I have been out and about collecting goodies. I do love collecting and then looking through it all at home.

Along today’s journey I met this beautiful little kitten (the other one wasn’t interested in me 😢) but this one fell asleep right beside me.
Unfortunately Princey boy said no to stealing him.
