Book Club - The Fir Tree

Sanna Crush

Whilst hunting for inspiration for the interior on my caravan, I have been slowly falling in love with the enchanting designs of Illustrator Sanna Annukka. 

Her use of colour is wonderful and her folky graphic prints have caught the eye of Marimekko, who she now designs for. Originally from Finland, she now lives in Brighton and it just so happens that our new favourite book 'The Fir Tree' by Hans Christian Anderson is designed by her too!!! Check it out..

Best wedding ever....

A rare appearance of myself in this blog and in fact in any photo if I can avoid it!! But had to show off my crazy dress by Hanae Mori. (Check out all those colours!!!)
She was Japan's 1st and only woman to have presented her collections on the runways of Paris and New York back in the 1960's and I found this little gem in Hope & Harlequin, a wonderful vintage boutique that always seems to have something that I fall in love with!

Thanks Beth and Tim for the most amazing weekend and thanks Kiki (pictured) for being the best dance partner a girl could ask for!!

Ring a Ding

Made for a lovely friends big day, this is the prototype in bronze which is a metal I've not worked in before. Pretty labour intensive but turns out a lovely colour so think i'll be using much more in future.

Superhero Party Craft

It was little Finch's 3rd birthday today and we celebrated with a Batman Party!
I spent far too much time making Gotham City out of cardboard boxes but the mini superheros loved hiding inside and chasing 'The Riddler' round and round...

Spring Colours

Not forgetting the jewels!!

What with caravans, rhubarb and ebay, theres been little time for jewellery making, but here are some rings I've been working on for a commission using faceted black diamond beads, uncut diamonds & charms, layered to create an alternative to the traditional wedding band...

Ebay Away...

I'm a hoarder at heart and hate to say goodbye to anything precious that holds memories for me, but our little flat is bursting at the seams and I have had to sadly concede that its time to move on from all the beautiful wooden toys of the boys preschool years.

They have since discovered superheros & playmobil and it was with a heavy heart that I listed this  vintage hand painted beauty on ebay today.

All Mine!!

So, my growing caravan love couldn't be kept at bay for very long and last weekend I became the very proud owner of this little beauty.
One very careful owner since 1974, original fixtures and fittings all in perfect condition.
She is now living in a farmers field close by waiting for a little tlc and some new curtains!

The boys love her and Finch wants to leave home and live in her permanently!!
British summer, here we come...

House Envy

Loving the early 70's style of this place.
Lots of wicker, wood and greenery with some sheepskins thrown in for lux...

Rhubarb Gin & Tonic

One of my most precious childhood memories is of peering  into my grandad's pigeon coup, high up in the roof of his garage whilst my grandma was in the garden picking rhubarb. She was famous for her rhubarb crumble and the earthy, sharp, sweet smell of it boiling away always filled her kitchen.

It was only recently that I rediscovered the charms of this very british vegetable after a night of fine drinking in London's stunning art deco 'Bobbys Bar'. Their house special is a divine tasting rhubarb gin and tonic!!

I have been busy perfecting it at home and have found the perfect recipe.

Its the taste of spring and tastes (almost) as good without the gin for a 'school night' treat.

The Perfect Rhubarb G&T:

Combine 2 lbs of rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces with 3 cups or sugar & 3 cups of water and heat until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Turn down the heat and let it stew for  minutes or so.Strain the rhubarb (you can save it to make a crumble or eat with yoghurt & granola for breaky) reserving the syrup. 

Pour 1 1/2 ounces each of gin and rhubarb syrup over ice, add tonic water and finish with a sprig of mint.

More sequins than gold
