return to the Motherland

If you need me I’ll be in my girl cave!

 

It’s been a busy month.

After an epic road trip, crossing 4 countries back to the uk with 4 dogs, 2 cats, my life and shop in the back of a van, we have successfully relocated back to the motherland!

Since then I’ve been knee deep in boxes.
Packing/moving/unpacking is such a bore but after the stress comes the fun bit… nesting, pottering and titivating galore!
Having new spaces to fill, build and create is the light at the end of a traumatic tunnel.

Finding new ways to display and utilise old items always excites me, so with a couple of glasses of vino and some good tunes I’ve spent my evenings converting this old barn into a shiny new studio where I´ll happily spend my working week.

A perfect little hideaway where ideas flow and designs come to life.

Time to get creative.

Watch this space…..exciting things are on their way!

 

 

Winter vintage; peek behind the scenes

The weather was not our friend, heavy rain kept us indoors so the house was transformed into something of a studio using whatever lighting we could muster! It was the usual mix of snaps, laughter, mess, music, dogs and sangria! New vintage collection on its way soon.

behind the scenes shenanigans from our latest photo shoot

Photo shoots are always a fave way to spend my working day! I put my styling head on and frolic around the farm playing dress up with my friends and a couple of cheeky sangrias! Here’s a snippet of what went on behind the scenes of our latest summer vintage collection, due in store soon!

with this amazing vintage ring from the new vintage jewelry collection at The Stellar Boutique… too bad it would be too small for the finger I want to wear it on! It is perfect for summer with just the right amount of turquoise and ornate goodness…. tear.
