> Cowparsley... and elderflowers


We took a little time off yesterday afternoon and went to collect the last of the elderflowers in the meadow to make more of our delicious Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Elderflower cordial... and add to our extensive collection of cowparsley photos!  This was the inspiration for our Lost Garden WallScene wallpaper - we decorated our library in the Spring Green colour and the room is nearly finished.  Will post some images soon.

PS: We absolutely LOVE Hugh too!!!!!

> very, very busy!

...very, very busy at the moment so apologies for the lack of blog entries recently.

We are working on our Autumn/Winter collection at the moment and have a host of new retailers lined up to take our products. The fabrics and bedding/cushions are almost ready(!!!) and we have lots of interior design projects on the go, designing bespoke wallcoverings, bedrooms and bathrooms. It is such brilliant fun and the very best job in the world!

We are also doing some amazing projects with our 'grown-up' interior company, Colliss & Quinton. Our fabulous project in London recently hit a big snag in that it is Grade 1 listed and pre-dates the Great Fire of London so lots of gentle persuasion and compromise is required - this project is going to look amazing! We are starting works on a Norfolk farmhouse (another lovely Georgian building) and the Fisherman's Cottage in Weymouth is finished!!!!  We are off there next week for a break as our clients have very kindly said we can stay as a "Thank You"!  And the weather is set to be fabulous too! Interior photos will follow next week.  We recently finished our Surrey house (the sad, neglected 1960's house that hadn't been touch since the 1970's).  It now looks positively gorgeous and very much loved with a contemporary 60's twist and includes our wallcoverings, fabulous bespoke furniture and our favourite Kartell lights and Panton chairs. 

We will be starting work on our Colliss & Quinton website very soon. It will have a new look and you will be able to buy the fab wallcoverings and soft furnishing we have designed directly from us.

We love our job!!!

Spanish blog

Ana from Peque Chic Deco contacted us recently to get some information from us for a Spanish blog she writes for - and went on to describe our products as "spectacular, original, exciting and fun".

Thanks very much, Ana for such an enthusiastic and generous write up!  Wait until you see the new Autumn/Winter collections we are designing at the moment!!!

> Little One Baby - Australia


Amy and Amy from 'LittleONE Baby' contacted us recently to feature our Wall Stickers in their fabulous magazine.  We are included in their "I love new things" page... which explains the number of orders we are now receiving from Australia and from Melissa at Ele-ahbaant (now re-named Whimsy Child).

We love this magazine and send much praise their way for the beautiful layouts and fab typography in evidence throughout!

Thanks to you both for the feature.

> Big and Little Ben's in Angels & Urchins - summer issue


We received our Summer issue of Angels and Urchins today and were thrilled to see our Big and Little Ben's featured on their Interior News page.

We have some very exciting alternatives for Big Ben, inspired by a couple of bespoke commissions, and these will be available on our webshop shortly.

Thanks very much to Annie and Emily for including us in their feature.
