We have had a little glimpse of spring this week; much needed for many of us in these turbulent times. It was so lovely to see the sunshine - albeit briefly. Inspired by shades of mini eggs, (shortly before eating them), I had a little tinker with making a mood board on the iPad - trying to learn new skills while we are all in lockdown!

This then led me down a Pinterest rabbit hole. It is so easy to while away a whole afternoon on Pinterest . Looking at my boards here gives you a real insight into my head!

These lovely pictures are on this board and you can link back to their original sources there too.

From our fabric collection are Torcello linen, (below left) which is a beautiful fabric woven in Scotland for us. It has an ecru warp (the up and down threads on a loom) and a coloured weft (the side to see threads) which gives it a lovely soft and gentle colour.

On the right is a very pleasing stack of pastel Polka Dot fabric and pompoms. Did you know we can print our polka dot in any colour for you?

This has been one of my favourite colour mood boards on Pinterest for ages. It’s originally from love print studio here .

I also found this one from the ever talented Clare Davis. I think the original is from her Insta feed but it popped up in my Pinterest feed.

I hope the weekend brings you some colour and joy, love Sarah xx

Its always hard getting back into work mode (especially when the children are still off school!)

i have been clinging to the last vestiges of summer and reminding myself of all the yummy food in the market in ile de re - we had such delicious camping lunches

i am inspired to keep it going now we are back with lots of salads from our garden!

and it seems as though so has everybody else has been hanging on to the last days of summer too - as our nauticals have been really popular this week.

the gorgeous cushions in the bottom left picture are made by my friend Ceri at White Mulberry soft furnishings - have a check out of her website. we will be featuring some more of ceri's lovely work in a forthcoming post!

I dont think any working mums find life easy - and its often difficult to get the balance right!

so in between working this week we have been to giffords circus (a wonderful event and if you are in the cotswolds in the summer time it is well worth a visit - its a really traditional beautiful old fashioned show and i LOVE it every year!!)

However I have had design ideas pouring out of me this week, so i have been trying to get those down on paper at the same time as colouring our new designs for decorex and sorting out new product / accessories samples which have been arriving for christmas!

its nice to be back on my mac and indulge my pinterest passion!

this quote was one of my favourites of the week!
