Vintage Treasure Trove Finds.....
























During a much needed clear out, I was thrilled to rediscover some vintage lace fabrics I bought at the market in Aix-en-Provence a few years ago. A favourite get-away place and destination for my wedding 4 years ago, I love souvenirs from Aix!

The lady on the market stall was very informative..... She told me that the garments and linens often come from dusty, forgotten trunks in Parisian attics. Many of them are monogrammed and I'm sure have interesting stories attached.

These fabrics are so inspiring to me. The tiny rips and tears seem to make them unique. I have been meaning to rework a couple of the garments to be worn, however for now just looking at them will have to do!

Lacey Update






















As I have been absent for so long, I thought I'd post some pics of recent work. Here is my stand at Origin, The London Craft Fair in October. I'm currently expanding the neckpiece collection seen here - so many ideas, so little time!

Elle Deco Excitement



I am thrilled to be featured in this month's Elle Decoration Magazine. I had been nervously anticipating the piece since November, and am pleased with the result! It's so encouraging to be noticed as a designer when so much time is spent hidden away making. Please note, I don't always look this scary!

Welcome to the first post of my blog! Here are some images of my recent work. I'm busy making new pieces for various exhibitions just now, including huge panels and screen-quite a challenge!
