point of view

We’re in. And though not totally back to normal, we’re getting there. Aside from a big broadband delay (AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!) it’s been pretty much plain sailing.

As you’d expect, I’ll be sharing my photos over the coming weeks. Initially though, something a bit quirky; the rather un-glamorous view from our second floor landing…

There are arguably far better [...]

are we nearly there yet?

Almost. We’re literally on the verge of moving. For us, that means moving home and office. Fun on one hand but a pain in in the backside very disruptive on the other.

We’ll do our best to maintain a normal service. Ordering shouldn’t be affected but we won’t be taking calls or dealing with non-urgent emails, [...]

christmas comes early

Anyone who’s ever dealt with the media, particularly long-lead magazines, will know that they start thinking about Christmas early. VERY early. Like summer early.

I have sympathy for these guys, having worked in PR 10+ years. Writing Christmas releases six months in advance means that by the time it arrives, you’re sick of it!

Anyway, we took [...]

olli and lime and little george

I love it when customers send in photos, particularly when unprompted. And that happened this week, when Augusta-based Jennifer shared this Little George mural…

This mural is a biggie; more than fifteen feet wide and eight feet tall! Karen had to add a buzzing bee (not normally present on this design) and extra flowers to fill [...]

on the move

After a predictably twisty, turny, up and down affair, we’re finally on the move…unless something VERY dramatic happens. Hmmm, I really shouldn’t tempt fate, should I?

We’ve exchanged contracts which (in the UK) means both parties are legally bound to complete the sale/purchase. I can almost smell the new, albeit vulgar, stair carpet.

We have mixed emotions [...]

spring sample sale

Our spring sample sale is now on! Actually, to be honest, it’s been running for a good few days now. I just haven’t conjured-up the energy, or time, to let you know about it!

The sale features up to 70% off sample and last season stock. Click here for the UK and Europe sale and here [...]

world cup party

Sorry for being a bit flaky recently. To explain, we’re in the midst of moving house, it was my birthday this week and we’re just about to host a big World Cup party.

If you didn’t know, England are about to take on the US in both nations’ opening game. I won’t bore you with footy talk, [...]

our town

Here’s a quick picture post for anyone interested in where we live…not our new home, that’s (hopefully) coming soon, but the town where we happen to live; Cheltenham.

The sun was shining the other day for a change so I took some random shots of villas, terraces and streets which, to me, sum up what I [...]

unhappy hipsters

Unhappy Hipsters is a blog – more of an institution really – that I’ve been visiting and sharing with people for a while now. I thought it was time to give it some formal credit.

If you haven’t visited, do so. In a nutshell, they add amusing and insightful captions to deliciously styled lifestyle photographs from [...]

chair obsessed

Last weekend was a hectic one, with a ‘stag do’ and a wedding to attend. We did manage to squeeze in some shopping though and (unexpectedly) bought this chair…

It was an impulse buy but – at 50% off – also an absolute steal. Plus we’ve had our eyes on it for ages. Unfortunately we had [...]
