happy birthday martha!

A while back, I introduced you to my niece Martha, then showed you how well she complemented our George bedding/wallpaper(!) as part of our customer photo series.

Well, after experiencing her very first Christmas (although probably more exciting for the adults), today is Martha’s first birthday! Add to that, her first sight of snow…

So, here’s wishing [...]

olli and lime and martha

I was going to wait before posting another family pic but felt compelled to address the lack of female representation in this customer photo series!

I get the feeling this [...]

(end of) season's greetings…

I hope you had a great Christmas! We certainly did, with two fabulous family Christmas dinners and one indulgent London shopping trip!
