There is no better way to say 'bye for now' and Merry Christmas to everyone than with this beautiful picture from 🧡 in my favourite Willow Bonnet. I randomly popped into Hayleys dms earlier this year and without hesitation or thought for herself she kindly replied and has been one of my biggest cheerleaders, supporters and champions ever since, asking for nothing in return ❤️.

Hayley you have taught me the true kindness of a stranger .. you have shown me that I should have more faith in myself and others around me and that there are more nice people in the world than mean ones - thank you so much for being you ❤️ my bestest random instagram friend 🤗

So 2023 has been a learning curve and I am here to learn. I know now what I love, what I dont, where my passion is and most importantly that I need to 'pivot' in 2024 if I am going to achieve my goals next year .. but how exciting to have learnt all of that in just 12 months.

Thank you to Sean for your digital marketing help, all at for continuous courses and training, for an amazing knowledge base and mentoring programme - 2023 wouldn't have been the same without all of your help and please keep your ears to the ground as I am sure I will be chewing your ears in the new year, 😂

So to everyone that has been a part of my 2023 - thank you from the bottom of my heart, I can not tell you how much I have appreciated every interaction you have given me. To all of my new friends in business - you have got this 💪 keep going and lets all have a very very Merry Christmas 🥂 and I will see you all in 2024 🥳

Love from my family and me 🤗 xXx

Thank you soooo much for all of the amazing and lovely people I got the pleasure of chatting to at the Richmond Market. It is always priceless to have your honest feedback and comments on my clothing especially after you have actually held them. I had such a lovely time and appreciated everyone that stopped and said hello despite the slightly soggy ending to the day 😝 ��As I have said above I have only 9 days left for people to get their orders in before I close for 3 months. All Christmas orders have already made their way home with any remaining orders placed before the 30th November heading off by the 14th December. So if you have had your eyes on anything then make sure you grab it before the 1st December 🛍️ ��Just a quick add on, I have some market goodies that are at special end of season prices for the Market only .. what do you think to me carrying these through to my Stories? I also have some market specials that are available to order in larger sizes before I close on the 30th.

I love a full on Christmas cheese fest in my house over Christmas. None of my decorations match, my tree is full of the children’s oversized, ‘lovingly hand sewn’ school projects, my entrance hall is a sea of lights and dangly baubles, I’ve handcrafted swimming noodles into candy canes and giant ‘paper chains’ from foam sheets … we even have elf legs sticking out of our tree.

There was no way I was going neutral and beige for my Xmas Collection ‘23 .. so here we have the first sneaky glimpse of our first outfit .. still to be named - suggestions very welcome below.

🎅🏽 Pre-order | 30th Oct - 12th Nov
🤶🏼 Name embroidered for free (pre-orders only)
🎁 Delivery | week beg 4th Dec

Dress is shown with our vintage top (available at our market events or you can msg me for info) .. petticoat and Willow Bonnet
❤️❤️❤️ … could an outfit be more Christmassy 😍

I would love to know what you think?

I am super excited to say I am going to be at the Little Bird Markets Richmond Market this Sunday 10am-3pm.

I am busy sewing away as much as I can so there will be quite a few limited prints available to buy on the day, and I will also be taking made to order purchases too, with a 2 week turnaround.

If you are in the area please come down, say hello and have a good look through our natural fibre fabrics, feel the fabulous quality and enjoy our timeless vintage inspired loveliness .. it will be amazing to see some of you 😊

**important** this is mega mega out of my comfort zone, so please be kind, 😂

Oooo doesn’t it feel like autumn .. the leaves are falling, the pumpkins are ready and we have all our knits on standby.

Our pumpkin outfit has been given a lot of love and is only available in 12-18 months now. For Halloween / pumpkin picking the last day to order is probably going to be the next 7-10 days … after that postage can’t be guaranteed 😊

It’s our first ever pumpkin picking tomorrow with … I’m nervous and a little excited at the same time. 🤞🏻 this flipping cold goes away or I am going to be tucked up in bed and miss it 😢
