Hello!

My name is Lou Archell, I am a freelance illustrator / writer, mother and blogger, lover of sunshine, dancing in my kitchen and drinking endless cups of tea. I share my home in Bristol, UK with my partner Dan, and sons Charlie (7) and Rufus (5). We love to live an adventure filled and simple life in this wonderful city. Littlegreenshed celebrates the magic of moments and the simple beauty of every day life.

I love sunshine, walking barefoot, the smell of wood smoke, dancing, riding my bike, collecting shells on the beach, laughing with my sons, cooking, listening to music, drinking cocktails, knitting socks, making jam, star gazing, cloud watching, drinking loose leaf tea & renovating my home. I get inspiration through everything that surrounds me nature, people, fashion, animals, flora.... it's all jotted down in my notebooks and captured on camera which I always carry around with me.
