I am a Mum of 3 gorgeous girlies and live in the Essex (UK) countryside in a little coastal village. I love home decorating and styles, fashion and collecting retro and vintage fabrics! It's an addiction! as well as recycling/upcycling old furniture.

I make and sew from my fabric collection but have now embarked on another project of opening my own tearoom with my best friend.

I am extremely inspired by all the great talent seen on Flickr.

and Lo V e vintage (especially 50's 60's and 70's). I love trawling through charity shops, boot sales etc. for little retro finds! especially 70's crockery and fabulous fabric. x
