Whistle-stop Home visit…

I managed a really quick visit to Home at Earls Court yesterday and thought I'd share some of my favourite finds with you. There were certainly lots of talented people exhibiting; very inspiring indeed! Look out for website links after the images so you can go and see for yourselves. Enjoy...

A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
Another large empire lampshade recovered this week. Using @clarke_clarke_interiors Linoso II in charcoal. A nice contrast against the pink flowers!
Gorgeous gorgeous lampshade in the sunshine 🌞
Hmmmm! Little Rosie is a pickle. Into everything! But I'm managing to make lampshades in between stopping the digging and chewing (she's very vocal, I tell her off and she barks back 🤣)
I'm looking forward to teaching a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow tomorrow evening. Six attendees will be learning to make a small drum lampshade from a selection of lovely @toast fabric remnants. Can't wait! 🌞🌞🌞
I hope you're enjoying this warm spell! Our garden is going crazy, lots of colourful flowers and the veg patch is coming along nicely. I love picking lettuce for lunch every day and am looking forward to peas, raspberries, chard, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, French beans and lots more 😋
