loads of stuff happening...

 Looking forward to a gathering of boys making clay easter eggs in the workshop tomorrow.  Meanwhile, mud hut company's gone for a rather beautiful take on the industrial interiors look with our Bubble tiles.  Here's how they look en masse.  I want a whole wall done in them!!! 

And another version of the same tiles, softened with a new border version of Antimacassar which is REALLY lovely.  All in all, a good day's work. 

Oh, and just sending off some Bath tiles to Grasse on Pulteney Bridge, which is a really gorgeous - and independent - lifestyle shop run by the lovely Jo.  Busy busy busy. :)

summer's coming.

Reading the May edition of Living etc.  All that blue and white to uplift the spirits.  Been sitting in the conservatory, and tackling the garden today.  The fig's gone crazy, the bougainvillea coming to life, olive tree sprouting new branches, geraniums out.  Love it.

a little quote from the Songlines....

Reading Bruce Chatwin's 'The Songlines' again 20 years on... beautiful.  I love this ....
from Exodus 20:25...
'And if thou wilt make me an alter of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.'

Honour what we have,as it is :)

spring country living fair Islington

What did you think of the Country Living Fair?  I went yesterday as I'm considering a stand there for next year.  Met some nice women - Nila Rubia, who designs lovely clothes using Indian prints, and Welbeck tiles. Retail's definitely hit hard - plenty of shoppers but not so much shopping! A lovely sunny day nonetheless and very relaxing - followed my retailing sojourn with an extended lounge at Little Venice with sandwiches and smoothie!
So, trade fair or no trade fair?  Know any good ones, perhaps a bit more cutting edge than Country Living?
