Elle Deco


Whooooo hooooooo I wrote at the beginning of the year that I wanted to have Belle & Boo mentioned in Elle Deco (my fav interiors mag) & this month there we are, I am very chuffed :)


I spent a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds with my family, it was such a beautiful house (we stayed in the middle section, called Bell House) there was a very pretty courtyard, where I spent many an hour sipping Rose wine & flicking through the pages of Cotswold Life, trying to decide which country pile I would buy if I had a spare few million!


My dad and I visited Woodchester Mansion, a grand gothic building. The Mansion was abandoned by its builders in the middle of construction around 1870, leaving behind a building that appears complete from the outside, but with floors, plaster and whole rooms missing inside. Now a programme of training courses in stone conservation and craftsmanship are run there. Check out the taps on this bath.



& shower


There was also lots of crochet & blanket lounging. Thanks mum it was super x



It was back to reality with a bang on Monday, my studio looks more like a car boot sale at the moment as I gather everything I will need for the up coming shows. Its Bubble this Sunday where we will launch our new Autumn Winter collection of clothes, so check back next week for photos.

Congratulations ...I so wish I could get these magazines...I find our Canadians ones full of nothing 60% of the time. My all time favourite one lately is British Country Living..I can get that one here.
