Anthropologie Launch

I've been Anthropologie's number one fan for as long as I can remember.  I stumbled upon them years ago in New York before they'd arrived on our shores and have been obsessed with them ever since.  When they announced a few weeks ago that they were going to take me under their wing and help me to launch my new book, Inspire, I honestly thought I was going to pass out with excitement.  My dreams have actually, quite literally come true.  

So, in a couple of weeks - two weeks before any other shop is stocking it - they are launching Inspire in their Kings Road shop.  I'm doing a workshop, a signing and then it's the launch party later that night.  And a week later we're doing the same again in their new Guilford shop. And to add to the excitement, the heavenly Daylesford are providing all the food.  

So apologies if I'm a little MIA in the next few weeks; Every waking Cub-free hour is going to be spent finalising my workshop creations and deciding on the final touches for the store decorations...  

Selvedge Pop Up

Selvedge is one of my favourite magazines.  It's guaranteed to inspire and make me reach for the Copydex every time I pick up a copy.  It was with utter joy that I stumbled on their pop up shop in Anthropologie last week.  It's not huge but it looked beautiful.  And very arty.  And all these threads haves sent me into a necklace making madness.

paint swatches

I don't know what it is about these swatches of paint. They are on the walls of the Anthropologie store in Chelsea and just looked so cool. I'm sure it's actually a very swanky piece of art but people were looking at me like I was a bit of a loonie while I was taking photos of them. I'm quite tempted to try and recreate it at home this weekend.
