The amazing Mia Widlake

by ak

We are so excited to be working with Mia Widlake – she’s an immensely talented stylist, who also makes (by hand) a whole lot of beautiful homeware. She also sources all sorts of one-off finds, and to our delight, she now puts them in our shop.

So if you are looking for something right out of all those amazing blogs, we now have a series of the most unusual objects scattered throughout our shop.

Looking forward to lots of fun together in the future…

{PS : how wonderful is the packaging?}

Homeware – almost in my vice-like grip

I am trying to find more colourful ways of wording the patience I have had to self-implement – as well as the subsequent satisfaction I have been experiencing. And this time of year, my vocabulary is less than adequate. Apart from the plethora of swearwords that I resort to – to counteract this condition in my word bank.

Hence… you may find this post short… but very sweet. Hopefully.

After the initial battle to find a suitable manufacturer for the Blueberry Hill homeware range – the war is won! Prototypes of a beautiful standard arrived (on time) last week. It’s tremendously strange looking back at your sketches at this point – because the line drawing has been turned into an object. A couple of tweaks, and early 2010 should see porcelain proliferating various retail halfway houses and drinking holes.

At this point – I must just mention that Scarlett o’Hara was the inspiration behind the Toast Saucer. She always nibbles on her husband’s morning toast – before he can have a bite – because “she can’t carry it all”. Well, now the eternally-indebted-to-me husband can have his toast, and Scarlett, can have hers.

Will keep you updated on final releases etc.
