Make-up purse!

and this is the finished result using my lovely vintage floral cotton..backed with recycled camel suede. Available in the etsy store

Welcome into my Atelier

I will be opening up my studio to you in the next few days and weeks to show you a little bit of my life here in France..

Vintage worn fabrics - I adore them. Ane they have to be natural fibre too - sunbleached lawn cotton, slubby crumpled linens, threadbare silks.

At the moment I am loving this really old Swiss cotton print that I've had hanging around for years. I think my mum had it covering a chair. I have several cuttings of it and and planning some purses..

Monday moodboard! here's my lovely pale blue's greys and taupes mix for this week..

the simplicity of light

I have fallen in love with this corner of my old french house. At different times of day the light quality has such subtle, beautiful changing nuances. I love to capture it just as it is - no touch ups - nothing.
