Happy Christmas Everyone!

Wishing you all a Fabulous Christmas and A Happy New Year! Enjoy your sparkly gifts too xxx

GIVEAWAY - Silk Scarfs

It's officially Christmas time in my world. Everyone has their party dresses, glitter bags are already under trees across the land and the final red Christmas dress has been collected.

To say a THANK YOU! to the lovely customers and the people who have supported us over the past year we made hand printed silk chiffon scarves with our bow logo in navy, black, cream and pink. These were so much fun to make that I thought we should make a few extra to give away to readers too.

I also drew a picture (this is something I love to do more than anything over Christmas, pretending I'm an illustrator at Wing's drawing table!) showing 6 ways to wear your scarf. Some of you already have your scarves and have shown me how gorgeously you are wearing them! Thank you x

There are 8 to give away, they measure over a metre long and have a gold, silver or black print.

So the rules are .................

1. leave me a comment on this post telling me how you would style your silk scarf. The more imaginitive the better.
2. share this post with your friends (via facebook, twitter, waving, how ever you like to communicate that you like something) who may also like to win a silk scarf
3. I'll pick my favourites (or I'll just make more so you can all have one!)
3. When you get your scarf in the post send me a picture to share on the blog of how you have styled it.

Not much for a silk scarf delivered straight to your door.

The give away closes tomorrow night so get commenting  xxx

PLEASE NOTE THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW CLOSED

Friday Friends - Sarah Godsill

Anna and me at the tweet up!

The Little Red Cafe, Catharines Hill, Frome when Sarah is based.

Wedding preparations from Sarah's portfolio

 Last week at the Marry Me in Somerset Tweet up we met this super talented lady Sarah Godsill. 
Sarah was incredibly modest about her work, quietly sketching away in the corner until I decided to talk at her about illustration and how wonderful it must be to be able to draw so well! (My poor victims that get caught up in my ramblings on rare outings from the studio.)

The next day this amazing illustration of Anna and me arrived in my in-box and I was totally blown away. The sketches of all the people at the tweet up were instantly recognisable even though I had only met most of these people once.

Her work has this great Quentin Blake feel to it and looking at the further illustrations of the events and weddings she had drawn, I just keep thinking 'Four Weddings' (one of my favourite British films, all eccentric and dappy instead of miserable and grey!). Its beautifully English Summertime feel really makes the drawings and people come alive on the page with her vibrant use of colour and ability to capture personalities. I can just imagine how amazing it must be to receive a portfolio of the sketches after your wedding or event.
It's an illustrated story book of your day and one of the most gorgeous ideas and talents I have seen in a while. Not to mention she's a really lovely lady too who you would really want at your day.

Scrap the silly chair covers, favours, tea cups and even pudding, this is way more of a lasting treat. For more information on Sarah Godsill and to view her work click here!
