some photos from Sardinia where I was lucky to be for 2 weeks, touring around. came across some great Textiles, and also these pretty hand woven baskets from a place called Castlesardo. I wish I had been able to buy some! 

i love getting special things in the post, so was happy when my very clever friend Louise created  'Sew to Post'. I was lucky enough to receive these gem's from the very talented Amanda Luke!

Fresh Colour

I spotted this building around the park slope area in brooklyn during a recent holiday! I thought the colour combination looked really fresh - especially as they were photographed in the sunshine!

Brooklyn Museum

Exibition: Utagawa: Masters of the Japanese Print, 1770-1900. I saw this exhibition recently and it was really inspiring - not only the use of colour, the incredible pattern but also the skill involved in producing these prints is amazing. Take a few hours - you will need it to appreciate all the detail! www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/utagawa/
