the linen garden: October 2012

…I sit here facing the end of October, wondering how the hell I got through the last 6 weeks but also how can it possibly be the end of the month already! October has been full speed, resulting in very little time being spent here. That wasn’t supposed to happen….This is my new blog, I am supposed to start this with full zest, inspiration and sampling in abundance…..but sometimes things just don’t go to plan…

I intend to return to this little journal – my new home… in November… and start as I mean to go on…I hope you haven’t all left me in this empty nest…helllllooooo! Is anybody out there??? Please leave a comment and say hello so I don’t feel as if I am sat alone in an empty room…and in return I promise to start chit chats, notations, ramblings of life…..far more regularly… and to prove I haven’t been sat doing nothing here are a few snap shots of my crazy month……and I couldn't have got through it without Bob...

...while we turn up the thermostats, arrange folded blankets on chairs in every room of the house and find our cardigans at the back of the wardrobe...I am thinking of Summer.... a touch of Spring as it melts to the Summer months as the studio is filled with wonderful sampling of vintage inspired wedding stationery. Here is the second part to The Linen Garden photo shoot, as promised, that was styled in my studio back in August to promote the new additions for 2013 to The Vintage Drawer Collection. Pictures of pretty.

I am also thrilled to announce that a couple of the images will be used in the new book to be launched in March 2013 "Style Me Vintage: Weddings" - collated and written by Love My Dress blogger Annabel Beeforth (you can read more here). The Vintage Drawer will be gracing the pages of a couple more books next year but can only disclose this as they are 'officially announced'.... happy times....

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Annabel earlier this year as part of her Inspirational Women in Business Series...if you have the time (you may need a considerably large pot of tea!) you can read it here....
