Thank you! It was rather a labour of love!

Thank you!

Thank you!

This was my #knitting project whilst I was in Cape Town, finally finished in Lagrasse, washed and ironed. I used my favourite bubble trouble pattern by Ute Nawratil in 4 ply cotton. It can be worn in 2 ways, using the collar either as a cowl or pulling it down over the shoulders to give a 50s feel.

For anyone in Lagrasse I am hosting along with Laura Zabo and even 'TRANSFORM WASTE INTO WEARABLE ART' come and find out how to Create Stunning Earrings from #Upcycled Materials on the 17th May 2025. #ecoglam

I had a creative morning today where I was introduced to some other ideas for embroidery. The flower centre is a scrunched up piece of "waste" fabric that I would normally throw in the bin, but this is a much better thing to do with it! With my beloved French knots in the middle. #embroidery

Happy Valentine's Day! Ottolenghi's 𝘚𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 cookbook delivered again! Made and photographed his Strawberry & Rhubarb Custard for a special occasion. Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb nestled in luxurious custard... divine.

I never realised that either!

Wow! Love it!

I’m excited to announce I’ve organised 2 workshops in Lagrasse. You'll learn to make earrings by #upcycling bicycle inner tubes and used Nespresso capsules. Your teacher will be Laura Zabo, a talented jewellery designer, whose work has been flying off my shelves for several years. #upcycle

Giant baskets! These beauties arrive direct from #homofaberbiennial to find a temporary home in my store. It takes 2 weeks to weave a #babatreebasket of this size and quality.

I've been working on some vintage lace tablecloths from my stocks. What a joy to bring them back to life as Wearables. I am in awe of the skills of their original makers. This one is a very finely crocheted piece. #Crochet #Handmade

Absolutely!!

Anyone can wear this Roberto!

Thanks @dsz.bsky.social I loved knitting it!

Thank you Lizet!

Thank you very much
