Antique linens and foxgloves........

I've been so busy lately preparing items for the Milton Keynes Vintage Market and the opening of Afterglow of Olney, that I had built up a pile of sewing that I wanted to get on with. So today I spent a happy few hours with my trusty shears and sewing machine making cushions for my own home....


I used some beautiful monogrammed French linens and you may remember the angel image from a previous post. This time I printed it directly onto fabric and appliqued it to a cushion cover -voila!


It's been a beautiful day here so I thought I ought to have some outdoor time too...


The garden is looking stunning at the moment and among the stars are these wonderful foxgloves....


I couldn't resist sharing with you...x

Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!

Last night I attended the preview evening of Afterglow of Olney. I can tell you a great time was had by all and the items on offer are so varied and lovely that you'll be sure to find the perfect gift for anyone 
(or even yourself!)...


Olney is a wonderful shopping destination with a growing reputation for galleries, interior design ideas and gifts. Also there are wonderful antique shops, bistros and delicatessans, and all set in such a pretty location with plenty of parking...


here are a few of the items from I Love My Home
