Summer Holidays

I'm off on my summer holiday to the beautiful south of France, so it'll be a bit quiet around here for the next few weeks, but do not fear, I'll be back with lots of fantastic new inspiration, work and news on Monday 5th August!

In the run up to my trip I have been dreaming of hot sunny days with lavender and sunflowers gently swaying in the breeze and it lead me to create a new collection of patterns which I am sharing with you today!

So, I hope my French has served me right in the little image I made below.. à bientôt! See you soon!
