Columbia Road Flower Market

At the weekend I visited Columbia Road Flower Market in London.. and boy was it a treat!

If you love flowers I highly recommend a visit! Gorgeous flowers galore, the market runs 8am - 3pm on Sundays.

While we were there we picked up some incredible peonies.. which amazingly survived their hike around London and then back home where they are now blooming beautifully!

Officially a graduate

As of yesterday, I am officially a graduate! Woohoo!

We had our ceremony at the wonderful location of Royal Festival Hall on London's South Bank, the sun even came out for the photos (excuse the hair it was quite windy!)

Not sure how I managed to pick a university that has pink and purple robes, but pretty happy about it!

Now on with grown up life!

Amy King Fabrics

I love browsing Spoonflower for wonderful fabrics. This morning I was once again browsing and rediscovered the amazing fabrics by Amy King. They are just so jolly and colourful and I absolutely love them! So I thought I would share some of her designs with you!

Below are fabrics from the Linear Love Collection, this leaves fabric is one of my favourite fabrics, EVER!

The wonderful Scream for Ice Cream fabric

In The Woods Hearts

In The Woods Apple

Dont Want To Be Fish Fingers fabric

2 fabrics from the Rainy London Collection

This final piece of fabric is not just a beautiful piece of fabric, this piece of Elephant Mobile Fabric creates the mobile shown below when cut out, stuffed and pieced together. This is such a wonderful idea and only involves simple sewing making this brilliant project accessible to all!
