I am afraid I am on my annual leave for the next two weeks. Im off to Cornwall, but this year we have extended our trip and we are spending four days on the Isles of Scilly. I just hope the weather is ok. On our return its my baby brothers wedding to his lovely fiance Rebecca, so exciting!

Ill return on the 28th June with loads of inspirational photographs, Cornwall always inspires me so much.

I have been busy updating my Etsy and Folksy shops this weekend. There is some lovely new products available. You can also follow me on my facebook page here.

“That was me aged about 8, after swimming on a Saturday morning at Ladywell swimming baths somewhere south of London. I’ve got my towel tucked under my arm and my dad and I are on our way to Foyles bookshop which was our Saturday morning treat. My dad told me it was the biggest bookshop in the world and I loved it, the fresh piles of new books and being allowed to choose one.

Dad bought me Rudyard Kipling when I wanted Enid Blyton and I still have the books he bought me. This is where my love of books and all things bibliophile began. Escapism among the towering stacks of freshly laid print.”

I love this description of Louise’s love of books.

Louloulovesbooks was introduced to me at my book club at HBP, I have seen a few of her books and each one gives me that “I want to own this” feeling. They are visual treats with a brilliant sense of humour. Check out her website here, I am trying so hard not to buy to many books.

Rachel Cave is a London based freelance pattern designer who regular sells her work for a range of surfaces such as homeware’s, textiles, fashion fabrics and printed paper products.

She has completed a number of briefs for companies such as JosephJoseph, Typhoon, Generation Baby and Jenny Duff. I love the simplicity of Rachel’s designs, her use of colour is what initially attracted me to her work. Below are a series of prints that Rachel showed at Printsource in April, you can see further examples of her work on her website here.
