September colour.......

I woke up this morning, post holiday and decided to give my little work room a tidy up and found a box of beautiful shell buttons I bought in the summer from John Lewis and www.clothhouse.com in Soho.
If you don't know the Cloth House website or it's 2 Soho shops, they are well worth a visit. They stock loads of unusual ribbons, buttons and lace as well as a wonderful range of linen's and hand printed fabric. 
In the light the colours in each tiny button are so brilliant and they look great with the heart shaped stone I found when I was beach combing this time last week. 
I'm definitely going to keep the tones in mind for my winter pieces, I think antique rose gold will work very well with these lovely subtle shades of shell.

Autumn Colour........

Uuuummmmmm Autumn is on the way.........

Isle of Wight Botanic Garden

I've been away on holiday for the last few weeks and whilst away Summer is slowly slipping towards Autumn......my favourite time of year!
Whilst away I visited a beautiful Botanic Garden, with a very mysterious Hydrangea Walk. The colours are subtle, but completely inspiring and the texture of the petals is just like velvet. The way the light catches the flowers is lovely, especially at this time of year when they are perfect.
There is definitely a sense of calm in the air at the moment, not Summer, but not quite Autumn enough to wrap up warm in winter woollies. I absolutely love this time of year, from now until Christmas everything sparkles and I have an excuse to buy myself a lovely new winter coat!
