It's hard to believe that something this beautiful could be good for you too. Aunty Kat, who knows a lot about everything , especially plants and their uses, told me this makes a very good infusion.I boiled up the leaves and added some honeysuckle and now it is a favourite drink.Supposedly it is anti - spasmodic and good for asthma. Also good if you have just finished a very busy trade show , Pure!

This bag has been chosen to be in a book , Handbag Designer 101. That is going to be one seriously good book! Thanks To Emily !

I can't believe this fabric went INSIDE a bag.Well , we had the tiniest bit left and at least now someone can enjoy it.

I promised myself I would never talk about meals I have eaten ( the raspberries were borderline ) but once again, my attention turns to food. The relevance ? Once again , this inspires us. Just looking at these edible flowers makes me smile. These are all colours I am using for bags and jewellery at the moment.

raspberries

O.K. So is there any relevance to our website ? Of course because raspberries inspire us.

I think tomorrow there will be no new posts - we'll be eating them!

We have been working hard for Coastal Creatives, a wonderful shop in Bournemouth, near the beach.

This is the first new sample for them.We wanted to do a short necklace. This one ties in the back with cotton cord finished with two little pearls.As long as we can use our very scary mattress needles,we're happy !

Finally, a skirt bag being worn

This is the fabulous Dorota from Design Gap trying on a skirt bag . It is good to see

that the bag looks great with jeans( as well as more formal kit ). Can you see the plinth in the background? Handy to have a friend, Collette, in the antiques business.
