Portugal

I'm just back from an amazing trip to Portugal. After spending the last week in the sunshine I'm refusing to look outside at the dreary, rainy weather. Instead, I'm looking at my favourite tiles and patterns I saw on my trip.

I'm Havin' A Clear Out

It's a fact. I have too many clothes. I have a wardrobe so full that you have to squeeze in the clothes in a very special way to allow the doors to close. I used to have a wardrobe exclusively for shirts. Nothing else. Just shirts. I also have a bureau. Is it full of pretty stationery and writing sets? No. It's full of clothes and shoes. I think it's time for a clear out!

I'm selling lots of vintage dresses, skirts, shirts and shoes over on eBay so if you fancy having a look you can do that right here

  

My Very First Print Collection

After weeks of waiting, I'm so pleased to finally launch my very first print range! I spend my days creating patterns and prints for textiles so I thought it was about time I made some nice pattern for your walls!

1. Tilly / 2. Daisy / 3. Bloom / 4. Sprig - blue / 5. Sprig - red / 6. Sprig - cream / 7. Lovey Dovey / 8. Sunflower

All are available now from the website

A New Collection For Summer

There has been much bouncing off the walls in excitement here at the Clare Nicolson studio this week. Why? It's finally here! The new collection! It's here!

About a month ago I had the sad news that the digital print people I've been using for the last 7 years were closing down. This all happened just as I was placing a new order for my new collection! Disaster! After lots of research I've found a brand new (still UK based of course) fabric printer who I'm very happy with.

So, after that little hiccup, I'm pleased to finally launch the new collection! The new cushions are available now online

There are lots of new products coming soon to the Clare Nicolson range. To make sure they can all fit here in the studio we've decided to have a Spring sale!
