The Pull Shapes Photoshoot

Last week I had a shoot for the new range with photographer chum Garry Maclennan. After a lot of humming and hawing about locations I decided to have it in my flat. Easy! Lots of chairs, vintage props and walls that match the cushions perfectly!

 

 

Pull Shapes! A New Collection

It's been a while, huh? The new collection is finally here! Wheeeeeeee! The cushions are inspired by shapes. Can you tell? All kinds of shapes! Triangles, circles, petals, rectangles, hexagons and of course I had to sneak a birdie in there too!

To celebrate the launch of the collection, there's 20% off everything! No foolin! Simply enter PULLSHAPES at checkout to receive your discount. I'd love to know what you think of the new collection so please get in touch!

Monday Thrift Shopping

Mondays are my day off from working at The Maisonette. But as you can imagine, they're not really days off. There's still work to be done elsewhere. Working on my own designs, Made In The Shade work, cleaning, shopping and loads more get squeezed into every Monday.

This morning, while running errands I couldn't resist popping into my favourite East End charity shops. I'm allowed to go shopping on my day off, right? Yes. I'm now the giddy owner of a new collection of souvenir tea towels.

Total spend: £4.50
