the urban bakery

the urban bakery is a fabulous supplier of yummy handmade cupcakes and cookies of all shapes, sizes, flavours and colours..I used some of their scrumptious cupcakes on my 'Pretty Things' photoshoot with Sussie Bell and am very pleased that this shot is going to be in the March issue of Vogue featuring in an article about the urban bakery!

Based in Leamington Spa, they not only deliver to the local area but do cupcakes by post all over the UK..I can say from experience that they are the yummiest cupcakes so why not order some and see for yourself!

More wallpaper love..

I've been helping some friends choose some wallpaper for a feature wall in their bedroom and have used the opportunity to have a catch up on all of the fabulous wallpapers there are on offer at the moment..

wallpaperdirect is a great place to look as they stock a huge variety of brands..

The fabulous Not On The High Street has a sale on at the moment..I spent a few minutes browsing through to see what they've got on offer and while looking, came across a couple of lovely things..

One being the 'LOVE' print by 'Bodie and Fou' and the other a limited edition 'Lemon' cookery print by 'Paper Alligator'..Check out Not On The High Street for some alternative gift options..

Happy New Year!

Well, 2009 was certainly a year for changes and I am very excited about what 2010 has got in store.

I am very much looking forward to working with more talented stylists and photographers, styling my own work and launching my online shop Jolly Peachy..

Thankyou for following my blog on it's very short journey so far! :D

Tea and Cake...

I had a lovely day a couple of weeks ago when my friend Heather Attwood came over and we did a mini photoshoot. Here's a few of the shots..

Heather is a photographer based in Leamington Spa and mainly does portraits and wedding photos, so it was nice for her to shoot something different for the day! My Gran's lovely lemon and pink teaset featured again in the shoot. I just adore it! Always good to have cakes on a shoot as you get to munch them at the end of the day! :D

Paintings

I'm having a day of painting today as I've been asked to do 4 large canvases for a good friend in the style of Paul Klee.. It has been some time since I have painted anything so I am looking forward to getting stuck in and covered in paint! I am a big fan of Paul Klee's work, especially the pieces where he has used gorgeous soft pastel colours like 'Villa Florentine' and 'Highways and Byways'...lovely!
