Liberty Fabrics

A while ago I took my lovely Granny out shopping to Stratford-upon-Avon which is a biannual trip we do..Every time we visit we pop to Fred Winters for her to look at the fabrics and to buy some sewing bits and bobs..It's always a great opportunity for me to check out some of the Liberty fabrics they stock..

Last time I went, they were selling off lots of end of roll pieces and I was in my element..I ended up spending a fortune on about 25 samples (which was whittled down from about 40!)..

Here's some of the best ones..Going to make them into cushion covers and use them in some shots..

Lazy blogger

Well, I've been a very lazy blogger indeed over the past few weeks as it has been very hectic to say the least. March started with work on the AW10 Next Catalogue and then onto styling for the Home Retail Group (Argos and Homebase)

It's been extremely busy but great at the same time working with a big team of talented photographers, set bulilders and art directors and using a range of sets and products..

Watch this space for images once the catalogues are out...

BBC Homes and Antiques, March 2010- Recent Assisting Work

Here's a few images from the 'New Romance' feature in March's edition of BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine styled by Selina Lake. It was a fabulous shoot to assist on-the location was great and the cakes were yummy to much on afterwards!

Particularly love the beautiful quilt by Plumo made from Indian Sari's..the colours and detailing are amazing..

You might recognise the wallpaper from one of my shots from my recent shoot with Sussie Bell..I was lucky to get a bit that was leftover from this shoot so I made good use of it! Love the colours and the large scale floral design. It's from Designer's Guild and is £42 per roll..

Hurry Up Spring!

I don't know about you but I am desperate for the grey, miserable weather to pass and for the bluebells and snowdrops to start springing through and the fields to be full of lambs and greenery again..It feels so long since we had nice weather..

A lot of the Spring/Summer 2010 Home Catalogues are now out and I have been spending a lot of time perusing them this week..

Here's a lovely new range of kitchen tableware and textiles from Marks and Spencer to brighten up your day!

Cakestands by Anneka Sandher

Here's some more of the lovely handmade cakestands by Anneka Sandher that I used in my shoot last week..Absolutely gorgeous colours and styles of vintage plates used..

They retail at £40 each and are available from 'Kitsch' on Pelham Street in Nottingham, or from Anneka directly.

Perfect for an alternative Valentine's or Mother's Day gift!
