loving england in this blustery autumn weather...
& loving memories of past autumn's here in our english village...
three & a half years ago, when we first came to the english countryside, we fell hard for the seasons
& for much of the gorgeous old architecture that was on our doorstep...
steeped in history, it was so different to the *clean- lined- simple* architecture of the beaches back in australia...
last night i saw my *Miss Sew & So* goodies snuggled into one of the beautiful old buildings we
have so loved since moving here...
it was such a pleasure for this beach girl...reared on the other side of the globe, to put my goodies in an
old english building to be enjoyed by local's that we have come to love...
this gorgeous old shop...tiles & all...was the perfect backdrop for the one-off, bespoke
cushions & bunting that i adore making...
the very cool mama, i mentioned here, who owns this beautiful shop lucky ducks gave me a brief
that simply stated..."nothing to matchy...i'm not good at that..."
& i loved her for it...it allows me to sew as i feel...to just put together what feels right at that moment...
so, i'm now surrounded by piles of wonderful, random fronts of cushions in my studio waiting to
be finished up & delivered...
the shop has a fab mix of vintage & modern, with London touches...city meets country in a way that
only the english can do...a quirky mix of cool but practical...old world but young...
i love this about the UK...
so...last night a glass of wine or two was had...& some shopping for christmas was done...
& today it's back to creating some more special pieces for lovely ducks as the wind whistles past
& i think about beautiful buildings...
have a wonderful weekend
yours truly in scarf & skinnies
trying to keep the look *cool* ;)

loving the autumnal weather
