peaceful at 4am!!

...seem to be getting into the habit of getting up early on a Saturday morning, I am working all weekend, and it is so peaceful at this time (4am!!) - the quality of light in the studio is perfect, not too bright, not yet too warm. Great day ahead, trying to work on new images for the site. Re-colouring the palettes for the english and vintage rose, re-working the cotton and herb so we can also offer a range that is simply printed and just a little bit stitched instead of the current 'quite expensive' hand painted collection. Will be mixing the design with french ticking stripes and linen tones.

As well as working on the site we are just in the middle of building a new 'paper store' that will be easier to use and you can see not only 'off the peg' ranges for reception stationery but also any vintage finds we think you may be interested in and any little special creations that we make (we are going to call this the 'bottom drawer').... so as you can see there will be a few little changes........

...right, I had better make a start.....
