February warmth

The snow drops are starting to come up, whoop, whoop, that start of some growth after the cold winter. In July we moved to our new house and I’m so excited about seeing how the garden will evolve in the coming months. In our old garden I knew all the plants and what they did at different times of the year, but this garden is new to me. Will there be daffodils, tulips or perhaps more exotic bulbs, only time will tell. Talking of spring greens, below is February Homes & Gardens featuring our Birds around Britain print.

Country Living July 09

Way back in January, Caroline from Country Living asked if we’d like to show our ‘Birds and Trees around Britain’ prints in an eco homeware feature for their July issue. Yes, they really do work that far ahead and what a long wait it has been, but we’re chuffed with the results.

Everything in this Victorian house is green in some way or another, be it recycled, salvaged, British made, sustainably sourced, the list goes on. If you’re that way inclined it is worth a peek.

Wayne Hemingway

We’ve got a lot of time for Wayne and not just because he selected our prints as one of only a handful of his favourite eco homewares. Wow-wee! Oh yes, the wonderful Observer newspaper dedicated a whole magazine to all things lovely and green, including Daryl Hannah (actress, turned eco warrior), David Attenburgh, Ben Okri da di da… and there were we, on page 54, rubbing shoulders with the great and the good (albeit accidently). What a lovely Sunday morning surprise!
