Oh my days, they've started! And boom, what a start 🙂 It's always been my dream to have interiors and food events, DIY and craft workshops, and various pop ups here at home, a dream which drove us at the very start of this challenging build / renovation and has kept us going all the...

Inspo: Ordering My Ellie Cashman Fabric
Gawd, I've been rubbish at writing up renovation updates recently, there's simply been too much going on.

Those of you who follow us on Instagram will have seen me banging on about my most recent food obsession - Iceland's frozen seafood sauces. Damn, they are good.
