Following on from yesterday's post here are a few quick snapshots taken around Stockholm, the first series of images showcase just some of the beautiful textures & colours dotted around the city. I have so much to share with you from the beautiful architecture to the striking innovative window displays. Stay tuned this week for lots of Swedish inspiration!

I hope these images brighten up your day!

Fun in Stockholm!

Happy Monday everyone! I have just returned back from a very fun design trip to Stockholm with two talented designers Libby McMullin & Louise Tiler. We went in search of design inspiration & Swedish stockists! (For our own product ranges) We had such a wonderful time, my head is now buzzing with ideas & I can't wait to get started on some new collections! (Fingers crossed that we secure some product orders also!)

Stay tuned this week as I have so much inspiration to share with you!

The Talented Libby McMullin!

This afternoon is a special little one off post to congratulate the talented designer Libby McMullin (& lovely friend of mine) she is doing amazingly well & is currently exhibiting at the Home & Gift show in Harrogate. It's so great to hear that she has been snapped up by so many stockists. Libby is exceptionally gifted & a fabulous lady! Go Libby!

Libby McMullin - Progressive Greetings

Last week I visited the lovely Libby McMullin at Progressive Greetings. Libby is a very talented illustrator & designer who's personal style really makes her stand out from the crowd. Her stunning designs have a whimsical, folk & modern vintage feel; they are really wide appealing & truly timeless! I've always been a fan of Libby's style & we are now really good friends (I'm very lucky to have such talented designer friends!) It's been so lovely to watch Libby progress & flourish with a very successful first trade show! I am very proud of Libby, she really is one to watch! Below are a selection of snapshots from the show, her stand looked so beautiful!
You can connect with Libby on her Facebook page here, the designer has also just launched a innovative new website. Libby is also one of our esteemed contributors for The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design (the e-course).

Libby also designed & made this lovely necklace & ring that I received as a lovely gift!
