june joybringers...

like most, I've been preparing for summer since October hit. in my head I am drinking straight Aperol and conjuring up strange new cutlery configurations on a table poised for a long summer evening with friends- possibly in a kaftan.

june is here and it'll be a little while longer until this dream comes true. but for now, here are some bits and pieces to get excited for... 

 

LOU LOU LA DUNE

Alice in Wonderland meets Mrs. Dalloway is the best way to describe the table trinkets of the amazing Lou Lou La Dune. what I mean by that is; dreamy with a little edge. perk up your picnic with these scalloped, floral-print numbers. @loulouladune

YARN HOME

there's a reason why the golden fleece was so elusive; the perfect rug is kind of hard to find. the ladies at Yarn Home have come close with their curated edit of vintage rugs which are gorgeous, one-offs for any room. yarnhome.co.uk

ALICE PALMER & CO.

throw some shade with Alice Palmer's bespoke lampshade covers. pleated, printed, puckered...she does it all. Alice will create a bespoke size and fit if you have a certain light in mind. alicepalmer.co

LA BASKETRY

founder Tabara grew-up weaving baskets, honing her skills watching artisans in Senegal. this incredible tradition can be felt in the detail and diligence poured into each piece. as the mercury rises, we'll be cooling down with her handwoven fanslabasketry.com

NOA WEINTRAUB

more works of art than ceramics, Noa's intricate pieces reference traditionally ladylike past-times; lace-making, flower-arranging and cake-baking. her flower bouquets are bloomin' brilliant. noaweintraub.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TESS NEWALL

no one can dream-up pure romance quite like Tess. her pastel palettes and Bloomsbury-inspired motifs are like ice-cream on a summer's day i.e. sheer bliss. look out for her upcoming collection for The New Craftsman featuring this blue-hued beauty, the Ink Drop lampshade. and before you ask, the brilliant bobbin lampstand is by her husband Alfred Newall. what a duo.
