Selina Lake's Outdoor Living Book Tour

What a fantastic sunny day for a garden party! Powder Blue the boutique home and garden store in Leicester was the setting for Selina's Outdoor Living book signing.

Last Saturday Powder Blue's garden was styled with beautiful vintage inspired finds and pop up shops ready for Selina's visit. Retro Sugar made the most yummy and adorable cakes with vintage swan and ballerina cake toppers. Knighton Flowers had a pop up shop and supplied cottage garden flowers for the event, the arrangements were stunning.

The Heart Vintage range was beautifully displayed inside the store, I loved the pretty ribbon ties on my plates against the dark painted wall - this has inspired me to paint my guest room a darker colour and display all my pretty plates with pastel ribbons.

It was lovely to see Selina, we chatted about growing veg, paint colours and vintage china, she wrote a lovely note in my copy of her book too. Looking forward to her Summer Fete in a couple of months. Her new book Selina Lake Outdoor Living is available to buy now.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Children's Drawings

I recently designed a set of three bespoke plates for a beautiful eight year old. I incorprated one of her drawings into the design - a bright pink butterfly, carefully coloured in - keeping in the lines of course. The design has inspired me to work on an alphabet children's range which I hope to launch in the next couple of months. All my designs can be personalised - so you can add your own children's drawings, making these a lovely keepsake for the future.

Bespoke Wedding

Off to a Summer Wedding? Heart Vintage bespoke plates make the perfect gift. Personalised with the names of your friends or family with the date of their wedding - I can even print a personal message on the back of the plate for you...or if you want something a little different why not have a photo of the happy couple.
