Lisa Levis’s (nee Stickley) designs have been a huge inspiration ever since my days at university. I love how shes mixes vintage inspired patterns with quirky touches "modern with a vintage flavour". Since launching her new brand Betty & Walter in 2013 I've been smitten with every collection each season.
B & W is in inspired by her Aunt Betty and Uncle Walter, which I think is just lovely. The mid century retro prints for the new 'Allotment' range are inspired by vintage cookbooks and Uncle Walter's love for growing his own veg. I just love how there's a story behind each print and pattern....and those product names, bloomin' fantastic! I especially find the photo-shoot snaps very inspirational, mixing the retro finds with each new collection.

After meeting the team back in the Summer at Selina Lake's handmade fete in Guildford I've been wanting to send the lovely ladies a personalised gift. The black & white spotty retro plate discovered in a local vintage store was crying out to be up-cycled with the B & W logo, with a hint of Heart Vintage of course. Here's the final design for you all to see - photographed in the lovely
B & W studio.
