Scenes from the Easter weekend in Wales. it only rained briefly and we caught a nice rainbow in the middle of it.
it was nice to come back home and find the apricot tree in full bloom.
the other highlights of last weekend summed up in two words: Doctor Who.

this sailor top dress was fun to make. it is Lumi's size of course, a special commission for Couverture.
they wanted Lumi's dress to be inspired by Rachel Comey's sailor dress (here is an easy tutorial
on how to make a sailor's collar).
a new Lewis accompanied Lumi but i didn't have time to take any pictures before they left..
the apricot tree is blooming and reminds us it is Spring despite the greyness and the clouds. talking about clouds, Alessandra will have some lovely new ones in her shop tomorrow, go and check it out!
and the picture of Lucien showing the boys how to play the keyboard makes me smile, so here it is!

a new favourite find from the charity shop, pressed flowers in a resin frame. it reminded me of Mary Delany's paper flower collages, seen here.
her works are exhibited at sir john Soane's museum at the moment.
ah, the first flower on our apricot tree
and Lewis waiting for a pair of trousers. he will be in the shop once decent, probably next Tuesday. thank you to those of you who visited the shop this week.
have a nice weekend x
