Bloggers That Brunch
Well, nearly every one of my guests may have already blogged about this event but now I might just join in. Two Saturdays ago I hosted a little get together for some London bloggers over brunch. There was obviously A LOT of food, litres of juice and I think we all came away inspired and…

Read MoreStyling the seasons -November
A new month has arrived so here goes the next in my series for Styling The Seasons started by the talented Katy and Lottie at Apartment Therapy and Lotts and Lots. I decided to style one of our shelves with warm, cosy hues, whilst trying to hold on to some of the freshness I love.…
Read Moresomething for your screen
Happy end of the week! Boy I’m glad it’s the weekend and I may at least not be working for most of it! Things have been a bit light over here on the blog but balancing everything that’s been going on in October has been less than seamless. There have been tears. Lots of exciting…
Read Morepretty not scary
sequin polka dot pumpkins // succulent planted pumpkins // pumpkin candles // copper striped pumpkins You may notice that my blog doesn’t become orange, black and scary approaching the end of October. That’s because as a Christian I don’t celebrate Halloween and feel like I’d be less than authentic / a contradiction to myself if I was…
Read Morewake up & smell the roses
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a workshop at sofa.com. I picked flower arranging with Daisy Doodle Dandy because the idea of walking away with an arranged bouquet of blooms sounded very inviting indeed. They run so many other creative workshops as well from up-cycling to screen printing to pinata making that there’s…
Read Morea better breakfast
Yes, this is a post all about breakfast. If you know me even just a little bit that may not surprise you at all. Man I’m so predictable! Well I’ve always loved breakfast and when my alarm would go off each day, embarrassingly / worryingly breakfast was what helped me prize myself from my warm…
Read MoreOverwhelmed much?
I don’t often get overly personal in this space and really I don’t often go into details about my freelance work either. There have been many ups and downs since spreading my wings and going it alone, somewhat like a hormonal pregnant lady watching a rom com. The short response is I love it!…But the longer response would…
Read MoreLaura Ashley: Handmade Christmas
Photos by the Laura Ashley team You may have seen by my instaspamming that I was invited to join some other lovely bloggers at Laura Ashley’s Handmade Christmas a week ago. The event was held at Homemade London, a short walk from Marble Arch and was the perfect venue for such an extravaganza. It was pretty surreal…
Read Moreroll up, roll up
Hello! Hope you all had lovely weekends. I bring you something nice for a bleak Monday like today. Remember these DIY tube necklaces I made for you about a month ago? Well if you’re the kind of person that enthusiastically pins DIYs all day long but never actually gets round to making them then now there are some…
Read Morea nod to the british seaside
Here’s some hearty grub for this blanket inducing weather. Every one knows Britain for it’s fish and chips by the sea and whilst great every now and again, I’ve created a healthier version with much less grease but no less flavour. This meal is so satisfying and quinoa is a great source of protein. I…
Read Morestyling the seasons – october
Happy October! Here’s my Styling The Seasons contribution for this month. As I said before, I’ve got to the stage where I’m ready for Autumn in full pelt now. Wading through leaves, hot teas, cosy scarves and donning a blanket when reading all sound rather appealing right now. I wish the weather would catch up with the…

Read Moreplant it pretty
Sometimes DIY projects take a long time to make it onto this space. I thought this up ages ago but only managed to make it a month ago on holiday and I’m only getting round to posting it now! Everyone loves a hanging planter these days, so here’s a rope inspired version complete with colour blocking effect.…
Read Morean autumnal soiree
So for the first year in a long time I’m embracing Autumn. Maybe it’s something to do with not having been on a soaked holiday that’s made the transition a lot easier, I’m not sure. Now I’m just thinking ‘hurry up, get a bit colder so I can get my coats out again.’ Anything in…
Read MoreLaura Ashley guest DIY post
So after such a lovely introduction on the Laura Ashley blog as their Blogger Crush for September, I now get to share a DIY tutorial I worked on for their ‘Make & Do’ category as well. *Disclaimer my old friends spray paint is well and truly involved. Learn how to make this show stopper cake stand…
Read Morediy neck candy
Yes people! I finally have a new DIY for you! I’m so sorry for such a canyon sized gap between this and the last one. It certainly wasn’t intentional but design work very much got in the way. Actually ‘got in the way’ makes it sound like an unwanted obstacle but I’ve been very thankful…

I found out that I won the room makeover challenge, hooray! You may remember the print I made for it and now you can buy it from my Etsy shop, double hooray! If you fancy adorning your walls with this inky number then you can find it right here. A little note to say a change…
Read Moreanother anniversary
I don’t often get super personal over here at The Lovely Drawer but I had to mention it was our Wedding Anniversary. 3 years ago that fresh faced pair was us! People say hasn’t it whizzed by but actually it seems like ages ago! That’s not to say it’s been in any way a drag, let’s just…
