|Hello! I’m back from the Turkish sun and boy was it amazing. Last night I was left dreaming about fresh fish and mountain views but hey ho, back to drizzly London it is. This post is late out as lovely Lauren over at Aspiring Kennedy has already posted the recipe but I’m sure my frustratingly…

|Photo reworked from Bonjour Tristesse I’m off on my hols to Turkey and I’m so excited I feel like a kid again. I haven’t actually been abroad since our honeymoon two years ago so I’m really looking forward to some sun, sea and plentiful mezzes. Things will be pretty quiet here at The Lovely Drawer…
print me a notebook
DIY
|I love print!…really? You can tell? I bought these plain recycled notebooks from Paperchase months ago, hoping to have a bit of fun with print. I essentially used the same technique as my DIY heart print tote so once again you’ll either need a speedball carving kit or a piece of rubber and carving tools.…

|You’ll probably never see me without nail polish on my finger nails but usually I’m not fussed about my toes. However, this is such an easy way to make your feet look pretty (and I’m no big fan of my feet…or feet in general for that matter) that it begs a try. People will marvel…

|Been trying to get round to posting this for ages…preferably before the summer was up! Here’s a very straightforward DIY invite where most of the work has already been done for you, which means they honestly don’t take very long at all. Be advised; they are not edible.

Parks, picnics and frozen desserts in abundance. *Busyness finally gave way to some time to rest and see my lovely Husband who somewhat lost out recently. It’s amazing how you can miss someone…

|You may remember me doing a guest post for the very lovely Lauren over at Aspiring Kennedy blog a little while ago. From now on I’ll be guest posting a recipe every month. Today’s recipe was a revelation for me. I’d never liked this boring old sponge until I tried this version at a friend’s tea party.…

|Well chaps, late as it may be, The Lovely Drawer has now made it’s way onto instagram. I’ve never had an aversion to it, just a very poor phone camera. It was a happy day a couple of weeks ago when I finally got a new phone. Nick showed me all it’s new, exciting tricks…

|Um, I’m wondering when I’ll wake up from this extended dream of a heat wave! I’m 100% loving that bare legs and sandals are on the menu everyday. Ok so the tubes are a glorified sweat fest and bed time leaves me groaning for an electric fan and wondering if sleeping outside on concrete is…
print supreme
Uncategorised
|After posting my last colour palette that included one of Freya Cumming’s beautiful screen prints, I realised her work deserved a whole post of it’s own. The Scottish based designer has had extensive training in print making which is clear from her striking prints. She manages to capture a sense of spontaneity with her materials…
