Happy November!
Embracing the many joys of autumn with its myriad of earthy colours and texture before we descend into the madness of Christmas.
You’ll find me curling up with a spiced hot chocolate after a bike ride to read the autumn issue of Simply Scandi ( ), growing my own pumpkin (no plural- just the one 😂), making ginger, chilli, roast squash and coconut soup, foraging in the garden to make a vibrant autumn wreath for the back door and adding some colourful foliage above for the feel of entering an autumn forest when we return home. 🍂💛

Over the past few years I have had the privilege of helping Amelia Magpie Stories | Amelia Sutherland | Floral Artist restore a beautiful old Georgian forge into a family home that perfectly blends form and function. We share a passion for natural materials, foraged foliage, vintage pieces and timeless interiors with stories to tell.

It has been a total joy to source pieces from some of my favourite vintage sellers including Sharon Dallas theboulein Lesley Austin Manningtree Emporium and Marlesford Mill for this special home. A muted autumnal palette of greens, ochre and plum weaves its way through each room, the colours and textures blending seamlessly with Amelia’s beloved surrounding countryside.

It has been wonderful to share the results in this feature I styled and wrote for Homes & Antiques Magazine magazine November issue, beautifully shot by Brent Darby

Amelia is a talented floral designer and her work is showcased throughout her home, adding texture, colour and interest - from a giant floral ‘cloud’ in the hallway to a beautiful star-inspired dried piece above the bed in the master bedroom. Give her a follow over on Magpie Stories | Amelia Sutherland | Floral Artist to see more of her work.

Grab the Nov issue of Homes and Antiques magazine for more images and the full feature. 🍂💛

Happy Autumn Equinox/ Mabon!
As we bid farewell to summer and settle into the quieter and slower rhythm of autumn, we sit mid-way between the long and sunshine-filled days of the summer solstice and the short days and darkness of the winter solstice. A time for reflection and pause. Shedding what no longer serves us, as the trees shed their leaves. A time for leaf-scrunching, gathering with like-minded souls and foraging.
I love summer but autumn is definitely my favourite season in terms of colour and texture. Our dining room has an autumn feel year round.
I am so excited to be collaborating with the lovely Maria Elia a hugely talented chef, to bring you an evening of autumnal connection and celebration. Join us in the black barn in the heart of the Suffolk countryside for ‘An Enchanted Forest Feast’ - an immersive seasonal supper on Thurs 8th Oct. Dine by fairy and candle light in our indoor forest exploring the tastes and flavours of autumn. Thank you so much to all who have booked to join us, last few tickets available via link in bio. 🍂💛

Massive congratulations to my lovely friend Lucy BRESIL | slow fashion handbags and accessories who has launched a gorgeous range of beautifully designed handbags and accessories.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that we were sitting around a table with a lovely group of women at a Kinship Studio Sessions talking business dreams and she shared that she would one day love to have her own business selling her designs. After some seriously hard work, leaps of faith, courage, determination and a bucket load of talent- here it is!

Such a fun evening at Frankie's Hadleigh on Thursday showcasing the range of beautiful bags, wallets and super cute knitted hood scarves. Definitely adding the sling bag (image 7) to my Christmas list!

A great gang of talented creatives supporting Lucy- lovely to meet you DIZZY Aradia Crockett Stylist riapilkington Louise Osman

Loved this Suffolk pink, coral and yellow colour combo in Aldeburgh yesterday where I spent a brilliant morning talking all things creative with talented interior designer Alexandra Langdon | Interior Designer for her podcast The Insider.

Demystifying interior design and exploring the process and pathways with fellow designers, it is always a fascinating listen and I was honoured to be invited on the show. Big thanks to super producer Marie Talbot who is passionate about helping creatives share their work and stories via podcasting. Stay tuned to listen to our episode soon!

After a delicious lunch whipped up by Alexandra Langdon | Interior Designer , Marie Talbot and I had a lovely mooch around the indies of Aldeburgh followed by a Two Magpies Bakery hot chocolate on the beach under big rain-cloud filled Suffolk skies.

I loved the VM at Norfolk Natural Living which beautifully blended vintage finds and dried flora with their wonderful natural products. Stunning artworks filled the windows of Thompson's Gallery and I loved seeing all the gorgeous sample fabrics hanging in the garden studio of Alexandra Langdon | Interior Designer where we recorded the podcast episode.
Creativity, collaboration and community… my kind of day and the subject of our podcast episode -stay tuned! X
