How fab are these! 😍. Created by the very talented Julie Cats - capturing every detail right down to the gold leaf in my hand - so clever!

She also went a step further and created a set for SplatLab.co.uk with my business partner Nathan from Asuek Artwork - look at how she’s replicated his mask!! Phenomenal!

Lastly one of me and hubby with his favourite jumper on (well, it’s my favourite jumper on him lol)❤️

These would make fantastic gifts and I think she should be taking commissions - what do you guys think?

Thank you my friend, this was so so thoughtful, they must have taken an age to do - please know I will cherish them 🙏❤️xx
