Print & Biscuits...perfect

After having a quick scooch around the Guardians House & Home blog I came accross this wonderful lady and her wonderful cushions...

Nikki McWilliams was featured at the Top Drawer exhibition at Earls Court recently and after spotting these cushions I can see why!! Who can go wrong with print and biscuits combined! My favourite is the 'Tunnocks Teacake' cushion. All of cushions are hand printed which is what i love most. I want them all!! Simple is sometimes best...i must remeber this rule and keep repeating it. SIMPLE IS SOMETIMES BEST

(p.s. image to follow in a bit, blogger seems does not want to play at the moment)

a bit of inspiration for the new year

I have been doing a bit of scouting around and this company keeps popping up as a brand that i find really inspirational...'Mini Moderns'. Mini Moderns is a range of interior products that has been designed by Absolute Zero Degrees as an offshoot of their already very well known and successfull brand.

What appeals to me are the constant clean and fun designs that are incorporated into Mini Moderns collections, particularly newer collaborations with Rob Ryan. Mini Moderns say that their deigns are for 'Kidults' - says it all to me!

Look at the collections based on Whitby and the slighly older collection known as 'Folk Rock', my faves. The colourways are just gorgeous!

New Year...Fabulous exciting New Year

I hereby vow to make this year fabulous and exciting for Lillian's House!

With an exciting kick start to the year working on new collections in an area I have never dabbled in before, Lillian's House is feeling revived and refreshed ready to bring all sorts of new products and ideas to the table!

Keep popping in to see the blog and I will keep you updated as to what this year will entail...and what i can conjure up in my little attic studio!

This is what Lillians House have started with this year...think stamps, patchwork, 50's colourways and overall a simple and clean feel!!

Veggie Christmas Tree Delight!

Maybe my mind works in strange ways but i think sprouts are marvellous...and how better to appreciate them than on a christmas tree!

Find this 'Veggie Christmas Tree' in a brand new, and still un-named fruit and veggie shop which opened last weekend! The shop is situated on Milton Street, next door to 'Rapps Cafe' and 'The Kings Grill'. Stocking beautiful fresh local produce, who could resist showing it off in a rather fiestive way! I will never look at sprouts in the same way again...

Lillian' House @ ' For the Love of ' Vintage Fair in Saltburn

I thought id give you all a look at what happened at this lovely event in saltburn! Lillian's House was proud to be part of a fabulous vintage fair 'For the Love of'. Featuring delicious 'true' vintage stalls and lovely vintage inspired stalls it was a treasure trove of bits and pieces perfect for Christmas presents.

Here's a few snapshots of the Lillian's House stall for you to have a nosey at and hopefully enjoy...

Look out for the hand printed Christmas Gift Boxes! With a hand printed tag, string and tissue included, what a find for hassle free pressie wrapping. I'll certainly be using a few of these for family and friends this year, they will look beautuful under the christmas tree.

Miniature bird houses, pom poms and tiny arabian slippers adorned our Christmas tree this year.

Thankyou for all that came down to see 'Lillian's House'...and to all who adopted some goodies from us, i hope you enjoy them and they bring lots of festive cheer!!

A new venture

Welcome!

As this is only a new venture, I feel that it is only right to give you a little introduction to the hand printed world of Lillian's House.

All products are hand made, hand printed and lovingly designed for you to enjoy in your home or to enjoy giving to someone special.

This blog is designed to give you a taster of the new and interesting things that are going on in the attic studio where all of the tasty bits in Lillians House come from.
