I saw this cheery Manchester town house on Apartment Therapy recently. It’s owned by Sophie and Nick who live there with their young children Ivy and Sylvie – and Winifred the cat. It’s a masterclass in dressing your home if your interior tastes are a mismatch with your bricks and mortar. This is a Victorian [...]
Yorkshire-based designer Caroline Pratt launched her new collection of screen prints, cards and tea towels this month. Printmaker and surface pattern designer Caroline, who works from her studio in Leeds, is inspired by vintage designs and her country roots. She fell in love with the work of 1950s textile designers 10 years ago while at university, [...]
I’ve seen quite a few DIY cake stands around the internet with various items used as the base – glasses, vases, candlesticks, you name it! For my version I went for cut glass and used a plate and dessert glass both picked up in charity shops for a few quid. I decided to give my [...]

Kitty & Dulcie first hit the wedding scene towards the end of 2011, offering something pretty new to brides – a set of stylish dresses all under £400. You can re-read my blog about the launch if you like. Well 18 months on and I’m pleased to say they’re back with their second collection, called ‘Country Set’, [...]

It has all of the above and then some. Even its title, Women of Steel, packs a punch. Set in Sheffield, it [...]
Standard issue wedding fairs can be a bit bland, but later this month there is an event in Yorkshire promising to be a little different. Apart from the fact the backdrop is the stunning Ripon Cathedral, it will have live music, hen party workshops and a tea room. Plus, it is raising money for a very [...]
