The photography leaves you wanting for more and the writing is first class.
Kelly Swallow Patchwork Chairs - I love these. We interviewed Kelly Swallow a while back (check out our interview here) on her amazing re-use, re-cycled and re-loved old chairs! Stunning textiles, my favourite is the Queen Anne Mangle, made from Hungarian Linen Mangle Cloth. Her imagination knows no bounds and they are stunning.

www.theselby.com - quirky, crazy, weird, odd, but definitely a design must see. Todd Selby is a portrait photographer and on this website he offers an insider’s view of creative individuals from all ll walks of life and snaps them in their personal space. I go back to this again and again!
Aaronson Noon - a leading glass studio in West London. The products are designed by Adam Aaronson, one of the UK’s leading glass artist’s. From lamps, to handles, finials to vases, the range is stunningly beautiful. I was lucky enough to get a private demonstration this year and I can still remember the hot furnaces and the sheer hard work to lift some of those very large lamps out of the ovens! They do glass blowing demonstrations as well as workshops for beginners.
Fallow Fields - a hotel, restaurant and wedding venue. This link is here because they do amazing food with the vegetables from their own Potager! So how could they not be included?! Anthony the owner is also keen on sustainably rearing his Tamworth Pigs and his Dexter cows! Lovely gardens, orchard, Potager and I just like his philosophy. Plus they are a lovely family!
