Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a great week?

May is flying by but what a joy it is to be surrounded by spring sunshine amidst the juggle; with cow parsley and dandelions dancing around the verges, blossom, lilac, and the first of the rose buds appearing with high hopes for the summer ahead. Apparently it’s been the driest Spring so far in 30 years, which is definitely concerning so we want to welcome some rain, but sunshine really does make a positive difference to the every day doesn’t it?

This week I’m sharing 5 things that are on my mind or I’ve seen on my sartorial travels, round up some ‘belters’ in the belt department, and share answers to some Ask Me Anything questions…

Wishing you a very happy weekend.

Love,
Willow

5 Things

1. Botanical Drawing Day

Last week I attended a botanical drawing class at illustrator extraordinaire, Matthew Rice’s home, Ham Court in Bampton, Oxfordshire. It was both utterly wonderful and an important reminder to take the time to stop and be creative and challenge oneself with different creative pursuits. Of course, lovely fellow students, a delicious lunch and a walk around Matthew’s incredibly beautiful garden helped make it heavenly too!

For more courses with Matthew visit here and follow @matthewricewatercolours and @ham_court_bampton.

A beautiful spring day at Ham Court learning how to draw botanicals and soak up some garden inspiration too...

2. Another fashion collab launches today!
