New Kantha Quilts

I recently unpacked a new selection of beautiful kantha quilts from India, and have loaded them into the Cush & Nooks shop. I absolutely love these quilts which are made from 100% cotton and lovingly hand-stitched with the traditional kantha running stitch. The lightweight cotton means they're perfect in the summer over a sheet, and in the cooler months just pop them over a quilt.

The sweet little polka dots are a more contemporary version of the quilt. I've also chosen some in a gorgeous ikat print, and the traditional fruit print in vibrant shades of yellow are pure joy! As well as bedspreads, the quilts make fabulous throws and tablecloths.

Thank you so much to the wonderful Florence Charvin of Fotographie by Florence for all the photos. And to my dear friend, and partner in crime, Dael Brady, who helped style and photo direct :)

Society Social - My Happy Place

Life is extremely busy when you're a working Mum, I know you can all relate. Juggling everything that motherhood brings with three beautiful, active kids, as well as running a business, and all the extras, well, it can be exhausting. Don't get me wrong, it's so rewarding, and I wouldn't change a thing. But there are times when I have to escape to my 'happy place'. I have several, and one of them is Society Social. Just five minutes exploring their website brings me joy! Beautiful, unique furniture, gorgeous colour and pattern, and always fabulous styling. Often a touch of gold too. Do you have a happy place?

Geometric Joy

The geometric craze is here to stay as far as I'm concerned - I love the bold, graphic shapes. I've made a couple of recent purchases (Geo Wall Hooks from Tea Pea, and The Night Playground Print from society6), which I've included below along with some other great examples of geometric joy...
