The fantastic early May bank holiday weather has well and truly put me in the mood for summer, and I wanted to share some summery finds by way of inspiration for fresh and relaxed interiors…
First up is Holly Lasseter Designs http://www.hollylasseterdesigns.co.uk/ . Holly creates beautiful hand painted china, fabrics, tiles and home accessories from her Dorset studio. I love her appealing fresh and delicate designs, so reminiscent of an English summer. Each hand painted pattern for her wonderful hand made floral cushions is transposed on to high quality linen union, and the cushions are available in a variety of sizes and ground colours.
Here’s a selection of what most caught my eye:

The Garden Collection, for spring/ summer 2014. Holly hand paints all her original designs before digitally producing them on fine Oxford Linen, all production is undertaken in the UK
Fabrics for indoors and out
Royal Ascot is the place to be seen, so get noticed in a VV Rouleaux hat! Traditionally the go to place for ribbons, trimmings and hip haberdashery for interiors, VVR have ventured into milinery this season…

The Wealden Times is an online publication brimming with fantastic articles on interiors and fashion, as well as recipes and featured topics.
The Wealden Times Midsummer Fair 2014 will be held at Hole Park in Rolvenden, Kent TN17 4JB, from 5th – 7th June.
With hundreds of exhibitors for everything home and garden, craft, culinary and gardening demonstrations, and loads more, on a site bedecked with summer bunting in a quintessentially rural English setting, it could be a perfect day out!
