Welcome lovely people to 2012. Never enough hours in the day, but I have really missed the Blog, so as part of a whole list of new years resolutions, one of them is to get back into my Blog. A jolly fine excuse to witter on about, and show you images of,
all the things that make me smile. These lovely white porcelain egg boxes arrived just before Christmas and flew. Just a witty take on the common card box egg box, but such a fun addition to your kitchen………………..xx
Yippee! The new website for Lilac Coast is now open for business. Such a huge thank you to Dave at Project24 Design who designed the website for me. I am really chuffed with how it has turned out. Happy shopping! xx

I love these ‘Love’ letters in a stacked design with heart frame. I have a photo of me and my son when he was a baby – such a happy little chappy! A brilliant gift idea for newly weds, friends or Mother’s Day…
Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. I love these vintage style wooden ‘Love’ letter hooks in distressed white. They have a lovely little heart frame where you can put a photo of a loved one which is a great way of personalising your gift or in the photo shown I have put some vintage style floral fabric. Oh so pretty!
Woolly mouse hat for kids! These hats have just arrived and they are just delightful. The other designs are a Reindeer, Lions, Monkey and Panda, with a rather lovely pink pig, donkey and cat hat designs to follow. They are hand made in Nepal and are Fair Trade. Just perfect for wrapping up your little ones as winter draws in…
Well here in Devon it feels like Autumn is well and truly here!! Lots of gorgeous new things for the Autumn/Winter season are arriving and some of my favourites are these spotty jersey scarves in green spot, navy spot, charcoal spot and plum spot.
They have the cutest fingerless gloves that match. Such pretty colours and wonderfully soft for wrapping up. They are available now on my shop at www.notonthehighstreet.com/lilaccoast
Love key hooks in cream
The ‘Home’ key hooks sold like hot cakes so I have introduced the new ‘Love’ themed key hooks. They’re just so pretty. The perfect gift for a loved one, a wedding gift or your country themed home…
Just back from a lovely family holiday in Cornwall. We stayed in a National Trust Cottage in Port Quin which has the most amazing sea and coastal views… my favourite place in the world. The kitchen had been painted in Oval Room Blue from Farrow & Ball which with the lovely Cornish light just looked beautiful. Trying to figure what I can paint at ‘Home’ in this lovely blue colour. Farrow & Ball paints really are the best colours…
Look at my sweetpeas in my garden… I am so proud of them! I grew them from seed on my studio windowsill and look at them now – an explosion of lovelyness in every pastel hue! They are the ‘Old Fashioned’ sweet peas which have the most gorgeous scent and are my perfect ‘Country Cottage’ summer flower. They look lovely in old glass vases around the home.
I have 3 raised beds in my garden which I just love – I just chuck the seeds in and hope for the best (a green house is on my wish list!) and it has been brilliant this summer. We have had peas, sugar snap peas, green and purple beans, various types of runner beans, beetroot, radishes, salad leaves, strawberries, raspberries, sungold tomatoes, courgettes, spring onions and cut flowers for the cottage like sunflowers, sweet peas and cosmos. Amazing what you can grow yourself…
My Summer Sale has just started! Check out lots of pretty things on www.notonthehighstreet.com/lilaccoast – my favourite bargain is this lovely solid silver charm bracelet with dragonfly and hearts…
