Where are you going on holiday this summer? We've left it really late and can't make up our minds where to go this year. We may just stay round here, enjoy the beautiful Espiguette beach 20 minutes away and make the most of all that this part of France has to offer (Montpellier, Nîmes, Avignon, Uzes,...). On the other hand, I quite fancy a week 'at home' with my family in Yorkshire, we'll see. How about you? Going anywhere nice???

Dinos, Bugs & Butterflies

Will you just take a look at those dinosaurs! Cute with a capital C!
Biome Lifestyle's handembroidered cushions for boys and girls are fun, colourful and eco-friendly, made under fair trade conditions in South Africa. 100% linen and cotton, sustainable and stylish, Biome Lifestyle " is a small company, trying to do the right thing". Looks spot on to me!

Jonna Saarinen

Yes, Summer's here at last!
Time to relax, enjoy the sun and visit
Selvedge's first Summer Fair

If you're lucky enough to be in or around London tomorrow, pop in and see Jonna Saarinen's work (she also happens to be sharing a stall with this talented lady, remember?).

Jonna Saarinen graduated from Central St Martins in 2009 and has just finished the first year of her Masters degree in Printed Textiles at the Royal College of Art in London. She was born in Turku, Finland, and much of her work is inspired by Finnish folklore, architecture and her childhood memories.

Screenprinting is her first love.

She is committed to creating sustainable, non-toxic products and is sponsored by Permaset

Jonna also enjoys making wooden jewellry, some of which will be on sale at Selvedge's Fair tomorrow.

Another one to look out for me thinks!
Have fun!
