Workshop fun at No Chintz
Upstairs crafting room at No Chintz Willoughby
Basket of goodies
Here are some of the images from the recent workshop held at No Chintz to construct a handmade apron… it was a really lovely morning, and you can see how inspiring the environment is – I wish my craft space looked like this (alas, I’m still doing all my crafting at the kitchen table or in the living room… maybe one day I’ll have my own craft space).
The next one’s coming up on Wednesday 31 March, and we’ll be making a tea and egg cosy. For bookings, please contact No Chintz. Future dates are listed here.

I have a little dream

No Chintz caravan
…and it looks something like this.
Ages ago I read an article in UK Vogue profiling women who kept vintage caravans, and why. It showed detailed shots of all the interiors, which were just gorgeous and romantic and a bit like grown-up dolls’ houses.
I’ve often thought of buying one and keep my eyes open still, on the lookout. I quite like the rounded 50s chrome style. Its purpose would be to provide a writing room and my own little getaway.
Don’t you just love this caravan, taken from the No Chintz catalogue and reproduced here in Vogue? One day she will be mine!
