Country Living Article!

I got a lovely surprise today when I opened my post box to see the February issue of Country Living Magazine, featuring the article about our little creative co-operative! We hadn't been expecting it to be out until Tuesday, but maybe we've been sent a copy in advance.

Anyway, here it is - a great picture of Jane's barn studio, and that close-up of the scones, cream and jam, well, it's enough to make your mouth water!

As you will read when you see the article, Jane, Gertie, Angelica and myself will be exhibiting our work at the Country Living Spring Fair in London in March (more details to follow in later posts), so we are all busy making goodies to take up with us. Unfortunately Angelica broke her arm badly on 30th November and has not been able to do a stitch yet - here's hoping she will improve enough to get creating again, as the frustration is driving her potty!
Needless to say we are all getting together on Tuesday to celebrate the article with a tea party!

Not got time to do much more of a post today, but a huge thank you to Brent the photographer who made the whole photo shoot day such fun, and also to Ruth who wrote the piece, and came all the way down from London on the train to interview us and got plied with cake and non-stop chatter from the four of us! If it isn't out in the shops yet, it soon will be, so enjoy!

  10. Hi, I have only recently discovered your blog, and I love it! We live in the south of the south island of NZ, and have a wee holiday cottage at Riverton which is by the sea a little further south. I get the English Country living every month, but ours comes much later than yours! how tantalising to have a glimpse of the article about you and then have to wait another month!!! Just love your wee shop and the beautiful things you create.

  24. I live in the U.S. and Country Living UK is absolutely my very most favorite magazine (also Selvedge). I subscribe to it and am looking forward to getting this month's copy, but so enjoyed the little peek I got by stumbling upon your wonderful blog. I am a Julie Whitmore fan, and have acquired a couple of her pieces. I'll check back ofter!

  26. Just read your article in Country Living.... your set up looks really lovely.
    I like the idea of getting together with cake/scones!
    Brent is good isn't he, we had him two years ago to photograph our house for Country Homes and Interiors.

  27. Congratulations Christine...I haven't bought a CL mag for well over a year (or two?) - various reasons, but made an exception today, as I knew you'd be inside! I'm looking forward to settling down in a minute and to read it in full.
    Well done you having a stall at the Spring Fair...very brave of you...I know all the visitors will love you(!) and your wares.
    Happy days to you,
    Niki x

  32. I've just recently discovered your blog and just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading through your posts. We will be down on The Lizard Peninsular in the summer and feel a trip on the ferry over to The Rosesland might be necessary. Will be back for more visits.

  34. Hi Christine

    Better late than never - I've only just got round to commenting on the super article. It was a lovely unexpected treat to find it in the pages of CL!

    Hope all's well for the CL Fair. Will you be able to get up to DH for our Day in April? Do hope so.

  35. Wonderful and CONGRATS to you all. I won't receive my copy until the end of the month here in the USA (sometimes the beginning of the next month). I hope this helps business for you.

    Sending happy thoughts across the pond,
