I was so excited that Easter was sunny - it seemed very odd to follow my chocolate egg with an ice lolly! I hope that you had similar weather and let’s hope for a roasting Royal wedding weekend!

Last week was very busy indeed and saw lots of my lovely stockists being topped up for the start of the summer.

A wide range of designs including large vases and jugs were dropped off at the lovely Newlyn art gallery

and finally the online Sujiivana has gained an exclusive beach huts range. This line is only available online from myself directly and from this lovely site.

It was a pleasure to hand deliver in the far west this weekend, I even had a chance to pop in to Trereife near Penzance for their Craft and Food Fair. The house was featured on Channel 4’s ‘Country House Rescue’ and the family had really worked hard to put on a great event. I was very tempted by the crafts but ultimately can never resist the plant stall so I was busy potting yesterday.

To top of this busy week I also finished a new commission of chickens, in fact I was so pleased with this new, brighter and cheerier set of hens that I have decided to replace my old range with these. (Further images coming soon!) There are 6 types in all and they are more varied and exotic, it seemed apt to change the range at this time of the year with lots of Easter chicks being hatched.

Right, I must go and start the final batches of Royal mugs so that they are ready in time for the big day! … I just need to make my union jack bunting and cucumber sandwiches on Thursday and I am definitely ready to celebrate!
