Something to look forward to perhaps.

WHAT’S
KEEPING MY SPIRITS UP
|
|
|
|
SPARKLY THINGS
Jewellery can be imbued
with so much – love, friendship, memory, moments. I still remember
getting a tiny amethyst ring from my mum for my 10th birthday –
my first ‘proper’ piece of jewellery. This month, I’m loving Kate Moss’s
collection for Messika (yes, the super had a big hand in
the design as well as modelling them). Just look at those sparkly
danglers. They would cheer anyone up on a grizzly lockdown
day.

THE CROWN
It’s back and now with
Diana installed, it feels that much closer to home and that much more
thrilling (if slightly voyeuristic). This is the royal era I grew up
with and I’m going to be watching with an eagle eye, a batwing jumper
and a Corgi on my lap. Love or loathe them, our royals have never
failed to capture our imagination. If you still can’t get
enough, there’s been a recent spate of royal books published. We pick the best. Image:

ORDERING MY YULETIDE
FEAST
In the name of
organisation, get your Christmas nosh order in early. For impeccably
and ethically sourced meat (and some delicious cheat dishes), Farmison is
an award-winning online butcher with superb turkeys, as well as
goose, gammon, beef and venison. For veggies, I could handle Riverford’s organic
nut roast extravaganza. And for foodie gift ideas, you
can’t beat hampers personally
curated and stuffed full of your favourite
treats.

I’ve pressed pause on hygge and Nordic calm – it’s
time for noise and colour. I want a rich stew
and truffle mash with friends around Bonadea’s claret and
bronze table setting and afterwards, to dance wildly to 80s hits. As
the evening ends, we’ll gather under David Hunt Lighting’s
Liberty 6 light, inspired by a disco glitter ball, and smooch to Nights
In White Satin. Have a funky, fun-filled November and never let
the party stop.

It all began when… I was in a shop trying to buy two cups and
saucers for my mum’s birthday. I wanted them to convey loving that
time of sitting together and talking – but I couldn’t find anything
that felt right, and I saw an opportunity.
One of my very favourite
sights… is three generations of
women from one family in one of our shops, all excited
about which patterns they are collecting.
What I love most about my
job is… meeting my customers,
it’s often emotional and we tell our life stories, because that’s
what you do when you hold a cup and saucer.
Over Christmas I’ll be
using… our Mince Pie plate – inspired by my
absolute love for them.

Guest podcast with Emma Bridgewater here.
