Behind the scenes… Isn’t this mesmerising?

Love seeing the process behind the products. Here is the Everything Robe being embroidered by the fabulous @stmawganembroideryco

These will be added to the website soon but drop me a line if you’re super keen and I will get one to you.

In the meantime I have a few with me in Falmouth @faloysterfest in Princess Pavilions all this weekend.

It’s here! - tomorrow I head to the Falmouth Oyster Festival for a four-day market in Princess Pavilion.

There’s a tonne of stuff going on, from famous foodies doing talks, to artist and chef demonstrations, music, food, the market - and of course the Oyster shucking (opening) contest 🦪 🔪

Spread between Events Square and Princess Pavilion, it’s set to be a busy one.

Head over to @faloysterfest for a full rundown of what’s going on.

And if you come down, pop in and say hi!

In a dark cave on a Cornish beach sits a carving made over a hundred years ago.

The tale goes that it was carved by a local artist who lost his lover to the sea when she was cut off while riding her horse.

Years later a carving of a horse was added by another artist.

The inscription reads:

“Mar not my face but let me be
Secure in this lone cavern by the sea
Let the wild waves around me roar
Kissing my lips for evermore.”

Beautiful isn’t it? I love that she is slightly smiling.

I introduced a second almost identical card to my collection, can you spot the difference?

‘in the ocean’ or ‘on the ocean’ 😄

It’s a little difference but after chatting to ladies at my Falmouth market I knew I had to add a second card.

Because maybe you met your sea sisters ‘on’ the ocean: sailing, or paddleboarding, or kayaking, or any other type of boating!

Which speaks more to you?
