About the Poppy cushion…

Printed onto softly textured linen/cotton cloth; the perfect compliment for the hand painted design.

Each cushion is signed and numbered, meaning you know you are getting an original bluebellgray limited edition piece. Every cushion comes with a luxury feather pad insert.

Looks great co-ordinated with plain coloured cushions or for those that love pattern mix with other bluebellgray florals for a fantastic
eclectic mix. Backed with a carefully chosen colour of beautiful linen union cloth.

Features

Dimensions: 45cm x 45cm

Please note as each cushion is handmade the dimensions may vary very fractionally. The backing cloth colour may vary between cushions. Dry clean only.

A limited Edition design.

Well summer’s nearly over and to be honest I never much noticed it had arrived!  But let’s make the most of the last few weeks by using the garden to its full potential.  Whether you have a lawn the size of a postage stamp or acres of grass outside, with a bit of careful planning and clever design we can all have a peaceful haven outdoors…

I can’t stress enough how lighting can make such a difference in your garden.  From candles to string lights… get some now!

Throws are a garden necessity in the UK with our ever-changing weather!!

I can’t quite put my finger on why I am attracted to this clock, below, as I tend to favour a more modern look.  I can just picture this featuring on the set of an old movie or maybe an early episode of Coronation Street!  It reminds me of the old storage tins my grandma used to keep in her kitchen cupboards.  I find it interesting to looking at old product labels.

Quality often comes with a price and the luxury goods featured on couturelab.com are no exception.  Founder Carmen Busquets searches the world for unique, hard-to-find pieces, many of which are painstakingly handcrafted.  Carmen is also co-founder of Net-a-porter.com, so she knows a thing or two about luxury!

I’ve posted some of my favourite home accessories below:

I wanted to make couturelab.com our Shop of the Week mainly because the company supports fair trade and also ’gives back’ by donating to charity. 

It’s all about the stories behind each product- customers can not only learn about the heritage but also fall in love and own a piece of it… what could be more fabulous?!

As we’re on the subject of illustration and art, I thought it would be appropriate to name this cute children’s accessories boutique our Shop of the Week. 

Children’s accessories are so delightful and fun… they are probably the best audience to design for as you can really go to town in terms of creativity.
