    Box of Delights
    A little while ago, I was commissioned by Plum & Ashby to illustrate their limited edition Mother’s Day gift set. As a company focused on natural products and sustainability, the idea was that the box would have a life long after the glass bottles inside were empty - a place for your ribbon stash, or colouring pencil collection perhaps? Mine currently live in a Swiss chocolate box. Using a muted palette that nods to the beautiful paintings of Winifred Nicholson who was company founder Freya’s grandmother, the box has been beautifully styled & photographed here by Twig Hutchinson & Emma Lee.
    You can buy the limited edition set from Plum & Ashby while stocks last or click here for a chance to WIN one in Plum & Ashby’s Mother’s Day competition (closes 9 March 2021)

    The Art of Great Dixter Auction

    Great Dixter is holding an auction to raise funds to support its work in the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic and the dire impact this has had on the organisation. Artists with a strong connection to Great Dixter including Anya Gallaccio and Howard Hodgkin have donated pieces and Caroline has given a new Meadow Drawing made in August this year.

    All winning bids will help Dixter continue to look after a unique house and garden which provides exceptional horticultural training in a place that cares about plants and people.

    Bidding begins on Friday 4th September 2020, 8am (UK time) and ends on Sunday 13th September 2020, 8pm (UK time) - find a link to the auction site here
