Summer did, finally, arrive and with it the need to look cool and feel fab! Enter the kaftan, whether in silk or cotton, plain or patterned it is just the best when it comes to keeping cool. Summer dresses in organic cotton are just the prettiest thing – and cotton PJ’s in fabulous prints complete the line up. It goes without saying that if you are packing for the hols then a pashmina is a must – so pop in and say hello and see what we have to make your summer cool, colourful and stylish.
A reminder of dates going forward.
Sadly I will not be in Cirencester this Saturday 29th June as previously published but will be at:
The Cotswold Show in Cirencester 6th/7th July
Marlborough College Summer School Mondays and Friday 12/15th July,19th/22nd July, 26th/29th July, 2nd/5th August.
Corn Hall Cirencester Saturday 13th July, Saturday 3rd August, Saturday 24th August.
Wiltshire Game & Country Fair 10th/11th August.

Where has the year gone – it seems an age since I was in India. However here we are, and with holidays on the horizon I have cotton dresses, jackets and kaftans ready to pop into your suitcase – the sun is out there somewhere I know!
As ever the shop is open Tuesday to Saturday but I am open this Sunday 5th May too as it is a Bank Holiday weekend.
Here is where I will be for the next few weeks – the shop will be open as usual.
Saturday 4th May The Corn Hall Cirencester.
Just a reminder that on Wednesday 8th May our fabulous plant sale is on in the Shambles so do come along and see all of the beautiful plants on offer – I know I will be buying some as I do every year.
Hoping to be back in Cirencester on 25th May – awaiting confirmation. Just heard, no room so will be in Saturday 1st June, hope to see you there.
Saturday 1st June I will be in Cirencester and again on Saturday 29th June.Update I will not be in Cirencester 29th June – apologies.
6th & 7th July I will be at the Cotswold Show – I always really enjoy this event, hope the weather Gods are kind!

Here are some photos from my last trip – a little sprinkle of warmth, fragrance and colour.

Breaking news – on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week as well as the shop being open as usual, I will be in Bay 20 in the Shambles with a SALE! I almost never do this but I have new stock coming and some lovely items that are surplus, plus some with tiny flaws which I won’t sell in the shop but which are a real bargain! I would also like to have my dining room back, currently full of boxes! – so whether you are looking for an embroidered shawl, a cosy blanket, a throw, a silk scarf – or even a kaftan, pop by and grab a bargain.

Well those three weeks went by in a flash, but it was a wonderful trip. Catching up with my suppliers, sourcing new and gorgeous things and bringing some home in my suitcase (just the small things!) – I am still processing it all and being grateful to have been able to see such amazing things and meet so many delightful people, to all of them I am so grateful.
Special mention to our driver and very good friend Joshy who always, always keeps us safe, takes us on adventures and is the best companion, and to his wife Seena who makes my rather fabulous newspaper bags so precisely and with such patience.
I have organic cotton dresses, dressing gowns, hand block printed napkins and runners, reversible jackets, cotton pyjamas and gorgeous kaftans too so come and say hello.
