I have been away from a computer and the big world wide web for the past 2 months while i have been right up in the Scottish Highlands around Inverness making a feature film. Its the most beautiful place in the world. i cant wait to take the wife back on a holiday.

a little thank you.....

Vintage Crockery Club

2010-03-19T12:16:00.005Z

Speaking of my wedding, we collected lots of vintage crockery & had a traditional english picnic style wedding on the Suffolk coast. We got lots of enquiries after the wedding about the crockery so we have decided to hire it out. We put this little website together.

Brussels et Bruges

2010-02-24T10:26:00.004Z

When me and my wife got married last summer we were given Eurostar vouchers and a Moleskine City book for paris as a wedding gift. We got the hint about where to go but decided against it and to venture to a new city that neither of us have travelled to before. Ellen and I actually met whilst both living in France so we decided to give it a miss and head for Belgium instead.

Brussels and Bruges are both very charming and delicate looking cities. Bruges won the day for me though, it would be impossible to reside on a ugly looking street and not live in a pretty house.

These tapes come in a palette of soft powder colours with a few textured polka dots and stripes.

Just got back from a mini break to Berlin visiting my beautiful friend Catriona who just moved there with her boyfriend Daniele. What a city.... its very inspiring. can not wait to go back. if nothing else for the cheap rents for studio space.

2008-09-11T16:34:00.003+01:00

again limited numbers

what i love about my concession at Topshop is that i can work in small number so they usually come in batches of 10 or 20 all depending on what vintage and deadstock buttons i manage to pick up. So every ellisborough piece is practically a 1, 10 and at most a 20 off....das is good yarrrrrrrr?

new designs in Toppshoppy right now....

2008-09-10T23:05:00.002+01:00

good morning miss

Everything over in ellisborough is tres exciting. The summer collection is having its final buttons tweaked as we speak. You can get the first pieces from Topshop NOW and will be introducing new pieces every month.

Also new stockists will be taking the new collection and the details of how and where coming soon.

A super exciting project is in its final stages in America, as soon as its confirmed ill spill the beans.
