This isn’t an Oscar acceptance speech – but it does kind of feel like it. I am sure that to win an Oscar – is the culmination of a dream for that person, and for this to be actually happening – feels like a dream into reality for me… So, on with the ‘thanks’… First

One of my most recent projects was to create this vintage florals inspired, romantic bunting for some friends getting married.
