Look what I have!
Back in September last year, I blogged about this amazing London papercut print from Paris based Familie Summerbelle in this post. I've always been a big admirer of Julie's work and couldn't believe my luck when Familie Summerbelle's stand was right opposite our Curate 40 stand at Pulse 2010. Admiring "my print" from across the aisle, while talking to future customers, I decided then and there that it must officially become mine. After the show, Simon suggested that we trade prints, so I traded one of my red "Manor Garden" prints for a "London Map". How fabulous! It is now framed in my bedroom next to a few of my favourite books. Thank you Simon and Julie. More info about Familie Sumerbelle here.
Mengsel is on Pinterest now!
I was just invited to join Pinterest, an online community and a place to curate and share things that you love. It is like a virtual pinboard where you can "follow" collections created by people that you admire. I only joined last night and I'm already hooked! It is a very easy way to create mood boards for inspiration. You can follow Mengseldesign on Pinterest if you clink on this link.
We Make London summer fair
Everybody had a great time at the We Make London summer fair at the Old Chelsea Town hall on Saturday. It was fantastic to meet all the sellers and also see some familiar faces. Despite it being one of the hottest days of the year, my friends Liani, Graham, Andrea, Elmarie, Siebert and Laeticia were there to keep me company at my stand. Thanks for the lovely pics Graham!

game of tennis?
It is Summer in London! Living in Wimbledon, the tennis is everywhere I look. A very exciting time of the year. Especially after watching that record breaking game between Isner and Mahut game going on for an epic 10 HOURS. I think you might see a tennis inspired Mengsel design soon, so keep your eyes peeled. In the spirit of Wimbledon, here are some tennis inspired finds:

Colour of the day - chartreuse
I've been having a little bit of a chartreuse moment with my new Retro Roosters limited edition silkscreen print (available in the Mengsel Etsy shop). This colour is my favourite at the moment and I've search for some more finds...

When my sister-in-law Liani returned after a weekend in Edinburgh, she told me about this amazing space that she stumbled upon, The Red Door Gallery and that Mengsel's prints will be a perfect fit. Well, turns out that Sarah Kelk is just as nice and friendly as stated on The Red Door gallery blog. So, I'm very pleased to announce that my limited edition silkscreen prints will be on sale at the gallery and online shop. How exciting!
