Is it by simply selecting pieces that you really love, a well executed plan of matching styles and colours or a little bit of both?<br />
<br />
The great thing about affordable limited edition silkscreen prints, is that because the cost is not so high, you can afford to change the prints according to your mood, season or colour changes in your home. Mix it up!<br />
<br />
These walls look pretty good to me...<br />

The two designs feature recipes for <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/collections/homewares/products/gingerbread-men-recipe-tea-towel" target="_blank">Classic Gingerbread Men</a> and <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/collections/homewares/products/mulled-wine-recipe-tea-towel" target="_blank">Mulled Wine (with a twist)</a>.<br />
<br />
We worked with super nice US based blogger <a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Diana from exPress-O</a>'s tried and tested special recipes, which was illustrated by Luzelle van der Westhuizen in her trademark bold colours and Scandinavian simplicity.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy them! You can buy them <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/collections/homewares/tea-towels" target="_blank">HERE</a> individually and in sets. We only had 100 of each design made, so you better snap them up quick!<br />

My friend Naomi's adorable baby girl Claire wrapped up nice and warm in a "Sheep" organic cotton blanket by Mengsel. This chartreuse version is SOLD OUT, but the design also available in <a href="http://mengsel.com/collections/frontpage/products/sheep-baby-blanket" target="_blank">rose blush and winter melon</a>. Too cute! Love the yellow, white and green colour combinations. </div>

<br />
Printed by hand in my West London studio, this four colour print was so much fun to do. I love how the colours came out - it really makes you think of kayaking on crystal clear waters along tree-lined shores. I can smell the fresh air! There is something distinctly Scandinavian about this print.<br />
<br />
"Lake Boathouse" is available <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/product/lake-boathouse-limited-edition-silkscreen-print" target="_blank">HERE</a> in the <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/" target="_blank">Mengsel Shop</a>.<br />
<br />
Please scroll down to see images of the making process of this limited edition print.<br />

Tapas, siestas, beautiful architecture and the beach... what's not to like?<br />
<br />
Mengsel is now stocked at <a href="http://www.brocante-romantico.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Old Kitchen</a>, based in Mercantic, in Sant Cugat del Valles just outside Barcelona.<br />
<br />
The owners sent me a photo of their window display. Bueno!<br />

<div class="p1">
Say hello to Mengsel's brand new <span class="s1"><a href="http://www.mengsel.com/category/baby-new" target="_blank">BABY range</a>!</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
SO excited about this. I've started the collection with <span class="s2"><b><a href="http://www.mengsel.com/category/baby-new" target="_blank">Bigger Boat bodysuits</a></b></span>. Made from screen printed 100% certified organic cotton and available in 3 colour options: turquoise, rose blush and chartreuse and 2 size options: 3-6 months and 6-12 months. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
A super sweet Autumn/Winter baby range in the works and can't wait to share it with you. In my circle of friends, everybody is having babies (that happens when you're 32!) and it almost feels like I'm buying baby gifts in bulk now. I really wanted to create a <span class="s1">baby range</span> that was affordable as gifts for friends (or for your own beautiful little bambino).</div>

I was in Venice, Italy last week and visited the famous fish markets next to the Rialto Bridge. A seafood lover's paradise. A few of my snaps...<br />
<br />
Do you prefer British style Fish & Chips or fresh Italian seafood dishes? Any favourites?<br />

I can't tell you how much I love cruising around on this little beauty. I also got the <a href="http://www.bobbinbikes.co.uk/wordpress/small-rectangular-basket/" target="_blank">white rectangular basket</a> to cart around all my Mengsel orders to the post office. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I picked the <a href="http://www.bobbinbikes.co.uk/wordpress/bobbin-brownie-navy-blue/" target="_blank">Brownie</a> model in navy blue and I'm calling her Bebe (short for Bobbin Brownie). All of a sudden it is so quick to get to places where I usually would have to take a bus or train. I live SO close to Wimbledon Village, but the public transport to get there is awful. With Bebe, I can be in Wimbledon Common quick quick.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now I just need one of these stylish <a href="https://www.cyclechic.co.uk/shop/helmets" target="_blank">retro helmets</a>. I'm still using <a href="https://twitter.com/EnduranceHero" target="_blank">@endurancehero</a>'s old helmet from 1992. </div>

Giclee print available in A3 size. The colours are really soft and this print would look so sweet in a child's room or nursery.<br />
<br />

So excited about this, because the V&A has always been my favourite place to go with my sketchbook with an abundance of inspiration and beautiful things on display.<br />
<br />
The cushions and prints join a collection of seaside inspired goods to form a British Seaside collection at the V&A.<br />
<br />
Might have to make a little trip down to South Kensington this week to go spot them in the shop. Absolutely thrilled!<br />
<br />
You can also buy these seaside inspired items directly from the <a href="http://www.mengsel.com/" target="_blank">Mengsel Shop</a>. Here's to a fabulously sunny and colourful British Summer!<br />
