Julie Slater & Son Notebook

14/11/2011

Hello. My name is Mrs C and I am a list writer. There I've said it. I write lists and I love doing so. I have lists for everything. What meals we're having this week; what shopping I need the next time I place an Ocado order; what jobs need doing around the house; craft projects that need finishing; what I plan to buy people for Christmas and what I'd like to receive at Christmas.

Julie Slater & Son Mini Photo Frame

07/08/2011

I'm sure that I'm not the only person out there you likes filling their home with nice things. In my mind it's part of creating a home - surrounding yourself with people and things that you love. I'm always on the look out for lovely things, both new and secondhand, and I'm always particularly thrilled when I find someone new creating lovely things that I like. A few weeks ago I came across Julie Slater & Son - a lovely company selling leather purses, wallets, bags and gifts.
