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. I was delighted to be asked to review one of their products and Julie sent me a lovely mini triple photo frame in my favourite colour, purple!
The photo frame is beautiful; small and perfectly formed. It is much smaller than many leather photo frames that I've seen (just measuring 64 x 56 mm when closed), but is actually a perfect size for someone travelling who wants a small frame to tuck away in their handbag or luggage as a way of carrying photos of their loved one. As much as I love having a selection of photos of Little Miss C on my phone there is something about printed photos that is particularly special and I can see myself using this to carry around some of my favourite family photos. It's a lovely quality and very tactile too.
Looking at Julie's website there are some truly beautiful looking items on there. I could quite happily bring home most of her bags and the gifts section of their website has some lovely things in would make lovely gifts for friends or relatives. I'm also quite annoyed that I didn't discover their range before buying myself a new purse a few weeks ago – this large zip round purse would have been perfect. This Daisy Chain Print Passport Cover would also make a useful addition to my handbag for our first foreign holiday with Little Miss C that's fast approaching. All items are priced very reasonably and their range contains enough variety to suit both outgoing personalities and more conservative tastes.
I'm really hoping that several more items from Julie's collection will be finding their way to our home soon!
