Boynton Hall

Shall I let you into a little secret?

 This is the house my father grew up in, Boynton Hall.

 My grandparents bought it after the war. 

Sadly it was sold on in the 1970s - oh how I wish our family still owned it. 

What a wonderful place to grow up in, and my mother dated my father while he lived here and she remembers what a wonderful house it was full of ghosts and dust! 

Wonderfully the owner now, allowed my husband and i to get married in its little church as my parents did many, many years ago.

 A little fact about me to share with you all.x

At the moment I am super busy creating and designing,

creating Sesame and Lilly,

Today I am creating a new line of pin cushions, and had a quick morning walk through Pinterest to inspire me.

Beautiful vintage dream illustrations

As well as creating Sesame and Lilly, I am also a print designer.

Recently I thought it would be lovely to combine Sesame and Lilly with my print skills so I have started designing a new line of illustrations that are available to purchase. 

I will also be printing these designs onto cushions and beading and stitching into them.

Both new illustrations are now available to purchase from the shop.

Created from dreams of diamond jewellery, fragrant flowers thick on a carpet of meadow grass and graced by swooping swallows and birds whose wings are touched with watercolours of love

This is a timeless original Sesame and Lilly print.

Each print is digitally printed onto high-quality 250gsm natural ivory card, perfect for framing and placing in a loved corner of your home.

Available in A4 (297mm x 210mm)

Comes packaged in a cellophane print envelope, wrapped in tissue paper and a protective board backed envelope.

 

£12 each with free shipping in the UK
