Mollie Makes mention...

You might remember from this post a few weeks ago, we hotfooted it down to London for Selina Lake's Homespun Style book launch and market event to celebrate the release of her new book, Homespun Style... well, the fantastic team from Mollie Makes magazine were there on the day, and have given the event lovely full page of coverage in their latest issue - which also just happens to be their first anniversary issue! Happy Birthday to Mollie Makes!

Mani mania!

I have been seriously attempting to look after my nails, what with our impending nuptials and all so mani mania has begun ;)

I am obsessed with nail polish at the best of times, but now there is cuticle oil to consider and all kinds of other tending. It could completely occupy a gal, you know! X

Wedding Fever!

Sorry it's been a little quiet around these parts of late! We've been pretty busy, between a fab trip to London and planning the biggest event of our lives! ;)

You might have guessed from our something to celebrate post a wee while back, but we have set a date for our Wedding... And it's not far off at all!

September 28th to be exact. THIS year!! We're so excited.

After getting so wrapped up in choosing venues and big days, and budgets, we took a step back, re-thought the whole thing and have created a really intimate day, full of the closest people in our lives and a much more low key affair all round. It feels very 'us'. It feels just right.

We will be sharing lots of little details over the coming months as we design and create every aspect of our day ourselves and in true abigail*ryan style, so stay tuned... We will also share deets of the awesome people we are working with to make the day extra special.

But, for now, a wee sneak of our save the date invites!

Xo!!

Selina Lake Homespun Style Book Party and Market...

Hello everyone, and a very Happy Easter weekend to you!


It's been a bit quiet here, but we have been super busy behind the scenes preparing for a VERY exciting day in London - Selina Lake's launch event for her new book, Homespun Style...

Selina has curated an amazing event to accompany the launch of her beautiful new book, housed in Hanbury Hall in Spitalfields, some of the best and most exciting designer makers in the UK will be setting up stalls to form a Homespun Style market full of beautiful hand-made designer goodies and prime Vintage finds... to top it off, Selina will be signing copies of her new book and there will be glasses of fizz and buns to nibble on, too!

Ryan and I will be there with a selection of our abigail*ryan homewares, including some of our new Heirloom pieces, and we will be joined by, amongst many others, Catherine Hammerton, Abigail Brown, Emma Lamb and Clare Nicolson... we can't wait to see all the beautiful goodies.

Sounds like a very splendid day to us! The Homespun Market opens are 2pm on Friday the 13th of April (yes, that's THIS Friday coming) and runs until 8pm, so there is plenty of time to come along after work, too...

Find out more about the event and RSVP (or email Selina if you would like to reserve a copy of the book!) head to the Facebook Event page, and also read more about it on Selina's blog right here.

We hope if you are in London, or the surrounding area, you will head on down and support this special event... Selina's new book is outstandingly lovely and it's sure to be a fun, beautiful and inspiring day all round.

See you there!
Abigail & Ryan
