Bespoke, personalised wooden signs which are handpainted, keyrings & necklace hooks. Fabulous silk flower bouquets with a country feel .

If you would like to order from here - send me a message with what you would like and then all payments to go through Paypal. I am inspired taking in the gorgeous things around me and by listening to my lovely friends chat away and then putting the wonderful chatty sayings and thoughts onto gorgeous signs! Alot of laughter as people are always giving me wonderful sayings! All my wooden gifts are h

and-painted in a vintage cream or various other gorgeous colours with a distressed finish making each one weathered and unique. The signs are timeless and make the perfect gift as each has been carefully crafted to capture the imagination and resonate with humour, sentiment and affection. Choose from one of our popular themed sayings or create your own. Some of our top sellers:‘ I must remember to put my wife before football', ‘ Champagne is the answer.' 'Sshh - the baby is sleeping' We go together like Gin & Tonic'. All are able to be personalised. These beautiful signs have been featured in Country Living Magazine and look stunning hung from their hessian twine from door handles and bed-knobs or just resting on a window shelf. Please allow up to 7 days for a bespoke sign. If your sign is needed urgently please let me know and I’ll do my best to get your order to you as quickly as possible. My wooden necklace hooks are the perfect gift for the girls that love their jewels! They are hand-painted in a vintage cream/frrench grey with a distressed finish – a stylish way to organise one’s jewellery! Each comes with five hooks and the saying ‘ I Love My Necklaces’, embellished with a little heart. I endeavour to make everything from our studio in South London, with nothing being made abroad ( except the gorgeously realistic faux flowers!)

Do browse - Happy looking!

I’m ½ way though chemo!! yippee!
I’ve got a new string to my bow...popping a needle in my stomach. Hhhmm - I’m so not good with needles.. but when you have the amazing encouraging you. You feel you can do anything!

I’ve put this photo up... as this is generally me with a smile on my face.
I was feeling well & upbeat & .mcaulay takes the best photos of women.
And I want to remember how I felt beautiful with no hair! ( makeup is a go to 1st thing in the morning! Or I don’t recognise myself! Hard - but true) ❣️

I am SO blown away by the kindness of good friends, friends I don’t know that well, and then friends on here. Friends that I’ve picked up again after 20 years, of a chance meeting a month or so ago, and then new friends on here from the other side of the world, London, Isle of Wight..you name it.
Such gorgeous messages of support, egging me on.
People have been praying, sending gorgeous gifts, that ALWAYS arrive just on those hard days ( God’s perfect timing) meals, cards, text messages...

T H A N K Y O U !!!❣️

I really hope I’m one of those people, when I hear someone is going through a tough time, I jump at being in touch. The support & love is so uplifting. I’m just SO touched be EACH message.

Recently some days have been tough, but the best advice I was given.

Be kind to yourself. Take each day as it comes. Don’t compare ..

I say no to lots, and have learnt, that I only want to be around very few people at one time. So the odd coffee or walk here & there.

I don’t often wear my wig... on special occasions - as I think it’s helpful for people to see what we’re going through. I always wear a scarf or beanie ( not the best look on me!) Harder on me for sure, but I get such kind looks! Which I’ll never say no to!
And I’m more than my hair!
I’m learning so much. When your eyebrows start falling out, and you have no hair, the whole landscape of your face is different! A hard way to learn.. especially when hair & makeup is such a big part of our lives.
It’s raining... perhaps a little walk to the post office! I’m putting off injecting myself off for a bit! xx

Hello! I haven’t posted here for a while!
I thought I’d show you these great photos that .mcaulay took of me. She is so talented & ALWAYS takes the MOST beautiful photos of women! She always captures them perfectly! I wanted some that was me how I am now. I love them!
Photo 1 - me now!
Photo 2 me before treatment!

I’ve sent my pictures to my modelling agencies - how great would that be to promote The Classic Model nearing 60 with no hair!
Diversity!

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve had ‘no hair’. I’m getting used to it, but it is definitely the thing I found the hardest. It also takes me longer to get out in the day! Sometimes I throw my wig on (super quick!) as I just want to feel like me, ( although I do worry it’ll come off in wind!!) other times I throw a warm hat on or it’s the scarves..! It’s teaching me so much. Never judge a book by its cover, as we have no idea what’s going on in other people’s lives.

I’ve had counselling for the trauma of loosing my hair which really only you set in about 4 days after it came out. And trauma it was for me! The counselling was invaluable! I left feeling peaceful, and $1,000000 in my scarf as I stepped out onto The King’s Road!

I saw a lovely neon sign in an office window yesterday..it said BE KIND. I thought that was just lovely! Family, friends, neighbours, new friends on here & others I don’t know so well, but have written to me have shown such kindness to me through this journey. If ever I marry again, one of my top qualities is for them to be kind.

So far ..I’ve felt pretty well on the chemo I’m on, I’m able to do my work which is great!
Let’s pop a scarf on today & greet the world!
Happy Tuesday! x

Trying a new look today care of who does fab scarf tying tutorials!! Check her stories out! She’s such a warrior!! And so lovely to connect on with on here! If I’m honest... this whole malarkey business takes awhile to get ready to go out of the house!! Makeup, scarf, earrings, clothes...!!Maybe I’ll get quicker! I remember someone saying you have to try a different style as what suited you before, may not now! As there is no hair around my neck! Which I’m really missing! I love seeing people out and about in scarves now! It’s brought me to a whole new section of shops, and charity shops!! xx

Chemo round 2...
I had my 2nd lot of EC on Monday - so far so good!
I took my wig for a spin to the flics to see 1917... had to wear a hat incase it blew off! I decided the turban might be a bit high for the viewer behind me!
I didn’t have a PICC line put in as a form for swabs wasn’t done by the doctor - if I’m honest I was quite pleased! I’m not 100% sure I want one. My veins so far have been good, I wonder what you all think? Although I’m not brilliant with needles, after about 15 mins, and complaining I didn’t like it, I didn’t notice it.
So I’ll have another think!
Getting used to my bald head, but I’m definitely not brave enough to go out and about - one day maybe where I won’t know anyone!
Now to catch up on all my work that needs to be sent out & open up my shop again!

Little catch up.
Chemo round 2...
I had my 2nd lot of EC on Monday - so far so good! I had a gorgeous complimentary foot massage by the lovely Lorna! That was heaven! I didn’t do the cold cap, as it didn’t work for me & my hair fell out in clumps on day 20.
Last night I took my wig for a spin to the flics to see Sam Mendes film 1917... had to wear a hat incase it blew off! I decided the turban might be a bit high for the viewer behind me!

Now to catch up on all my orders that need to be sent out for & open up my shop again! And get in touch with my modelling agencies! I’d put that on hold for a bit. Perhaps there’s lots of modelling for the Classic model with a shaved head. There should be!!
