Sea Legs
All this wet weather is giving me salty sea legs… if only I were actually by the sea. Never the less, I have had the wellies out, splashing about London and seriously considering investing in a waterproof jacket. I am really really fond of this bright fisherman’s style wax jacket by Gloverall, the original duffle [...]
Hindmarch Heaven
Everything is right and retro about these Anya Hindmarch LookBook photos. The bags aren’t bad either and I’ll take the red, pink and orange tote if you don’t mind. See all Anya Hindmarch treats here and check out the LookBook here.
Nineteen Seventy Three + Grafika + Holly Form
Retro stationery boutique Nineteen Seventy Three stumble across paper sculpture Holly Form via Instagram and instantly mailed her a bursting box full of bold Grafika wrapping papers over the seas to her Hamburg studio. And this is what she made. See more of what Holly form made with the Grafika papers here and where you [...]
Citroen H van man
For me, the Citroen H van is my ideal van. Forget the VW camper with all its retro trimmings and its vinyl covered sofa bed, the H van is a real van, a van with a job to do. I just love that french metallic hog. You see many around London, all lacquered up in [...]
Faux Pharmacy Vintage Packaging
Boots Original Beauty Formula were established in the 1800′s from original recipes by Florence, Jesse Boot’s wife … but fast forward to 2009 where Boots rediscovered their distinct antique packaging to give back the Boots heritage to the Original Beauty Formulas. This faux vintage packaging won many design awards for its proud design company, but [...]

Creative florists Lotte & Bloom really know how to say it with flowers. Need I say more?
Viva La Sardina
I’m desperate for a La Sardina from Lomography. I think the developed images are quite refreshing in comparison to other toy cameras and the body graphics just ooze with rustic holiday fun. How we can dream. What’s your favoured lomography model? # La Sardina Camera # Next 3 images # Last 2 images
Inspiration in its purest form
Lionheart and Oh Comely provide inspiration through writing, poetry, illustrations and curiosities. Oh and the pure joy of clutching a freshly printed publication. Oh Comely from here. Lionheart from here.
Sun Prints
I love the traditional technique of sun prints and Cyanotype prints. The naive style and blue tones are just gorgeous! The last image is a painting, but it seems to be [...]
Words for Twenty Twelve
The New Year always prompts fresh starts or resolutions and although I am not one to make resolutions on a whim as Big Ben strikes 12:00am, I am, however, partial to wise words and thoughts, especially those lovingly illustrated by talented folks. I bought this “Here & Now” print last year by Katie Daisy from [...]
PRIZED PENCILS
My new blog is a little over a week old and it’s only just warming up, but to mark the launch of this new blog I am hosting a little giveaway. I’d like to thank the few readers I have so far, but I hope that this giveaway can work on attracting a few more [...]
Enter My World
Welcome to Shedraws, my new blog about inspiration, designing and creating. Some of you may remember me from when I ran an online shop for a short time selling my illustrations as gifts and goodies, but since that time a lot has happened and my shop is currently on hold. I also ran a personal [...]
