Matik bonfire weekend pop-up shop

I will be off to India soon to start working on the next Matik collection. Before saying goodbye though, I am doing a pop-up shop of all Matik products at friends price. 

The event is on Saturday November 8th from 4pm till 10pm at the Green House, 49 Green Lane.

There will be live music, other fantastic stalls, yummy food - cooked by the lovely Alice, who is an incredible chef - spicy cider, intriguing cocktails and lots more.

Kids of course are welcome and the event is free so bring friends along.

Autumn memories

Autumn is probably my favourite season.
I love observing how the summery green leaves are slowly changing to all sorts of shades between orange, red and chocolate brown. I love wrapping myself in huge, wooly scarves to go out for a walk and embrace the weather, especially when the wind is so strong that you feel you could almost fly away. I love eating pomegranate, pears, apples and pumpkin soup. I love throwing myself in those big mountains of leaves, which are usually piled up at the side of the pavement (yes, I still do it). I love the crispy air of the morning and the first sight of frost on the grass. I love standing outside in a cold night while sipping mulled wine near a bonfire. I love Halloween and 'trick or treat'. And most of all, I love snuggle up on the sofa with my girls when outside is wet and cold, we get a blanket, make some hot chocolate and watch family movies all day long.
