Don't Miss: Open Gardens, Chewy She & Light Puzzle

Plus, sign up for The UK Creative Festival!

Ramsgate, it’s getting hot in here. I feel like I’ve been on holiday today, which is quite nice, having melted in the shop for the last week. We started the day sneaking over to Tilmanstone for the car boot, before heading to Treasure Trove at Gather & for more secondhand browsing, and then the Italianate Greenhouse for Eleanor’s revitalising soundbath. We finished the day back on the harbour for freshly whipped-up tacos and buzzy vibes. The cup is full, the hair is salty, and the skin is perhaps in need of a little more SPF. Thank goodness for a whole week of events to keep the party going…

The Italianate Glasshouse looking stunning today.

Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
