    Christmas at Caravan (& posting dates)

    Posted on December 11, 2023

    Thank you for all your orders over this festive season!

    Whilst we have a much reduced selection in the shop this year, there are still some really special pieces in there…. Nathalie Lete’s beautiful silk scarves continue to be popular and we still have good stock (and a few designs that haven’t yet made it onto the website – whoops!), so do peruse/get in touch if you think these beautiful works of art might be just what you’re looking for. Each scarf is lovingly wrapped by moi (and I adore wrapping), ready to hand over to a very lucky recipient.

    I’m also enjoying wrapping a good few of the Caravan classics. Think white rabbit lamps ideal for all ages and spaces, original Kaymet trays guaranteed to elevate your hosting this holiday, along with baby deer (who couldn’t resist a group of these little guys?!) and miniature deer heads – fauxidermy at its best, non?

    Right, on to those posting dates….

    Caravan Style is On The Move!

    Posted on June 14, 2019

    Another sunny day … It’s now June and we’re six months in, can you believe? It’s been quite a year already at this end, there’s a lot of exciting change ahead and I’m so happy to be sharing the news that we’re moving house!

    The changes ahead are as much a surprise to me as to anyone else. I’d have happily carried on living in our little London house “forever”, so it had to be something very very different to pull me away. And it is. We’re off to a Victorian seaside bungalow later this year (with a few stops in between).

    Posted on February 24, 2019

    This warm sunny spell is making me feel like bringing the outdoors in!

    I’m enjoying hanging plants galore right now while underfoot (bare, not slippered, as we’re having these warmer temperatures 😉 ) I’m falling in love all over again with our Armadillo rugs.

    Posted on September 19, 2018

    I am obsessed with vintage florals. I love old floral everything – paintings, fabrics, postcards, silk scarves, ceramics. The lot! I’m also a bit of a minimalist, which doesn’t always sit happily with this particular obsession, but I make space for my beloved collection of vintage floral postcards.

    I find most of my cards in French flea markets, picking up a few each time I have the pleasure of a weekend in Paris, which is usually tagged on to a visit to the biannual trade show, “Maison et Objet”.

  • Caravan Style Silk Scarf Drapes

    Posted on May 10, 2018

    I’ve had a lovely session going through silk scarves with a customer this morning – we were oohing and ahhing over the wonderful palettes and patterns that each tell such a unique story of their time.

    I adore vintage silk and satin scarves and have collected quite a selection over the years, from which I pick out and put together to create our dreamy Caravan Style Silk Scarf Drapes. These striking lengths of eclectic vintage fabric hang beautifully as a window dressing or to divide a living space.

    I’ve recently been thinking about kitchens. I love it when there’s a good dose of pretty in practical and this pinky terrazzo heaven by Heju Studio ticks all my boxes…

  • Golden Day

    Posted on February 1, 2018

    It’s Golden Day today, a much anticipated yearly event when the children can choose which creative activities they’d like to enjoy, for a more relaxed, fun school day.

    As I dropped an excited Bunty off this morning she said “You can have Golden Day today too, mummy”. After initially dismissing the idea, I thought again and decided I can have a Golden Day! I still have the same to-do list but I’ve approached my schedule with a Golden Day attitude, and it’s going well.

    I’ve decided to treat myself to a golden bunny today too, to mark the occasion. He shall sit on a window ledge until I’ve saved enough for him to multi-task as a useful door stop.

    A lacy table cloth fitted the window perfectly. A quick fix that stayed. #caravanstyle
