A Very Lovely Magazine Feature

Last weekend as I was editing images and organising orders the post dropped onto the doormat downstairs.

My new mantra is if I am in the middle of something, don't just drop it and move on to something else. That said the post stayed on the doormat for quite a few hours..

When I did take the time to make my way through the pile I came across a brown envelope with a heavy book inside. I was intrigued by it and ripped open the envelope to find this beautiful magazine.

(Click on the images so that they appear bigger.)

Earlier this year I received an email from a publishing house who loved the Keep Cosy This Christmas designs.

I was so pleased to see it feature above and after spotting it I had a good flick through this wonderful magazine.

 I must admit that I have not yet found time to read the articles in full, I am terrible for flicking through and looking at pictures!

  Which leads me on nicely to this article which I have just found when scanning these beautiful images in..

Something For The Weekend is one of the articles which I have come across when flicking through the magazine today. It's an article about 'Reclaiming the weekend' explaining how 'Real leisure is not about a packed social calendar, it's about balance.' I couldn't agree more and I absolutely will make time this busy weekend to take some time off (however small) and have a good read!

Have a great weekend!

A Sunday Catch Up

I wanted to share a couple of Sunday snaps with you.

The roast dinner is in the oven and my to do list is growing by the second. But we managed to get a couple of hours outside today and had a lovely relaxed stroll around Winchester. 

There is always something going on in Winchester it seems. 

Today it was the farmers market, the vintage market and the art and design market, so there was plenty to see! We managed to pick up some lovely things for our next photo shoot. 

Back in the studio now it's time to pack garlands and gift wrap as it seems we all turn to home comforts, such as baking, keeping cosy and adding festive touches to our homes.

Last but by no means least, I am so pleased to say that Sophia Victoria Joy has been featured on the Letter From The Editor page of this months Country Homes and Interiors Magazine. Something I had always dreamed of. 

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday,

Idea Home - 'This Month We Found'

This morning I got a very early start in the studio. 

Christmas orders are now flying in and I have found myself becoming a full time postman! However it was yesterday that I came across this lovely feature of our Blackboard Enamel Mug & Flask in Ideal Home.

Yesterday was a day of packing and finalising a product sample for an exciting photo shoot. As it began to get dark I looked at the clock, and noticed that I was left with 5 minutes to get to the post office and post a press loan next day delivery. 

After achieving this I was more than happy to be offered a 'pick me up' cup of tea there and then by partner Mike. Dashing out of the post office door I spotted Ideal Home and picked it up, with that 'Just in case' attitude!

Once flopped onto a comfy chair I had a quick flick through and to my delight, there was our Blackboard Enamel Mug and Flask!

Once I got home and had responded to the days emails I popped this product live on the Sophia Victoria Joy website for Pre Order. (Available for dispatch 1st November) To my delight we had our first order for this new product instantly!

I think that the lesson is that hard work pays off. Sometimes it's features such as this or a simple phone call from a customer to say thank you which really makes my day. 

Best Wishes
