I’ve been working hard these past few days to unpack all the boxes and bags from my move. I’m so happy to say I’m starting to feel so at home. My fairy lights were the first things to get unpacked and put up. It made my first night in so cosy. I wanted to share some sneak peek photos of the new space and promise to add more as I tidy up completely! So here goes…..
And finally *JOY* for being in this wonderful space I now call home, to fill an even bigger vase with corks from wine enjoyed and to host friends and family to fill the walls with memories, laughter and love.
Also pleased to announce the winners from the First Friday Giveaway. Chosen randomly, you all receive 3 hand-made ornaments. Please email me your address to info[at]louisegale[dot]com:
Winners are: 1) Phoenix Peacock, 2) Tiffany, 3) Leila West Congratulations!

Congratulations on the move, and finding such a lovely place. I hope you are happy there, and will create much beautiful art inside its wallsXx
happy housewarming you!
It looks so very gorgeous and cosy and full of yummy things. I would love to think that one day I could be one of those people visiting and adding to the cork collection with you! Who knows, maybe one day.
How nice to have a lovely new home and studio. Merry making 🙂
