Yesterday, I left you with a bit of a teaser, I know.
Are you ready for my exciting announcement?
I'm really hoping that
you'll love it as much as me.
{But enough with the waffle, Sarah.
On with the post....}
There's a shop in the Cotswolds,
called Relics of Witney,
that has been one of my all-time favourites for years.
They sell a fantastic range of paints -
Farrow and Ball, Sanderson, Dulux, Earthborn, Little Greene
- as well a the most beautiful architectural ironmongery.
Their advice is truly second-to-none,
and they even have a basket of toys for little ones to play
with while you're browsing.
They've asked me to design and author a blog for them.
I began the Relics of Witney blog about a month ago
and it's now ready for your personal viewing pleasure...
It's going to be a heady mix of top notch advice and tutorials
on using the very best paints and products,
as well as how to make your home and garden look gorgeous
and the sharing of fabulous information.
So far, posts have been about how to choose
and the Relics team have been sharing
Would you like a peek?
I'd be so honoured
if you'd consider following me there.

How exciting! I'm going to check it out now!
Go you!!!! Will take a nice leisurely look over the weekend, rushing out of the door right now! xx

Sarah
Congratulations--I will head over for a look. Last year we painted our house grey with blue undertones, and I badly wanted to paint the door pink. The painter, my husband and sons looked at me like I was mad, so I settled for a deep red. One day I am going to go paint it pink--I'm not sure they would even notice.
Hooray for you, Sarah! That is fantastic! You are the perfect person to do this. I'll be following.
Congratulations Sarah that's fantastic! You are a wonderful blogger exactly why they've chosen you I suspect. I'm going to take a peek now.. Have a lovely weekend!
Loved the Relics blog. I left a comment there too.
Congrats!

Ciao Sarah
Potrai dare consigli anche a me,se ti scrivo??
Wow adoro i colori Farrow & ball...
Giò
I just popped over. It's great, Sarah. You are really multi-talented, for sure!
I especially loved the doors. Mines a bright red and I've been thinking of changing it. I was so surprised the difference light played on some of the paint choices
It was very informative!
Yay! So very happy for you ;)
Congratulations, what a nice honor..I will go check it out!
Sarah, congratulations on this! I am so excited for you! :) I just went over to check it out, and think it is so lovely! I tried to follow you there, but there must be something I am doing wrong. I can see the Followers link, but nothing underneath it...maybe something is wrong with my computer! I will try again soon! :) But again, a big "way to go" to you from Seattle! You deserve it! :)
Hugs,
Jenni

That is so exciting Sarah! You did a great job over there. I loved the article on choosing front door colors. The homes over there have such great architectural interest. I'm still deciding on a color for my own.
hi Sarah, you're a natural choice! They could not even dream of a better visionary to start their blog. Your inquisitive nature and appreciation of detail shines through on each article. Warmest congratulations - you're so inspiring!!
It is always great to hear happy, good news. I doubt that Relics could have picked anyone better or more suited for the job.
Best wishes, though I know abundant success will surely be yours. :)
