Movement was very important to artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954). His art has a particularly playful energy, and none more so than in his later works.

Sales Ahoy!
I refuse to believe that I’m the only one this impacts: absent-mindedly wandering through the sales in shops, picking up a few half price pieces and getting home only to realise that everything matches. Not in the matchy-matchy sense; but your purchases somehow conform to a trend. No bad thing, but it’s curious when it happens when you’re unaware.

A few weeks ago I had some friends round for an impromptu afternoon tea. I opened the fridge for inspiration and was greeted by a punnet of fresh blueberries. I posted a picture of the cake on Instagram and thought I would share the recipe on here! It’s very easy to bake that you definitely don’t need to bake two bundts to hold up and wear as glasses.
