Easter Competition
Happy Easter everyone! Bring on a long weekend with lots of chocolate and hopefully some sunshine!
To celebrate we are giving away one of our Freya dresses in either violet flowers or our very own sunset block print. Entering is easy, all you have to do is share the competition post over on our Facebook page and tell us which colour and what size you need in the comments.
The hard part is choosing which print you would like!

Poppy Wears...
To accompany our series of blog posts 'Hester Loves...' we are also going write a series called 'Poppy Wears...'. It will feature outfit & styling ideas from our own collection as well as fashion finds from our travels. So, here is the first post, featuring an outfit styled from our new spring/summer collection.
All the items featured are available on the website, except the necklaces which have been made exclusively for our spring fairs, the first of which is in Bath on March 28th.

Hester Loves...
Old London underground posters.
The first artist's posters were commissioned in 1908, and over 1000 artworks were created in the 1930s! There is still a tradition for art on the underground today, and it can certainly brighten up a dull tube journey.
Lovely watercolours of gardens and parks, adverts for great events like the boat race & Wimbledon, cartoons, abstract and graphic posters, there are so many to choose from, we just can't pick our favourites! But anything advertising London Zoo or shopping is popular with us! Most of our favourite designs are from the 1920s.

Summer sales quickly reached - Mary Koop (1925)
A fantastic and ever-changing selection of posters is on show at the London Transport Museum, the current display of prints are all designed by women artists. Don't forget to check out some of the amazing fabric designs for the seating as well. It's a great place to visit with children and an annual pass costs £16 for adults, we think it's a bargain!Keep warm - travel Underground - Kathleen Stenning (1925)

Hester Loves...
In our news series on the blog, Hester Loves..., we will be exploring the things that inspire and delight Poppy & Hester. In our first post today we look at the lovely book Arthur's Dream Boat. Written and beautifully illustrated by Polly Dunbar, we love this magical children's book and the sunset pictures provided great inspiration for our colour story this season!
