STORE SNAPS

lots of people have mentioned that they like to see my store snaps on print & pattern so i thought i'd round up a few recent ones before next month when the stores will be full of christmas design. im kicking off with a few cards from the art group, featuring the work of jane foster (above) and liza lewis (below).
below : geometric mugs from whittard of chelsea.
laurence llewelyn bowen ' tafetia' wallpaper spotted in B&Q. mundane trips to the supermarket will still reveal interesting surface design like these from sainsbury's featuring tissue boxes, napkins, and tea towels.
below : nice florals on mugs and an iron board cover as seen in homebase.
