I am incredibly thankful to John Lewis for the opportunity to showcase my small business, The Cornish Surfer, through their in-store pop-up shop initiative with Popup Indie. This week has been nothing short of amazing, with an overwhelming response to the quality of my products—feedback that fills me with pride and gives me the boost every small business owner needs!

To all my wonderful new customers: thank you for choosing to support a small, British-made business.

As many of you know, all my designs are lovingly created in Cornwall, from the comfort of my loft studio overlooking the ocean. This panoramic view of the sea is my constant source of inspiration, where I watch the waves roll in, breathe in the salty air, and dream up the designs and color palettes that define The Cornish Surfer.

At the heart of my business ethos is a commitment to sustainability and ethical production. I strive to partner with factories as close to home as possible and use materials that are kind to the planet, keeping my carbon footprint to a minimum.

A huge thank you to those of you who choose to shop local, shop small, and shop British-made. Seeing my sales at John Lewis reflect your support reassures me that I must be doing something right!

Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that I plan to host more pop-ups with John Lewis in 2025, bringing The Cornish Surfer to coastal towns across the UK. Keep following me for updates—hopefully, I’ll be coming to a town near you soon!

Lastly, please don’t forget to leave me a Google review. This is one of the best ways for me to grow my online presence and continue creating products you love. Click on the link ‘google review’. Your feedback truly means the world to me!

Your support is everything.

Ocean Splash

Believe it or not coastal decor is my absolute favourite thing to design and I am excited to introduce you to four new cushions that will bring a splash of statement colour to any room when matched with our Daymer Blue and Fistral Cosy Supersized Blankets.

Proudly British made from organic cotton and filled with ethically sourced feathers for a super plump feel, these luxury gems will fill your home with the spirit of the ocean through design and colour.

I have chosen a more heavy weight cotton (like a cotton canvas) for more durability which in turn is ideal for outside use for those wanting to transform their garden into a coastal sanctuary.

The design and colour compliments the rest of our collection with waves and stripes in our best selling ocean blues and jades.  Why not also check out our matching Bone china collection of plates, mugs and more to complete the nautical vibes.

Heres a few shots of Matt and I at work, styling and photographing our new Cushions, matching blankets and bone china for a new brochure.  Hey I even thew in our sample cap which is coming in a few weeks too.

My new products should be available in the next two weeks.

Here are a few shots from the shoot that were kindly taken of Matt and I at work together.

A massive thank you to Laura for letting us photograph in your beautiful new home.

Thanks for reading!

It’s easy to celebrate love on Mothers Day with our thoughtful collection of British made, ethical and sustainable homewares.  Designed to bring the spirit of the ocean from the outdoors in.

Our British made, Wild Salmon Pink blanket are super soft to touch, making those chilly nights on the sofa or bed extra snuggly, warm and cosy.

Our newest edition is our wearable blankets ‘The Poncho‘ which have been designed for those that work from home or to throw on after cold water swimming. I wear mine when it’s my turn to make the tea in the morning.

My Mother is a big fan of The Cornish Surfer 360 Fine Bone China mugs as she claims that her earl grey tea tastes that much better from Fine Bone China. I have to agree.

Our Blankets and Mugs come beautifully packaged with recycled boxes, hand stamped with our brand logo and wrapped up with biodegradable recycled paper tape, so there’s no harm to the planet.
