The Story

Gathering Memories

Gathering Memories is inspired by childhood autumn days spent with my mum and brother. We would walk together beneath changing trees, collecting fallen leaves and noticing the small wonders around us—the birds among the branches, late flowers in the hedgerows and the beautiful colours scattered across the ground.

My mum made those simple walks feel safe and special. Alongside my brother, every leaf became a little treasure and every pathway held the possibility of a new adventure.

The collection brings those memories together through delicate birds, autumn flowers, berries, leaves and quietly illustrated family moments. Warm terracotta, mustard and coral are softened by sage green, duck-egg blue, cream and deep teal, reflecting the gentle richness of the British countryside in autumn.

More than a collection about the season, Gathering Memories celebrates the comfort of family, the beauty found in ordinary moments and the childhood memories that remain with us throughout our lives.
