In the movie of your life, who would you like to play you? Harrison Ford   Which song gets you dancing? Anything with an electric guitar solo in it.   What’s the best decision you ever made? To move to Lancashire as opposed to a little flat in Gloucestershire. I just wish it was a little closer to my family.   What did you want to be when you were growing up? I had no idea and still don’t know now!   If you could give one piece of advice to a young person today, what would it be? Clichéd I know but ‘make the most of everything’. As I approach my mid 4..

As it’s our tenth birthday this month we have been thinking long and hard about celebrations. What can we do to mark this auspicious occasion? What would be the most fitting tribute to all our efforts and subsequent successes? I decided to compile my own shortlist of the greatest parties on the planet in a bid to garner some inspiration… I noticed that the Beckhams recently rented out what seemed like the whole of Marrakesh for David’s birthday and had a blast by all accounts. Gorgeous people were flown in from all corners of the globe to attend this ‘golden ball’. Yes, this id..

Birthdays often prompt us to reflect on the past. So as we celebrate our tenth year in business, I thought I would take a trip back in time, to the year when it all began for us.   It was the year when the final Star Wars movie premiered in London, complete with a regiment of Storm Troopers and Darth Vader, when Glastonbury Festival suffered record flash floods and Daniel Craig was revealed as the next James Bond. Oh and Take That got back together, minus Robbie… Here are a few more snippets from 2005. January – The world awakes still reeling from the effects of the recent Asia..

When I started this company it needed a title. We had named our first born daughter, Lucy Charlotte Willow Thomas. So there it was. Me and Lucy when she was 3 years old. I thought you might like to know some more about that little girl and what has become of her during the past ten years. Me and Lucy. Well I can tell you that she has grown into a beautiful, funny, kind and caring young person who has many talents. She’s a runner, a musician and she writes lots of stories. But of all the things she likes to do, singing is what she loves best. When she sings, I know her..

  The past ten years have been an education for us. We have learned how to run a small business for one. We have also learned what it takes to build and sustain our success. But most of all, during those early days, we learned how to pick up the pieces and soldier on when things didn’t go quiteaccording to plan…But I suppose it wouldn’t feel like the achievement it does without a few mishaps along the way would it?   In all, we have had a great decade and are gradually becoming the company we want to be. We are constantly listening to what our customers want and respondin..

Working at Little Lucy Willow is ever such a lovely job. Bathed in beautiful pastel shades, surrounded by gorgeous fabrics draped over fabulous beds…it’s not so much a job as a downright pleasure! Except…we don’t spend an awful lot of time ooh-ing and ahh-ing over new furniture designs or bedspreads and we certainly don’t get much chance to sit down on said beds – inviting though they are! No, we are on our feet, talking to customers and when we’re not doing that we are in the office on the phone, taking orders, answering queries and generally chatting about children’s furni..

Well, where do I start? The past ten years have gone in the blink of an eye, such has been our workload, not to mention the arrival of our two beautiful, funny, energetic daughters, Lucy and Martha! But here we are and this is what we have achieved through a decade of long working days, very little sleep, a smidgen of time off and a few heart stopping bank statements…   Growing up I wanted two things. To run my own business and be a mum. I never really thought how the two would go together but when they happened within months of each other I soon found out.   I started our parent c..

Why else would all our furniture come with a five year guarantee?   As Daisy Brambles is loved by toddlers and teens alike it could be the first and last bed you ever buy for you child.  A wise i..

As soon as the sun starts to shine what’s the first thing that springs to mind? After the initial thankheavensitswarmer feeling has subsided of course…For me, it’s wardrobe hysteria. We are often afforded little warning when the weather is going to improve. One day it’s icy cold and the next, it is positively tropical! This leaves us with precisely five minutes to overhaul our wardrobes by ditching those polo necks and dragging out the old faithful “summer clothes”. Will last year’s t-shirts that haven’t seen the light of day for six months be good to go? Will they have been de..

Daisy Children’s Bed with Truckle   For April only, there will be 5% off this stunning exclusive collection, so to mark the occasion we have decided to list five reasons why we love it…   The Daisy Brambles bed can be made to your desired size whether a single, small double or double...

I have long been a really light sleeper. It all started when I became a mum for the first time. It can be quite handy, to be able to wake up at the drop of a hat when the children are crying, snivelling or have fallen out of bed. It can also be pretty annoying too. I have spent many nights lying awake watching the clock strike hour after hour until I eventually fall asleep not more than 30 minutes before I have to get up. When the alarm does go off I feel like a dead weight, like someone has filled my arms and legs with cement during my two second doze and glued my eyelids shut..

This month we are hoping that spring really is in the air after its lame beginnings in recent weeks…So to celebrate stepping just that tiny bit closer towards the sunshine we are offering 5% off our Daisy Brambles exclusive collection.   So called because of its decorative hand casted flowers, Daisy Brambles lends itself perfectly to this time of year – but will also bring in the sunshine on those cloudy winter days too.   If you have ever ventured into our showroom at Heskin and seen this stunning range with your own eyes, you would know what a piece of craftsmanship it real..
