Sophie Cuvelier grew up surrounded by artists so

from an early age it was obvious to her that she

was going to create beautiful things. Today she

works in her kitchen surrounded by scattered

mountains of hand dyed paper. Like a master

confectioner she mixes colours and sorts shapes

and sizes to make her gorgeous garlands. Perfect

to hang in a playroom or to create a festive

atmosphere at parties, however you use them

they’re bound to add brightness and cheer.

Garlands, various shapes and colours 3m reel £21, 5m reel £35, 10m £70

Fluttering to Selvedge this season are these

pretty butterfly hair slides. These simple but

pleasing accessories are made by French

company Tout Silo. Designer Laurence

Vermeulen has been described as “an embroi

dery and Liberty print addict”. Fortunately we

share her passion for these pretty prints and

think these hand made hair slides would

make a lovely Easter gift, there are seven

designs to choose from.
