Itās timeā¦ @the_rhs Chelsea Flower Show 2026!!
When we signed up for Chelsea last year it felt so intimidating - this year itās our second time and it just feels incredibly exciting! The whole team has been working towards this for months - whether itās prepping stock, or making banners, or building furniture, or ordering decals, or (even!) finishing embroideries. But we are SO ready!!
I was absolutely buzzing when I left the stand today - it looks amazing and I am so incredibly proud of this beautiful business and our beautiful products. I am not even going to try be modest. This feel like the best showcase we have ever done for what we do.
Throughout the week nearly every team member will be on the stand (even down to the littlest - Sasha - who will be there Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes).
Are you coming??!
We wonāt let a spot of rain dampen our joy - we are British after allā¦ we canāt wait to meet you!
9 months of Sasha!!
She may still have no hair, no teeth, no desire to move anywhere, no understanding of any words beyond her name (maybe?!), very limited interest in solid food, complete bafflement if you try to play peekaboo ā¦ butā¦
This girl can clap š
I am starting something newā¦
This is a bit of an adventure, a bit of fun, and hopefully ends in something magic! You can follow along the journey on @totoandtops
A Day in the Life with our founder, Eppie!
Here is a little insight into the day to day life of Eppie - since Sasha has joined the team, the two of them work from home a couple of days a week. So here is a glimpse into one of Eppieās typical office days!
This is my very first Motherās Day, and if youāve got a new mum in your life too, Iād love to gently suggest something.
The past six months have been a whirlwind - beautiful and chaotic. Some days feel magical, others feel totally out of control. You donāt know when the next feed is, when the last nap happened, or when the next nappy will need changing.
The thing thatās helped me feel grounded through it all has been sewing!
When everything else feels uncertain, having something small you can control, something you can make progress on, something you can actually finish - is worth its weight in gold.
Embroidery kits are little pockets of calm, theyāre quick, theyāre easy, you can pick them up for five minutes and put them down again without any pressure. And more than that, you can stitch something that captures this very special - if slightly wild - season of life.
So if youāre looking for a Motherās Day gift that gives a new mum a little time for herself, do think about an embroidery kit!
Spending our day off watching the ducks in the park š¦
So very grateful to @thefabledthread team for making it possible for me to go back to work part time and get these precious moments with my little girl
And just like that our 7 weeks in the mountains has come to an end. Itās been the most precious time with my little girl, my family - isolated from the world in a little snowy bubble!
Grateful for the time we have had, and excited to get back to normal life!
Some snaps from the last 2 weeks
We are on the final countdown now before heading back to London - making the most of the last days of mountain air but also excited to get back to real life again!
My little Sasha is 6 months old today ā„ļø
Whilst she may not have made much progress on the hair front, I think she has been pouring all that energy into smiles instead.
Every single day with her is a treat - we are so lucky!
