Thanks so much to Sarah Johnston – the super-talented designer behind the Marram Studio handprinted textiles – for scanning and sending through this pic of Alan and Mari’s home that’s in the latest ELLE Decoration UK. I’m utterly enthralled by this magazine and it’s been a long-time dream of mine to see something of mine on those hallowed pages.
Sarah lives in the Orkney Islands, which is a really, really far northern Scottish archipelago, where she designs and prints exquisite nature-inspired textiles (like the ones below) under her Marram Studio label. Take a look at Sarah’s Silkscreen & Scribble blog to find out more about this super talented and very kind lady.
well spotted sarah & heather!
Nice house, Alan! (and great taste in tea towels) xx
Is she your doppleganger? How funny that you should have such similar looks and interests creatively? Spooky possum!
Actually, we all look exactly the same in South Africa. Results of a cloning experiment deep in the bad old days.

oh great! it came through the post a few days ago and i haven’t had a chance to get through it yet. i would also sell my grandma to get into elle deco. well done to you! x
I hope your grandma doesn’t read this blog!
Thanks for the congrats. xx
This article was also in an aussie mag – maybe real living? I cant hunt it down for you if youd like….?
Oh, really? Thanks for the very kind offer, but I think my head is big enough by now
Will ask Alan and Mari if they knew about it though. Have always found it odd that the home owners can have their home pics syndicated all over the show, and often they don’t know about it. xx
Hurrah Hurrah. And kudos. So I shall have to invest in some tea towles “as seen in Elle Decor UK.” Obviously.
[...] couch did give me some time to trawl my favourite blogs and I think one of my best finds was from Skinny Laminx’s blog, where she spoke of the UK designer, Sarah Johnston. She, like Skinny, produces hand printed [...]
We knew about it: it was put together by Frank Features who did the shoot with Warren Heath – http://www.warrenheath.com – but I only know about the Elle Deco UK bit. Not sure about the Ozzy flighting, can try and find out…
Mari has a couple of teatowels spare from one of her entrepreneurial efforts..
so nice – congrats Heather.
the leaf pattern is beautiful

Gosh making me blush now – happy to help it was no bother at all and I’m sure it won’t be long til we see more Skinny La Minx in Elle Decoration UK!
