About Me
- Hen
- London/Somerset, United Kingdom
- Hello, Thank you so much for visiting the HenHouse. I am a 30-something stay-at-home mum sharing my life with my lovely partner, Andy/Mr HenHouse, the Munchkin, aged 10, and three naughty cats: Charlie-Boy, Jacky-Ginge and Vorey-Puss! I love sewing, crafting, quilting and mooching for vintage finds. We currently split our time between the city in London and our cosy cottage bolthole in the West Country. Here we seek out eiderdowns, Lloyd Loom, china, flowery pictures, embroidered tablecloths and of course, cider and cream teas! I sell my handmade items at craft fairs, on Etsy and in my blogshop and am so thrilled they have found welcoming homes all over the world.

What a totally fun visit to your home!! I felt like I was accidentally early to a party and got to poke around and see everything while you were upstairs putting the final touches on your party dress! Isn't this the most fun time of the year!?

Tinsel draped casually, a tree with breakable baubles- how can I tell your cats are all at the sensible-not-climbing-the-Christmas-tree age...looking at photos of other peoples' trees makes me long for my mad kitten to grow old and wise before next Christmas!
