Introducing Sage

Screen Shot 2013-04-24 at 12.18.03 AM

I’m not sure if any of you have ever wondered where the name ‘sage x clare‘ comes from? Well, along with some exciting news, you are about to find out.

I have a twin sister and her middle name is ‘Sage’ and mine, you guessed it, ‘Clare’.

Whilst this blog to date has been entirely made up of my own sources of inspiration and musings, I am about to introduce Jemma ‘Sage’ as a regular guest blogger.

Living on the opposite side of the world to me (sad face), we’ve more or less got both hemispheres covered. Plus, Jemmi is pretty much everything I’m not – cool, a great cook, artistic, naturally blonde, a handmade card giver (causing me great embarrassment when I hand over my store-bought card), an expat, a no-fuss kinda girl, a music festival goer, a graphic and textile designer, a risk-taker, and an adventurer.

Gosh, if we were the same person, we’d be pretty well balanced!

Not only is she my best friend,  but she’s also constantly feeding me with super cool findings that have slipped through my radar. So it seems kind of silly not to have her sharing these inspirations with you too. From here on in, Jemmi will be guest blogging weekly with her latest and greatest findings.

So, introducing…. Jemmi!!!! I hope you enjoy having her around…

Been a little MIA lately, but now you can all see what I’ve been up to! Chris and I launched our homewares and accessories business on Saturday to friends and family, which was a great success. It was so much work for one day, but all the lovely people that made the effort to come meant that it was fun-filled, positive, and inspiring. Such a relief! There is always that anxiety, when you host an event, that nobody will care to come and you’ll be left standing on your lonesome amongst food and drink aplenty. So seriously thank you for saving us the embarrassment!

Would like to especially thank Susan and Clare for lending us their yoga studio for the day (you really must check out this magical yoga studio if you haven’t already), my Dad (who seems to be eternally helping me move things from one place to another), our family for their reassurance and support, and all the friends and family who came to view, shop, and give us their feedback.

To anyone that couldn’t attend or lives afar- the online shop will launch in March.

Love xx
