Movers & Shakers the weekly edit |

|
Welcome to the Movers & Shakers weekly edit, full of all singing and dancing makers, artists, interiors, food, fashion, gardening, music and more. Places to visit and people to meet will be added when we can get on the move again. I am feeling inspired by the hive of activity generated by social media platforms; engagement between brands, competitions, fund raisers, free streaming, food deliveries and general positivity creating a great community spirit. The background image for this week's newsletter is our larger than life Broom which lives and breathes radiance and hope. xx Georgie xx |

WHITEWORKS JET COLLECTION HUNTERS Many who know me, are well aware of my love for wallpaper and fabric so it comes as no surprise that when I spotted Whiteworks JET Collection, in The World of Interiors back in October 2017, it was love at first sight. Little did I know when choosing the Hunters wallpaper that the story behind it was connected to North Yorkshire, not far from where I live. | | |

There's a treat in store for you on the Bible of British Taste website Ruth Guilding is currently writing articles on the cream of the crop designers which are fascinating, and a feast for the eyes. The link below leads to the article 'SJ Whitework's Design Heroes: Cecil Beaton, J.E.T. and Marthe Armitage', introduced by Ruth, with the body of the article written by Susanna White. Well worth a read and if you like Hunters or any of the other designs in The JET Collection I suggest you get 'following' 20apimlicoroad on instagram and have a look on the Whiteworks website. |

PODCAST MEET ME AT THE MUSEUM I have been a fan of Meet me at the museum podcasts for a while now and was thrilled to read that there is a new series, Series 4, featuring DJ Edith Bowman at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Mel Giedroyc at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, Katy Hessel and Anneka Rice (yet to find out where they are exploring!). How exciting! The three previous series are also full of fun hosts and interesting museums & galleries. These podcasts will keep you informed and entertained for hours... | | |
