After weeks upon weeks of busyness, hurting my back and markets and festivals I was feeling worn out and stretched pretty thin. We've all been there, just going through the motions and living life without passion. Not really present in the moment and disconnected from it all.

Well I am pleased to say that my mojo is back! My house has had a brand new coat of pretty pink paint, and I have finally had time to rest and really play with all of the pretty things that have made their way online over the past several months. I've unpacked my shell dingly dangles from my last trip overseas, and after a year of living in this house I am finally feeling at home. Full of inspiration, I've had the dye pot bubbling on the stove and I've re-worked, re-dyed and re-imagined some of your favourite broderie anglais pieces - and I've fallen in love with them all over again.

Spring Gypsy Baby Doll Dress and the Spring Gypsy Pippa Petticoat

This re-imagined collection will be live on the website from 7pm Friday

I am so excited to give these pieces a fresh look and a new lease on life. I can't wait to share them with you! I'm away in Vietnam working on my gorgeous Sea Gypsy Luxe Velvet & Silk Collection, so the revamped Spring Gypsy Collection will go online at 7pm Friday 23rd March. Here's a sneek peek so you can get a feel for the pieces and plan your purchases.

These pieces are fab for ladies in the Northern Hemisphere heading into spring, but will work just as well for the Aussie chicks in Autumn who love to layer.

For those who are looking for tips on layering Sea Gypsy pieces I'll be doing a new blog post featuring some of my favourite items in the next month or so... watch this space!

Spring Gypsy Betsy Bloomers and Spring Gypsy Peggy Pinafore

Special Introductory Sale Price - 7 days only!

The new Spring Collection will have a sneaky special discount for the first 7 days while I am away, to say a huge thank you to you all. So that's 7 days from Friday 23rd March and all of the links in this blog will be live then too.

I hope you love this collection just as much as I do! I'm feeling rejuvenated and inspired and can't wait to start working on designing some new pieces. These super sweet matching hand-dyed broderie anglais bags will be going out free with every purchase from the Spring Gypsy range - while stocks last!

That's the great thing about Sea Gypsy pieces - they mix and match like nobody's business. A piece from a previous collection can link into new ideas for future projects, and my wardrobe is always fun and throwing out new combos. I am always inspired by how you all put things together, coming up with combos I never would have dreamed of but are oh-so good.

Hugs, Daniela xx
