"NICE NAPKIN"!

Napkins are one of our most popular items for sale in the Pink House Boutique on-island. Lotty's pretty prints and embroidered designs from island scenes are an essential for a beach picnic or outdoor dining, and make a perfect gift too!
Yoga Breakfast

Yoga Breakfast

After a late night dancing until dawn at the Mustique summer party some members of the Mustique community decided to salute the sun in a slightly different way. Dr Michael prescribed a healthy dose of yoga and a delicious breakfast down at Lagoon beach to cure the hungover.
MUSTIQUE 50th

MUSTIQUE 50th

After dinner Fireworks over Basil's Bar.  Quite spectacular and just what we needed to get us up from the dinner table and back down to the bar for a rare treat indeed.
GALA GREENS

GALA GREENS

16 days to the 50th Celebration of Mustique and I'm 'Farm Girl Thursday' again. This means taking the early morning flight off-island to St. Vincent (6 minutes), and a ten minute drive up into the hills to 'Spring Valley Farm' - Paradise on Earth!  We have important work today as we are supplying the Arugula for the Gala Dinner.
Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck

What an exciting moment to be present as Philippe Starck puts in the finishing touches.  The island is so quiet that only a handful of us were lucky enough to be around to pop a bottle of champagne and drink to the unofficial launch, or perhaps better described as the sneak-peak to the new Basil's Bar. (The official Launch will be at the big 50th celebration of Mustique this summer)
NEW STYLES

NEW STYLES

We started work on a new jumpsuit design which pretty quickly turned into pallazo pants and and a racer-back top!  We'll produce it in our new Lotty B silk prints and when worn together will give a jumpsuit effect
SZCZESNY AT WORK

SZCZESNY AT WORK

What a treat to see Stefan Szczesny at work.  I dropped in at Sienna...
TURTLE TIME

TURTLE TIME

What a special day!  Walking the windward coast of the island we came across an enormous leatherback turtle, Polly Angela, laying her eggs.
Mustique in Bloom

Mustique in Bloom

Mustique in Bloom! The island has been a riot of flowers this month but as the trade winds begin to blow in I noticed them thinning out and thought I'd better catch a few of the November flowers...
