Spring/Summer Inspiration - Salcombe Boat sheds

Some of the background shots from our Spring/Summer photo shoot in Salcombe.

You cannot help but be intrigued and inspired by the old boat sheds tucked away down the side streets of Salcombe. Beautifully crafted boats peek through weather beaten doors.

We happened to stumble into this hidden gem. A huge stack of lobster pots.

This lovely old weather boat shed door, was the perfect backdrop for our website. The colour and texture were just what we were looking for.

To see the final results and of course the range, see our website

Woodland walks - Cuckoo rock - More flora and fauna inspiration...

Love the texture and fungus on this old tree. It looks mystical! 

Perhaps there are fairies living in it!

Set up camp!

AW13 - Keeping it local!

 It is an exciting time here at Hawthorn as new products and materials start to arrive for our AW13 range which will launch 1st September.

Some lovely toasty Exmoor wool socks.

         Tweed material we will be using for some of our bags woven locally on the edge of Dartmoor using a traditional handloom.

AW13 will also see the launch of our eco leather range, which has been tanned using only plant extracts and non harmful chemicals. Made by a skilled leatherworker also on the edge Dartmoor.

Dartmoor - a summers evening at Grenofen

I love those long summer days. When it is still sunny at 8 o'clock.

When you can have a BBQ after a hard day at work.

The Oh Buoy mini mat is always useful for an impromptu sitting!

Happy Hawthorn Bank Holiday trip to Sharpham Vineyard

       Tinside bike tote - Not always on a bike! It is very handy and you really can fit quite a bit in!

Yesterday we took a little trip to Sharpham Vineyard, near Totnes in Devon. 

A working vineyard and cheese dairy set in an idyllic location on the banks of the river Dart.

We come here as a little treat to sample the tasty cheese boards and of course the wine!

They also support local businesses and sustainable practices sharing the same views as Hawthorn.
