Is it too soon to say Merry Christmas?? 🎄✨

Because… I’ve been quietly working away on this year’s hand-painted Christmas baubles and I can finally share the news!

Next Saturday I’ll be at Drawn in Shrewsbury, armed with an exclusive batch of 200 baubles - please don’t miss it because once they’re gone, they’re truly gone. 💫

Christmas markets are hands down the most festive way to shop, and I can’t wait to see you all there!

SO much love,
JA

An unforgettable experience and a bucket list dream project come true ✨

To be a small part of the Royal Chelsea Flower Show was everything I thought it would be. Kindly commissioned by to design the beehives that went into the award winning Balcony Gardens for saw me dusting off my brushes and stepping into my red overalls.

The garden picked up The People’s Choice Award and won a Silver Guild Medal which (no easy feat) and was inspired by a world traveller with an adoration for all things African, where much of Bees for Development’s great work is focused.

The charity was set up to equip communities with the skills and resources to build life-long, sustainable businesses and of course, continue to populate the world with more pollinators.

The garden was designed and installed by dynamic duo Frank and Jenny from to be a space for insects and people to live side by side. The panelled walls we filled with materials like dried nettle and rhubarb storks which they favour over the wide spread bamboo canes commonly found in bug hotels and holes were filled with mud which solitary bees gravitate towards.

When it came to selecting the plants they transformed the honey barrels into a banquet fit for even the Queen including the sort after the blue star like Borage 😋

GUYS • Really really silly giddy to share that I’m flying the pink flag

After a whole load of work over the last few months, the Watering Cans are available with on her new curated market that launched just this week

Let me introduce the whole Shabang

In 2006 Holly founded of Notonthehighstreet, which went on to have a whole host of successes, she is now the UK ambassador for Creative Businesses and champions independents (which is pretty groovy imo)

As you know, there’s been massive shifts in shopping patterns, trends and the world in general since then. Holly.Co is the place where you’ll be able to discover new artists and find those special thing that can actually be cherished

I’m horrible at secrets and this one was a tricky one, I’m looking forward to being a part of the shift from mass production to happier consumption and a massive thank you to Holly and the very fantastic team for all the support

I’m flying the pink flag baby - mama Mia!

Loads of love

Gosh I loved painting this one •

Being asked to paint for people’s birthdays is such an honour

This baby is in the same style as the beehive I worked on in 2022, it’s like visiting an old friend being asked to dip into different styles and I love it

I’m in full blown packing mode now and next week I’ll be in a new space figuring out the feng shui - mama Mia it’s going to be a mission

Love

Morning!!! • I’m buzzing to show you these angels

I’ve been tinkering with the Splash collection and they’re ready for your garden. I wanted to paint in a style that paid homage to the late Dane Vivienne Westwood.

To paint her punk on one canvas would be impossible but I wanted to capture her resilient zest for people and environment. She inspired me in more ways than one to follow a life filled with colour and although flowers may come an go - her legacy will always shine on.

These watering cans hold 6.5 litres of water and come with an additional attachment should you need to water deep in your flower beds. Both available now in red and yellow, lead time will be 3-4 weeks after that🌈

I’m excited to test out this style on the other sized cans too and I can’t wait to see what the pots look like.

Have a sick Monday

Love

Watering Cans by Julie-Anne Pugh for Paul Smith •

A few months ago I did something a little out of the ordinary and maybe it was a miracle but it worked

I’ve written the tale of how I came to producing the collection in the Watering Can Newsletter with you can sign up on my website - I went full blown on the writing style and it some how reads like a short novel (oops)

So jump on it, I would love you to join🧚‍♀️

Love

Little close ups of the underneaths of some special little sugar pots from a recent commission •

Exactly 10 years ago I was studying product design at college, we had to rewrite our own brief, as many of your know I adore hospitality

Restaurants are the one place where ever craft, art and creative discipline come together to make that one memorable moment be it the lighting, architecture, menu or service design

I worked with the lovely to design a range of table ware for the vibrant cafe. Fast forward a lot of hard work, highs and lows.. it feels really so surreal and poignant to be hand painting restaurant ware for a true dream collab

Don’t let go of the little ideas if you have a vision

Right now, I’m sat listening to the rain finishing off a very jazzy collection for .fashion

This week is the week I’m going to share the rest of the work Ive been doing, I’m excited and I’m nervous

Wish me bloody luck
Love
JA & the watering cans
