Kirsties Homemade Home is about a journey the author made into a world which she thought she knew, but didnt. Its a world full of dedicated and talented people in England who make beautiful things, both traditional and modern that support the wonderful crafting heritage they have in the UK. If, like her, you have ever been caught at a yard sale or antiques market and couldnt keep control of your purse, or if youre curious and want to have a rummage for the first time, then this book is for you. Its Kirsties experience of a world which is as vast and varied as you can possibly imagine. Its about women and men who are ensuring that handmade British things are here to stay. And its packed with their expert advice on creating your own homemade home. If you enjoyed the TV series, then the book takes it one step further with her advice on interior décor, plus the shops and websites that have transformed her life. If you didnt see the show, then welcome to her world. Its a book for mothers and daughters, and trust me, sons. If youre looking for a new hobby, there is nothing more manly than blacksmithing or glassblowing, and few projects more satisfying than flower arranging or mini cake decoration. Or if you just want a moment to yourself and something lovely to look at, then this book will not disappoint. Try it—you have nothing to lose but your flatpack furniture!
