Hand drawn illustrations delicately transferred into etched wooden decorations for your home. Lily Faith gathers inspiration in her constant companion, her sketchbook, gleaning ideas from the hedgerow and travels beyond her native Devon. These sketchbooks are her visual reference library, that tell tales of adventure and travel to continents near and far, but also of the friends that visit the Bird Table insight of her studio. With a passion for colour and the play of pattern, scale and mark making, Lily Faith loves to create interior embellishments with humble materials.

Fresh from the Studio:

Good morning, well I know I’ve been a bit quiet the last few days but I’ve been really enjoying not being glued to my phone, pottering in the garden, big walks with the dog , eating all the vegetables and trying some Lily Faith orders out. Here are some beautiful flowers given to me last week by two different people. One knows my love of peonies and the other my love of anything orange. . . Especially flowers. Hope Wednesday is kind to you folks. #floral #florallove #peonies #calendular #prettyinpink #progressreport #myfriends #galpals #rejuvenation #rest #restore
What’s that I see? Blue sky and my favourite Buddlea! Look at those little Pom poms of Orange joy! Happy Thursday folks, can we all do a sunshine dance to make it stay, the clouds have already come over. Oh and now it’s drizzling. Perfect. ! #thewettestjune #sunshine #rainyday #sundance #pompom #orangeflowers #hellojune #bringbackthesun #bluesky #blueskythinking #complimentarycolours
Well hello favouritest new creation in the whole wide world. I did wonder at one point whether knitting a cardigan in June was foolish, but frankly if the weather carries on like this, I’m never taking it off. It matched my nail varnish, it matches my newly painted bike - she’s also newly named Olive and she matches the diamonds that flank the orange sapphire in my @erincoxjewellery ring. This cardigan is one of the marvellous @laurenastondesigns new knit kits. They are absolutely idiot proof- thank you Lauren. Although I did opt out of the wooden buttons and used two of my precious Vintage ones from my Granny. They are just so weird and sparkly. The ring is a very early leaving gift from Erin, she knows how to make a woman cry with shear joy and gratitude. Thanks goes nowhere near covering my appreciation. #knitkit #knitter #knittingclub #laurenastondesigns #lily_faith_printed_painted #erincoxjewellery #vintagebuttons #1950sbuttons #handknit #knitonepurlone #exetergoldsmith #exeterjeweller #orangesapphire #orangesapphirering #greendiamonds
It’s a bullfinch kind of day. Apologies for the radio silence! I’ve been busy making stock for lots of galleries but also for the @madeitdevon Summer Market, eeeeek! Not only do I get to help organise it with the hugely gorgeous and talented @rosiejohnsonillustrates and @jaypea_art but I get to have a stall too. It would be splendid to see you on the 6th July at the Phoenix Exeter. It will be a cracking weekend in the city with plenty of music and craft. #exeterphoenix #exeterfestival #craftfestival #makersmarket #madeitdevon #contemporarycraft #bullfinch #acharmoffinches #charming
Mr Goldfinch and many other friends are venturing further Southwest this weekend to @herringbonepolperro hoorah! He’s going along some of my the new tassels earrings with him and hoping for a bit of sunshine amongst the showers. Fingers crossed for it drying up a little bit! #migration #flyingsouthwest #southwestmaker #wreathmaker #wreath #goldfinch #charmofgoldfinches #charm #seedheads #papercut #handpainted #laseretch
I found a new pen yesterday, it was a pen I bought for myself on my birthday, buried it in my bag and only found it again yesterday. Needless to say, today I have a T-Rex 🦖 style claw hand from drawing with that baby all night long. The strain is real! But, it’s the simple pleasures right, I have two favourite pens now my 0:8mm unipin and my firm bestest pal the pentel brush pen-best not is its refillable. What makes you happy insta pals? Today it’s stationary, for me. #simplepleasures #simplejoy #studiodwell #pen #putpentopaper #linear #linedrawing #sketch #mannequin #stationery #stationerylove #happiness #pentelbrushpen #pentel
Five years ago today, I married my bestest friend, how time flies . . . ! We will be celebrating with home made pizza and a glass or two of red, we feel like we’ve done fine dining to the Max last week. But in a few weeks we are going to see Gaz Coombes at @exeterphoenix The bad wife that I am forgot that James loves a real ticket and has faithfully kept all of them from every gig he’s been to. So I made him one. Happy wood anniversary @spencersemporium ! #fiveyears #fiveyearsago #anniversary #woodanniversary #laseretch #laseretched #tickets #ticketcollection #gazcoombes #exeterphoenix
I’ve got a new friend for you to meet, this is my latest pal, Mr House Sparrow. These little beauties run rings around our garden, like a little rebel gang. The first clutch of chicks have recently fledged the nest. And by the look of the amorous liaisons in the guttering this morning, it shouldn’t be too long until round two are on their way. In true Lily Faith fashion I’m still knee deep in photo editing, but these little beasts will soon be available on my website and Etsy. #sparrow #housesparrow #sparrowwreath #wreathmaker #wreath #wreathdesign #lilyfaithwreath #interiorwreath #nestandthrive #featheryournest #nestandflourish #featheredflourish #flourish #birdsofafeather
Wherever I lay my hat . .. It’s been a slow day today, tinkering, pottering and a bit of mooching about. Lovely to wake in our own bed, drink copious amounts of tea and make slow progress but in a good way. We are going at a snails pace. I bought a few silly little trinkets in Paris, and some beads and tassels but my darling Jim bought me a hat for my birthday. #goldfinches #stilllife #sideboard #sideboardstyling #antiqueclock #familypainting #landscapepainting #whereverilaymyhat #homestyling
