February
Welcome to February's monthly musings. We're all guns blazing here at AA with lots of newness and numerous travels to the US to set up for trade shows, we're feeling upbeat for Feb and can almost see and feel lighter days on the horizon.
Hello February
I'm now fully into the flow of 2025 and although a little shattered from travels to and from the US to set up for our trade shows in Atlanta, Vegas and New York, I'm feel quite supercharged for the start of Feb. We're all about the glow with our new table lamps in the most chic shapes and full on textures, with even more to come.
One of the things I love about the trade shows is seeing what's up and coming for interiors, new shapes, new textures etc it's also a great opportunity to top up my inspo tank.
I hope you're all feeling refreshed now we're over the natural slump of Jan, I can't wait to share my inspo and new drops, oh and I'll now be hosting my Style Surgery on the 1st Sunday of each month (except for this one), tune in on 8th Feb where I'll be happy to answer all of your decorating dilemmas and generally having a good natter with our lovely interiors obsessed community.

What's Cooking
As you guys know I'm always looking for new tasty recipes (I tend to read recipe books like novels). This month I'm making batches of all sorts of tasty pestos.They are so easy to whizz up and keep in the fridge all ready for adding a huge flavour bomb to my meals in an instant. This is one of my constant faves that I keep coming back to by Donna Hay.

What's New
At Abigail Ahern
It's an exciting month of new drops of which I've been waiting to share with you guys for what seems like yonks. We've had an amazing response to our new blooms and having recently given the store flower area a refresh, I'm loving how these new botanicals all sit together, from nuanced pinks to wild rosehips to delicate garden blooms like Peonies and Hydrangeas that have such a realistic look and movement. Gathered into soft billowy bunches, they make a perfect focal point ready to give your pad a botanical boost. I'm also loving our new super super textural lamps. They have a real gritty presence but still have an air of chic too, I'm popping them all over my pad (perks of the job).
