Sarah Stockley

Sarah is mum to three children and a plethora of animals (mostly cats) and lives in Surrey. You'll often find her family exploring the great outdoors, foraging in the woods, camping and visiting festivals. Sarah also loves to upcycle things and will happily turn an old pallet into a rustic shabby chic sign. She studied Art and Design at college and when she's not blogging at Kippers and Curtains she also likes to make bohemian style dreamcatchers. This mum is also never far from her camera - much to the annoyance of her children.
