My name is Alison Ellerbrook and I run Hunkydory Home. Stared in 2005 selling my own colourful handmade lampshades and cushions now we also offer a range of design-led and handmade home accessories and gifts – there’s something gorgeous and quirky for everyone.
I collect… Vintage kitchenware – I have a thing for Hornsea pottery.
I can’t live without… my husband and beautiful daughter, mugs of strong tea and my laptop.
My guilty pleasure is… watching trashy telly.
Our house is filled with… currently boxes and bubble wrap everywhere, but also travel and design books and far too many toys.
I treasure my… can I say sleep? I treasure sleep more than anything and never get enough of it!
Right now I can’t stop thinking about… all the things on my ‘to do’ list, but mainly about moving hunkydory into premises next month and everything that entails.
Currently I am reading… The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
My favourite item of clothing is… I live in, and couldn’t live without, my jeans.
At the top of my furniture wish list is… an oversized and very comfortable armchair that I could sink into. I also need a coffee table and more bookcases.
The last thing that really inspired me was… I spend a lot of time visiting designers’ websites and blogs and I’m always finding inspiration for the website online.
My comfort food is… chocolate.
On my desk are… a Cath Kidston sewing box, some Japanese erasers, a mug of tea, a pile of filing that grows bigger every day, scissors, a bag of white zips and a tape measure.
This weekend I will… sit in the sunshine and read my book whilst enjoying a child-free 24 hours!
