Canvas Belles

04/06/2026

This was such a lovely party to set up x a Wicked Sleepover for 8 little girls who are the best of friends.
I’ll be honest, this was special for several reasons: I may know a few of the girls from a different role but also, the birthday girl lives literally ‘down the road’.
The shortest commute in ‘Canvas Belles’ ’ history!
I think this theme is one of my favourites-I love the combination of colours and props.
For this one the tray tables were in the adjacent room where our cinema screen was set up with cosy blankets, cushions and tray tables.
Thank you so much for having us. Ada, I hope you had the best time and you were definitely the most awesome helper!
Please give Mum a follow as she starts transforming her beautiful home.
Thank you so much for having us!

Good morning everyone! Hopefully you are all having a lovely half term!
We are in Beer. Just debating whether to walk down to the beach or write some school reports….

I might need some strong willpower to crack on with the latter.
Anyway, to distract me further, here
is a selection of photos from Imelda’s birthday party. What a fantastic theme she chose-I always love Harry Potter because it feels so magical.
This party was extra special because I get to teach with Imelda’s Mummy!
It was such a family affair helping to set up and choosing who got which scarf or witches hat!
So many choices!
Thank you so much for having us Fiona! I loved it 💫🧙‍♀️💫

Greetings from sunny Beer-one of my most favourite places in the world ❤️

Im using some of my time to catch up on here so apologies now for all the incoming posts.
First up is the rainiest set up ever for two beautiful wedding tents. Ironic as Im writing this on one of the hottest, driest days!
was having a gorgeous, flower filled wedding at her family farm and needed one bridal tent and one guest tenth with real beds.
Originally ordered as one 5m and one 6m we had to upgrade(for free) the former to a 6m as I forgot how big the guest bed was@🫣
Usually we let the beds take centre stage but, because of the Strong rainfall, we had to place each bed side on to the entrance so no part of the bed was touching the sides.

As the theme was bright and floral(with no red) it was a treat to use these fabulous cushions from again although I was gutted to learn their stick is now exhausted. Please let me know if you are aware of any other suppliers🙏

Anyway. I digress! No surprise@to those who know me well!

Many congratulations to Angus and Grace on their wedding day and thank you so much for trusting us.

If you have any parties or celebrations which require a bell tent please do ger in touch. We have just two weekends left in August. June and July as we are practically full.

Thank you☀️☀️☀️

Where the magic happens....well. That’s how Mackenzie Crook describes his writing shed. Not sure that is what happens in here but, it is where I sit and plan all of your parties and events.
A little sanctuary, in my favourite place, where I can hideaway and be surrounded by some of my favourite treasures.
Our first summerhouse was nicknamed the Bahama Beach House in memory of my father in law’s dream-if you look closely you can see little treasures from there as well as souvenirs from a few of my favourite places -little bits of sunshine. Some people have tattoos to tell the story of their life. I have pictures...literally hundreds.
People always ask ‘how I do it. Well, as anyone with a crazy busy brain understands, you need a little place with everything all ordered and calm.
This (with a very supportive, lovely little family) is mine.
Keep scrolling to see my ferocious guard dogs! Terrifying creatures.
Also. If you like the settee here is your top tip for the day.
Dunelm have outlet places that deliver! This settee fits perfectly and was a 50% bargain! Huge thanks to Mum for the great spot!

Good morning everyone, as exam season is upon us I thought I’d share this beautiful, serene set up for Grace’s birthday party.
This was such a treat to set up as I got to see her lovely Mum again and I also got inspired by Kerry and Grace’s idea to pop cushions on the end of each bed so the girls could all have a comfy spot to rest their heads whilst talking to each other. Genius!
I thought it was stunning.

This set up was for Grace and her sister-they have their birthdays@one week apart so we’re able@to have separate parties one week apart.
If we can help you with something similar then please ask.

Have a wonderful day and, if you have children in Year 6 give them an extra special hug this morning. SAT’s week is upon us and the days can seem long.

Thank you so much again Kerry. It was so lovely to see you again ###

Three guesses for today’s theme!
This has to be one of my favourites to create. I absolutely love it and really enjoyed creating this one where you could be Team Elphaba or Team Glinda. This was for a very lucky girl who had 5 friends for sleepover. I got to set up whilst the star of the show was out with her grandparents. It was so lovely to meet Lizzie whose friend Jemma had recommended us. We really appreciate every mention and recommendation or repeat booking.
It always means so much. Thank you 🙏
Also, I love creating the table trays and thèse were great because I got to use lots of my favourites including my beautiful glass candlesticks from and lovely battery lights from
The perfect colours.
Have a lovely Friday everyone. I’m off to school to have a fun day with my class including celebrations for Sir David Attenborough’s birthday.
Have a lovely day and Lizzie, thank you so much for choosing us. I’m so happy Izzie loved her sleepover 💚💕

Our first bell tent of the season coincided with the one year anniversary of last year’s first bell tent. Also in Harbury 🧡
Last year was not my best for instagram so I am now trying hard to make amends. We loved this one. It was a place for younger guests to hang out over a weekend of family celebrations.
Lots of fun for younger guests plus a place to sleep for those who dared.
It’s always fun to create something specific and I loved how fun this one turned out to be. Beautiful outdoor rug from and bright linen cushions from adding all the style.
Being lucky we got to return to this lovely family later in the year.
Thank you so much for trusting us(&inviting us back!)
It was an absolute pleasure.

First bell tent of the season and what a beautiful day Saturday was! Hannah is a huge fan of Studio Ghibli and so wanted her favourite. colours of blue and green mixed with a touch oh pink with the most beautiful accessories and bunting both made and collected by herself.
It was lovely to create this for Hannah. She is such a kind and lovely girl and the little sister of Jake who Ruby went all the way through primary with.
Living so close Hannah got to brave the Canvas Belles cushion&blanket emporium and I think she chose brilliantly. As I keep assuring my husband-there is no such thing as too many cushions…

It was so lovely to spend time with you and Hannah Kim. Im so@sorry it rained in Saturday but thrilled you finally got your movie night in Sunday.
Happy Birthday Hannah! What a brilliant theme you chose.
