With the promise of new beginnings, the hedgerows are bursting with life, filled with birdsong and sweetly scented flowers attracting bees, butterflies and insects alike. A blackbird, sparrow and wren, some of Britain’s most well-known birds, can be found surrounded by budding blossom, beautiful roses and elegant magnolia. The designs are born from Victoria’s desire to create a timeless floral design inspired by childhood memories of exploring hedgerows around the UK on family holidays and being taught by her young daughter to stop and smell the roses. The apron by Victoria Eggs invites wildlife into your home and is sure to put a spring in your step whilst you cook up a storm in the kitchen. The design is screen printed onto 100% cotton, is machine washable and has an adjustable neck-tie. The Wildlife in Spring collection includes the apron, mug, tea towel, oven glove, coasters as well as breakfast tea and shortbread biscuits. Victoria’s products are proudly made in Britain, working with members of the British manufacturing community to create the range. The textiles are printed, hand sewn and finished by a family-run business in Lincolnshire and the beautiful fine bone china mugs are hand printed and decorated in a traditional English factory. This is Victoria’s proud salute to all that makes Britain British. T: +44 (0)208 013 3284 E: info@victoriaeggs.com www.trade.victoriaeggs.com 
