Dear Reader,
In my recent House Guest podcast with interior design studio Aldridge and Supple, ex-model Saffron Aldridge talks about her love of art and how she visits exhibitions and fairs looking for the ideal piece for a client's house. You may well bump into her at The Decorative Fair, May 7-9, a rich hunting ground, not just for pictures but furniture, lighting and textiles.

Make a date in your diary (25-26 June) – it's a fascinating showcase of sustainable and responsibly produced textiles – a real eye-opener.
