Messy La Illustration

Last week I created this illustration for a web shop/blog called Messy La. This house is where Lara (the shop owner) sits and work, isn't it sweet?

Lara makes really cute handmade cards and gifts, check out her blog and shop here.

My favourite part to draw was Lara's cat Oscar, he's so beautiful!

Lisa Edoff Design iPhone Cases

My iPhone Cases have arrived, yay! Super excited to see how they'll do at the market on Saturday!

Tove & Jonas' Wedding ♡

Here are some photos from our friends Tove and Jonas' wedding last weekend, it was perfect!


Me and Sofia were toast madames, that means we kind of lead the dinner party after the ceremony, introduced all of the speeches and we also did our own speech. We were quite nervous before but it went really well and it was so much fun!


Tove looked soooo beautiful and both her and Jonas were just beaming with happiness!

The gang: Arman, Sofia, Jonas, Tove, me and James.
It was a really relaxed and lovely country wedding, both me and James enjoyed it so much and we're so happy for our friends!

Magnolia Cushions

Here's my latest product - sofa cushions! My mum and I have hand sewn these, they're made from a cotton panama fabric that I had printed with my Magnolia design in England.


I will be selling these cushions and my other products at a lovely summer market in Stallarholmen (outside of Mariefred) in Sweden on the 29th of June. It's called Kreativa Marknaden (The Creative Summer Market), and if any of my Swedish readers are in the area I'd love for you to come say hi!

Kidnapping a Pregnant Lady

Last weekend was SO fun! Me and Sofia kidnapped Tove (who is getting married this Saturday) dressed like this!

We rang her doorbell in these suits and held up a sign saying she had 20 mins to pack an overnight bag, her reaction was priceless! But it was extremely hot in the suits and I could hardly breath in that mask, so we had to rush her even more!

Then we took her into a nice hotel in Stockholm where we stayed the night, and the next day we met up with Tove's other friends and did lots of fun activities, it was a great hen do!

Our First Week in Sweden

We've been in Sweden for a week! The weather has been fantastic, and I've loved being a bit closer to nature and having more open spaces around me.

We've had a lot of things to do, first we went out and bought a bed and organised our bedroom, and today all of our boxes came in a huge truck! They've been stored in my parents' garage for the moment. 

Last Saturday we went to support my brother who ran the Stockholm Marathon! It was so fun and we were all really impressed by Peter's achievement.

There were some funny runners in costumes too.

The race finished inside Stockholm Stadium, me and my dad stayed and cheered for two hours!

I've been working on some designs outside, like I said the weather has been so lovely, sunny but not too hot, and at 11pm it's still light outside.

We've also met up with some friends, here we are having a yummy brunch at Sofia's house.

So far so good in Sweden!

New Dress & New Beginning in Sweden!

Yesterday I bought a new dress for one of my best friends Tove's wedding in a few weeks, so excited!

As you know I love print and patterns and this one is just lovely!

What's even more lovely is that James and I are moving to Sweden next week! We have decided to relocate to Stockholm and we're both super excited! I will run my design company from there and James will learn Swedish, eeek! :) 

I know I'e kept it a bit of a secret on the blog, there wasn't any reason for that, it just happened since I had so much other stuff going on with my work and stuff. But I will surely keep you updated about the move, it will be a new adventure for me and James, finding jobs and a place to live in Sweden. I have lived in London for seven years now and loved it, but it's time to come home. We will always come back though to visit friends and family of course. I'm so lucky and happy James is willing to give Sweden a try, hopefully he'll love it!

Lisa Edoff Design at Pulse Trade Show

I had three great days at Pulse, a trade show for the UK and international homeware, fashion and gift industry. It was a really good experience, I definitely learned a lot and met some cool people!

The show was at Earl's Court exhibition centre in London, it's massive!

I exhibited at a section called "Selected", it's an area where young designers that have graduated from University of the Arts London can show their products. Central St Martins College of Design (which is quite a famous London art college) had selected the designers on show, there was 17 of us and everything from jewellery to print design and product inventions.

My mum came over from Sweden to help me out, it was so nice to have her there, mainly for moral support!

Here is my collection of wooden serving trays, I have developed a new, bigger "Wonderland" tray that you can see here on the left, and also one with a black background (to the right).

These are all new products! (except for the notebooks) You have seen the peacock and bird scarf before, but I've also made some silk scarves with the magnolia pattern...

plus these lovely wash bags and a laptop bag! I also had four different iPhone cases made, they came out so great!

During one of the days the "Selected" stand had a wine reception, we drank out of these clever wine glasses that you can write your name on with chalk, designed by my fellow exhibitor Cami Raben. 



The iPhone cases received really good feedback!

I had a magnolia one made for my htc phone, I love it!

James dropped by of course!


After three days I was completely spent, but very happy about the experience and the contacts I made, it was so nice to meet the other designers and good to see how these trade shows work. 

And a couple of days ago I got my first offline stockist, a gift shop in Scotland is going to start selling my trays, hooray!
