Super Duper Exciting News!

This has been kept a secret now for a few weeks and I'm so glad I can finally tell everyone...

Altered Chic is going to have a new home...

a bricks and mortar shop!

By the end of May, Altered Chic will be moving into part of the local craft shop - Arcade Crafts.

We will be stocking all our usual goodies as well as lots and lots of new ones.

This will be our new shop front...



As you can probably tell, I am so excited about this news. It has been a dream of mine from day one of my little indie business and now we actually get to make that dream come true.

We have so many ideas for our new little store and we will be sharing our journey with you.

You can find Arcade Crafts, the home of our new store, at 7 Falcon Yard, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S40 1PF.

Our Brand New Website!

The brand new Altered Chic website is now online. There you can buy all our lovely products including some brand new products. There will also be more new products added every month!



I'd love to know what you'd think of the new design. It was designed by myself and features my own hand-drawn icons. The lovely John spent many an hour building it for me.

Pretty Mother's Day Bunting

Ideal to hang from a shelf, across the mantlepiece or on the wall, this bunting is a pretty way to show your Mum your love, either at Mother's Day or for a birthday.

A set of nine flags strung onto two metres of satin cream ribbon. Each flag is painted in a pretty pastel shade (yellow, blue, pink & lilac). This shabby chic style bunting has the letters MUM cut from the centre three flags as well as two hearts.

The bunting is currently available to purchase from Notonthehighstreet.com and will shortly be available on our brand new website - coming very soon!

Week 8: Mushroom & Spinach Lasagne

Lasagne is one of my favourite dishes. I also love cooking it so I thought I'd mix it up a little by creating a vegetarian lasagne with spinach and mushroom.

This recipe can be found on the Good to Know website.


When reading the recipe I wasn't sure about using creme fraiche so instead I replaced it with a traditional white sauce.

The end result was delicious. Other mushroom and spinach lasagnes I had eaten in the past were made simply with a cream sauce. This one is made up of 3 layers - the creamy white sauce, the spinach and then the mushrooms cooked in a tomato sauce. The tomato made a lovely change and really added to the flavours of the spinach and mushrooms.

If you love Italian food, I would really recommend trying this dish.
