After buying my first home, a country cottage in the small Lancastrian village where I grew up, I
became enthusiastic about surrounding myself with things that I love. So in 2011 I started Silver
Mushroom, selling a selection of carefully chosen kitchen and homeware items online, from my
bedroom. In 2014, my younger sister Emmie joined me on my journey, bringing her added flair for
design, experience with social media and giving me someone to bounce ideas off.
