I recently read an article about exploring your brand identity so I made myelf a coffee and put it into practice for Doily Days. Here's what I came up with:
If Doily Days was a country it would be: England because tea from bone china cups and delicate sandwiches with the crusts removed couldn’t be anywhere but!
Car: Morris Minor Convertible – perfect for a sunny drive through country lanes
Drink: Tea or homemade lemonade on the lawn before tennis
Shop: Cath Kidston because the traditional country house style is just fabulous
Flower: Foxgloves because they evoke images of pretty cottage gardens hundreds of years ago
Cake: Victoria Sponge although there are many
Fruit: Strawberries served in bone china teacups
