Debates, banquets and hot showers beside a lake: Wilderness is no ordinary festival. 

Taking place in the dreamy Cornbury Park from 8th to 11th of August, it's curated by Secret Productions, who are masters in executing acts of artist theatricality. They're responsible for the Secret Garden Party, after all.

For Wilderness, the concept is more holiday-cum-festival rather than down-the-line revelry. Although, you're not to worry since there'll be plenty of that too; Empire of Sun headline and performances come from Noah and the Whale and Martha Wainwright. Oh, and there's a masked ball and even a roller disco, too. All this and the essence of the festival remains laid back, balmy fun in a green oasis.

Best of all, Oh Comely have two tickets to giveaway. Simply email [email protected] or tweet this link on Twitter. You can also buy tickets here.

Good luck, and we'll see you there!

Update on 26th June, 2013: This competition is closed. Thank you to all who entered.

This week we’re choosing from the range of 'spragrances' created by &otherstories – an excellently branded fashion store from the creators of H&M. Seemingly the Willy Wonka of the body mist world, the brand has created delicious concoctions with names like Rose Revival, Fig Fiction and Lemon Daydream, that sound good enough to eat. Our favourite is the vibrant Couture Carnival – encapsulating “fruit cocktails” and “dancing ‘till dawn”, with notes of raspberry, guava, white patchouli and black amber. Not quite as revolutionary as lickable wallpaper, but we reckon pretty close.

Buy the body mists for £12 each and view their lovely tumblr-style website at &otherstories.

Sasha Gill sent this photo through of her afternoon tea. She says, "I read Oh Comely with toast and a glass of soy milk. And my toast is often adorned with various animal faces, because life is too short to eat average-looking ones!"

My favourite procrastination techniques are the ones that make me feel productive - cleaning my flat, paying bills, catching up with correspondence. The very best ones are the ones that fool me into thinking I’m actually working, so I was ecstatic when I discovered that the Paris Review had made their how-writers-write interview series, The Art of Fiction, available online.

In each article a writer is interviewed at length, discussing everything from their early influences to the practicalities of their work. Do they write in the morning? Do they plan a story before they begin or do they see where the characters take them?

Instead of descaling my kettle for the fourth time, I read how Joan Didion immersed herself in the rhythm of her prose by re-typing what she had written the day before. I learned the very specific meaning of ‘twerp’ in an interview Kurt Vonnegut conducted with himself. I discovered that Alice Munro looked to editors to weed out self-deceit in her stories.

Here were my heroes, stripped bare, exposing the secret to their craft, and to their lives. It would probably be a stretch to say that reading the interviews have made me a better writer, but they are a continual source of pleasure and inspiration. By the way, a twerp is a person who inserts a set of false teeth between the cheeks of his ass. So now you know.

The time has finally come and we are very pleased to announce the winner of our first Craft Club mission is Katie McLurg!

She raised the modest tulip to new heights alongside lilies and roses in this beautiful wheelbarrow arrangement. Choosing to do away with the traditional patterned origami paper, she’s opted for country-vintage style with brown paper and old newspapers, for a gorgeous result! 

To say thanks for her wondrous efforts, we will be giving her an annual oh comely subscription. Thank you also to everyone else who entered - we very much appreciated your contributions.

Keep an eye on Katie’s Folksy store, Potting Shed Crafts, for hand-knitted accessories, a forthcoming collection of summer dresses and, thanks to her newly discovered origami talents, maybe even a couple of charming paper bouquets for sale.

And so we march onwards to the forthcoming oh comely Issue 16, featuring a tutorial for making your own cute notebook, using Japanese stab-binding. We look forward to releasing this into the world – and remember there are free subscriptions at stake here, as well as crafty pride and respect of course. 

Come forth oh season of sunshine! We long for the smell of suncream and the freedom to wear flip-flops! And if the sun’s rays ever last long enough for us to call it summer, we’d also wish for something beautiful to protect our bonse with. Enter The Brim Label’s summer collection of hand-made printed hats. Their vintage-explorer style makes them just as perfect for jungle trekking as they are for wandering to the local pub in. We like this floral number (namely Vintage #10, £75) and the nautical navy stripe (also £75), especially. Both are made using salvaged leather and cotton, and there are never more than 10 hats made in one print.

The sprightly upstart to London's RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the Chelsea Fringe, is happening! Celebrating all that's green and garden-bound, here are the events we're most looking forward to over the three week, alternative garden festival.

Ally Capellino are running two nights of flower arranging this week. The gatherings are free; all you're to do is bring along a jar to fill with flowers and book a space. Drinks also provided.

Squint is playing host to a pop-up shop curated by the Balcony Gardener in their west London garage space. They'll be displaying a Museum of Terrariums, in and amongst Squint's characteristic patchwork furniture. 

And, if you've ever fancied knitting a caterpillar (or even a slug) pass by the Veg Knit-Along at Battersea Flower Station. Fran will be giving free, garden-themed knitting classes every Sunday during the Fringe.

For other events, including a Gnome Invasion, visit the Chelsea Fringe website.

In Issue 15's Pretty Lovely pages we spoke to designer Anna Kreeger about her leather bag label M.Hulot. She told us all about her love of hard saddle, vegetable tanned leathers that oozed character and how the throwaway culture of the High Street inspired her to create a characterful collection that is made to last.

If we had a bag by M.Hulot we would want to wear it everyday for ever and lucky for you, Anna has kindly given you the chance to do exactly that by giving us a beautiful green and tan Strapped Howe Clutch to give away.

To be in it to win it, write in to [email protected] and tell us about the possession that you'll never throw out.

You can read the full interview on page 20 of Issue 15 which is in shops now.
