The Digital Picnic

September 01, 2025

Here at Feather & Noise we love Makin' Noise about savy small businesses we discover and love! We are so excited to collaborate with Cat and Cherie from The Digital Picnic for our very first Makin' Noise feature!

Cat and Cherie met online and fast became friends over their shared love of all things social media and digital marketing! It wasn't long before The Digital Picnic was born as they wanted to share their vast knowledge with YOU, giving you the tools to navigate and manage your own digital media and marketing.

And now it's over to Cherie...

"When Ali asked Cat and I to join her for a feature shoot showcasing her ‘February Collection’, I almost died laughing. Like, dead. Kaput. Done for. Models? Cat, definitely! She has the cheekbones, the collarbones, and the best bangs in the biz! Me? Well, let’s just say my second pregnancy has left me decidedly “festively plump”. And so I thought about this for roughly 34 seconds, & then I said, “sure! Why not!”. Why? Well, because I just decided that perhaps F&N customers might actually enjoy seeing a little bit o’ “festive plump” in their ‘February Collection’. Because for so many of us, that is our reality, & I am learning to be comfortable with my festively plump physique.

And so that was that. Cat and I signed ourselves up for our “pretend model” life.

And what a day-in-the-life-of we did indeed end up having! The set? Only the most beautiful home I think I’ve ever laid my eyes on. The styling? Be still my beating heart. The clothes? As if we’d picked them out ourselves. The drinks? Pimms. So basically, … one of my faves! The food? Beyond words. The photographer? The actual best dry wit I’ve come across since my sister left Australia for Scotland four years ago (actually, it made me miss her immensely). And Ali? Actual kindest human being!
