Well the year has got away with me, I think I am on the back foot. The autumn menu is not ready - it seems too early to be putting the sandles away.

BOOK LAUNCH
Has been delayed because the design process and photography have taken longer than expected. We will keep you updated for a launch date.

NEW STOCK
Now in stock we have some some beautiful enamel jugs made in Romania and some lovely nautical and navigational replicas suitable for children's rooms or studies - made in the USA.

NEW ROOM
The end room is now the craft room with an emphasis creating with retro and second hand fabrics. It is still a work in progress but pop in and have a look.
