Morning! I’m afraid the shop will be closed today as a result of the weather. Stay safe everyone!

Lovely little French still life. Tucked in ‘the kitchen department’. It’s teeny probably about 9 or 10” wide (I say probably because I forgot to measure it). Not very pro, I know.

I have three of these oversized Syrian grain/flour vessels. Two are currently in the shop. They’ll be on the website by the close of play on Sunday. I love their organic form and patina. They are incredibly tactile. I have my fave aspidistra in one - balanced on a hidden internal tower of old boxes so it stands about 6 feet tall. It’s very much a case of ‘what lies within’ - hidden from view. However not once has anyone noticed. Fur coat and all that. 😊

It was a quiet one in the shop today. I faced my demons and started seriously sorting the website out. Progress was made! I’m not allowed on a buying trip until it’s done. Bah humbug! We’re open tomorrow from 10 - 5. Be lovely to see you. ♥️☀️

Happy y’all! It’s a little dreary hear in the but not in our little shop where the sun is always shining! ☀️ ♥️ Today I continue on the quest that is getting my website where I want it to be…… have been procrastinating wildly on this one and finding any opportunity to faff! Time to get my big girl pants on!
