On the road India style…part I
Everyday here is so busy and so full of life, yet strangely it feels like time slows down…. the colour, the crazy modes of transport, children in impossibly pressed school uniforms walk alongside scruffy street urchins seeking an existence. India, the best and worst of all that there is. A great find, a shiny new … Read more
Spring, colour & Indian inspiration…
We wanted to shine the light on some of our beautiful pieces from India as we think about heading there in the coming months… The inspiration for the Spring window was the lovely teak antique swing seat, perfect for wiling away a few afternoons as the days gradually become warmer…& a small collection of terracotta pots made in … Read more
Antiques in the workshop…
After a few weeks of buying in France & Belgium – it is very grounding to return to the workshop! Although sometimes i think the name workshop does not do justice to this creative space…perhaps atelier or studio? Whatever the name, it is here that our ideas take shape, it is a hard-working space where … Read more
Ode to paris
Fleetingly we arrive in Paris, our schedule is busy but it is difficult not to be delighted just to be here.

Sometimes it can be hard to visualize how well a more modern piece will sit amongst our store that is very focused on … Read more

Once a year…
Once a year Mother’s Day comes around….. it’s perfect timing (the month of May) to indulge in little fun, buy something on your wishlist, or enjoy a late breakfast & leisurely morning. I have included a few suggestions below if needed… For those who also end up mothering the dog of the house - perhaps the family pooch could give back too, we have a … Read more
