  Summer Scarves, Coasting, Knockout Nordic Stoneware, Helping Hospitality & Spread A Little Happiness! Good Morning! I hope that you have had a lovely last week of lock-down? It feels so strange preparing to re-open - I'm actually quite nervous! I certainly spoke too soon about the weather! I was gazing out of the window on Monday morning and thinking 'doesn't the blossom look pretty blowing across the sky' and then realised that it was not, in fact, blossom but snow! In April! How rude! And the temperatures! Shockingly bitter - I have had the heating on for obscene amounts of time, it has been like January. This season can be the most treacherous I find, one year April can be warm and sunny and the next, arctic! Oddly, I did pre-empt this way back in November when I discovered a young Parisienne and her sensational summer-scarf collection. Cotton and linen scarves are de rigueur in Europe during the summer months - they are practical for keeping one warm in the ea...

  Happy Easter, Glorious Glass, 1960's Inspired Ceramics & A  Glimpse Of The Future: 3-D Printed Homeware! What a wonderful week it has been! The sunshine, the encouraging Covid figures and now we have Easter! Sometimes little things happen that gladden the soul and yesterday we received a parcel from a dear customer with Easter treats in it for the whole team - Vegan Chocolate for the Good Doctor, Hot Cross Buns for me and Cream Eggs for Lady Ange, while The Lovely Lene has bagged some Lindt, chocolate, mini eggs! My thanks to Lori and Ron for being so kind and making us all smile! I have been titivating the GD's apartment to sell - the Estate Agent took dreadful pictures (not a vase of flowers in sight!) so I have been busy buying some dove grey curtains and matching barrel lampshades to give it some curb appeal! We have also been hunting for a new bed - we did find one candidate, but the delivery date was in 6 month's time.......I am not a patient man! I have ...

  British Summer-Time & Dining Al Fresco At Last!  Good Morning From Sunny London! I hope that everyone has had a good week - the weather has definitely taken a turn for the better! Well it's official - moving is horrid! I now can't find anything and have had to squeeze some Hove purchases into London as 19th century candelabra looked un petit peu outsize in the apartment! Still, we have done it and next time we move it will be for decades! The removal company broke our bed, which was upsetting for a few moments until I realised that this presented a shopping opportunity. I don't tend to get deterred by things that I cannot change - make lemonade I say and there's a 19th century, French, walnut bed out there somewhere with my name on it! The Loo With A View In exciting news, I have a new Loo! Sorry to discuss toilets over breakfast(!), but bitter experience has taught me that you really do get what you pay for with lavatories and the chain store (excuse the pun) mod...
