Culture in Sheffield

If you find yourself at a loose end in Sheffield over the next few months why not pop into the Watercolour in Britain Tradition and Beyond exhibition at the Millennium Galleries. We've submitted a collection for the exhibition shop. It includes these fabric shoppers which we're really pleased with.

Neighbourhood Watch

Here are some of our neighbours from Sunday Upmarket where we trade each week, just off Brick Lane.Kate creates a Pakistani bazaar each week selling colourful rugs, bags, mirrors, clothing, teapots, and toys.
Rosie of Rosie Wonders designs and makes her own cards, jewellery, shoppers, pictures and anything else she can decorate with her designs. She was very excited this week as she will be selling on ASOS soon.Every year Ken takes his family back home to Malaysia where they all get spoilt by the relatives and he stocks up for the year.
And finally Christine sells scarves and vintage clothing, the scarves at the back of her stall are her own designs which she weaves at home.

workshop update


The new slab is finally done and has been inspected by our builder friend John who popped round to see how we were getting on. He described my work as "looks good from a distance" which I am sure is a ringing endorsement for my DIY skills. Next step is to build some not too wonky walls using featured blocks.

Woodbridge Weekender

We're at the Woodbridge Vintage and Contemporary Market this weekend, it should be lots of fun. We're looking forward to browsing the vintage stalls ourselves.

We'll still be at Cambridge on Saturday and Spitalfields on Sunday.

Big Blue Sky

We recently dropped an order off at Big Blue Sky, Wells, North Norfolk. As Cath the owner said in a Daily Telegraph interview (after winning one of their best independent shop prizes) ‘I suppose I took the idea of a seaside souvenir shop a little bit further.’ She really has the shop is a vast space which you could spend hours browsing in, with all sorts of lovely stuff from Deck chairs to Jewellery to St Judes printed notepads to books on the area.

If travelling eastwards along the coast road it's the last shop on the right before you leave Wells. Wells is worth a look too - Fish and Chips on the front'll keep you going for hours.
