Martin & The Magpie

closed for  a holiday

( If you have orders with us this week, don't worry, we know!!)

Bathing Beauty

Here at Martin & the Magpie we sell all sorts...with this gorgeous green enamel bath for example £22... perfect for planting up in your garden...I see a sea of lavender, or wonderful white geraniums.

However on a hot muggy Sunday, a more traditional use was found, and it cheered this little chap up no end.

{P.S...Baby is NOT for sale! ;) }
