Menagerie

We've gone a bit animal crazy this week....

The question asked most so far is:

How much is that doggy in the window?

To which we reply:

The lovely big one? 

Or cute little one?

Would you rather have the royal birds?

A horse perhaps? 

 We do offer some different breeds.



Do we sell dolphins? Don't be silly..

Of course we do!

But don't fret!

We still sell lovely plants and flowers!

There is only a small chance you could hear a horse whinny inbetween the tulips.....

Fancy a cuppa?

We've started the year fresh.

Everything Christmas related is gone.

Changed the shop around.

Changed the window.

Time for a cuppa....

Erm.....has anyone seen the cups and saucers??

Crazy Horses

Part 1 of this weekend's hunt for bits and bobs for the shop:

Indian good luck horses.

Traditionally hung next to the door for good luck.

The Magpies loved them!

The Dutchman wasn't quite sure about them.

The Battle of The Sexes begun.

The Dutchman lost... Where are Admiral De Ruyter or William III when you need them...

They are quite sweet...

The Dutchman is starting to like them...

They can stay..

No hay needed....

Navy Cut Cigarettes

The Magpies left the nest early this morning to return later with a car filled of some lovely bits and bobs for the shop!

Gorgeous (and usefull!) dresser..

Inkwell anyone?

Vintage cigarettes shipping box - Because every house needs one!

'Snakes skin' chair

Vintage sundial - Buy it and you'll get some rays of sun for free!

The bird on the crown

Doves O' Love

Birds on sticks - They'd be knackered if they had to hoover constantly on the same spot!

Well done ladies! I bet this will fly out of the shop!

Cuteness

Everybody who knows us knows we like anything quirky and cute.

We've had typewriters, doll prams, children's chairs, sconces and now it's time for this very cute shabby chic cupboard!

Isn't it cute?

Even in the drawer it has the map lining.

Wouldn't it just be perfect for in you hall way or in your child's bedroom???

Could be yours for just £55- !!

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves...

The title of many songs...

The sign that summer's gone and winter is coming...

Great for strolling through...

Perfect for nature tables..

Gorgeous colours....

With every change of season I'm saying it's my favorite season..

Contradictive.. I know...

I just can't resist berries.. I love berries! No matter what size or colour!

And I love stepping on Symphoricarpos berries (Snowberry)... especially the sound when they pop!

Autumn planters with a hint of Christmas...

And sold within half an hour! Even surprised me!

Autumn, J'adore...

New and old...

We've filled the shop with some lovely new vintage-y bits and bobs!

Mirros, windows, bookcases, chairs, post boxes.... come and have a look for yourself!

What kept us busy...

I do apologise for not blogging for more than 2 weeks!!! A lot has happened since...

The dolls pram came and went....

A not-every-day-sight in the High Street

Several visits from our regular customer, Mr B. Bee

A visit from the Dutch family, including the famous 'Let's take a picture of each other'-shot...

Barbeques...

Lavender baskets... lots of lavender baskets...

Gorgeous sunsets in wheatfields.....

What kept you busy the last few weeks?
