Snap happy

Our fab friend (and excellent photographer) Graham popped over today to help us out with the huge backlog of photography that's built up as a result of all the exciting new products and and interesting fleamarket finds that we've collected over the last little while for the website. He did a stirling job (for this we thank you Graham) and only required a cuppa and the odd flapjack to keep him going all day long. Impressive. We're looking forward to seeing his snaps go live in the next few days.

Will spring cleaning hurry spring along?

We definitely think it's time that Spring started making an appearance. The snow was lovely, it was great to snuggle up in front of the fire during those long dark evenings, and a crispy, cold Christmas was exactly what we were after, but now it's just cold and damp and frankly a bit depressing. We're thinking that maybe starting a bit of Spring cleaning might hurry things along. Nothing too strenuous, just a bit of cleaning and polishing - in fact maybe we'll just do a bit of washing up, but make sure we look the part...

...a cute, inspirational tea-towel...

...a vintage pinny with a bit of 'Mrs Beeton' style...

...and a washing up brush that means business...

Phew. Time for a cosy cuppa and a bit of carrot cake. Washing down the walls and beating the carpets can wait.
