Migration


I think these little Blackbirds are in need of some autumn revival.
Fantastic statement pieces that can be worn and loved every day.

I have just  sent some off to to The Shop Floor Project for Christmas. 
Check out their wonderful collections of gifts and products by young British designers.

More Hastings/Hendy magic



Inspiring Hastings




I'm slowly falling in love with this fascinating seaside town.
Unique antiques, junk shops galore with surprises round every corner.
One lazy Sunday, we stumbled across this little gem.
A inspirational homeware store by chef Alastair Hendy (who can sometimes be found hidden at the back of the store serving up delights such as sprats and samphire with parsley and vinegar or spiced fig & nut chocolate). The beautifully renovated building is full to its rickety brim with vintage furniture and simple functional and utilitarian products for the home with hidden corridors and dusty attic rooms that make it more museum than shoplike.
