needs and wants

Beautifully simple - everyone needs an angel and I love the sage green, the oak leaf and acorn wings and those pointy feet. Woodcut by Sarah Young

Hobnail Pitcher from Pentreath and Hall, described as 'ugly-beautiful' though I don't see the ugly myself. I love that turquoise...

Antique cheese boards - for our healthy (?) love of cheese
Pointers by James Brown - if only everything was as black and white!

For those of us on lazy summer holidays how about a little Cloud Classification, also by James Brown

Books, books, books...can never have enough really. I have just started Wolf Hall so that will take my reading time for a while, I imagine. But after that I was thinking of a series and the Cazalet family might just fit the bill.

Oh help! I just love the shop floor project....but oh, no look at those gorgeous limited edition Alice Pattullo cushions 'ahoy there me 'earties' or what about these oil painting bags by Swarm?


And what about the cutest bumble bee necklace - oh, c'mon you gotta have one of those! Maybe you're limiting yourself to practical essentials such as...

Needs and Wants:

Yes, I need that world map and that long eye-lashed moustached fellow and that nice bunny on a tray (all from here oh, la,la) But I also need this by Barbara Jones...
