Another Road Trip...

Our 1/2 term holiday is a big round robin to visit several suppliers. I regret we are dragging the kids with us, but they will get to see a few old friends on route.  Need to spend less time in the car in 2010!

Anthropologie


Finally when we were in London to see January Top Drawer we made it to the new Anthropologie store. A feast of visual merchandising ideas & general creativity from all angles. Breathtaking living wall of plants scaling all 3 floors of the store.  Fascinated by the amazing recycled chandeliers by Magpie Using baths of lentils to display fragile items such a great idea. Huge industrial antiques both for sale & used as display hardware. Organic twiddly bits over the cash desk, super attention to detail with hand typed  signage on old papers & cards, wonderful old embroidery markers as a wall display, I could go on & on......






Top Drawer

Well good news we have been accepted to show our new venture at Top Drawer September 2010.
Seems like a long time but feels just around the corner with everything we need to have ready.
